digital x-rays
Our team at Bear River Family Dental is proud to offer you digital X-rays. The digital X-ray process is faster and more comfortable for our patients than the process involved with a traditional X-ray machine. Digital X-rays are also much safer, emitting less radiation than a microwave oven. The images from the scan can be viewed instantly, allowing our dentist, Dr. Justin Bauer, to recognize and diagnose any potential problems faster than ever before. If you are interested in learning more about digital imaging in Brigham City, Utah, please do not hesitate to call us at 435-723-6120.
Digital X-rays are one of the advanced diagnostic tools we use to provide you with the best possible care. Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental X-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable and more convenient than ever before. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays and require the use of no chemicals for developing the images. Our dentist can then instantly view the high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care. Our team is able to use digital radiography to identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:
- Decay in between teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts and abscesses
- Fractures in existing fillings
- Tumors
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Bone loss
Digital dental X-rays are used to plan many kinds of dental treatment, such as oral surgery procedures, root canal treatment, dental implants, orthodontics and more. To learn more about digital radiography and how we use X-rays at our office, we welcome you to call or visit us soon.
