Advancements in dental technologies continue to make dental care more accurate, efficient, and safe. Among other technologies available at Dr. T. Kirk Crane’s General & Cosmetic Dentistry in Lafayette, LA, digital X-ray technology has benefited patients with a more precise evaluation and treatment plan, with less radiation exposure. Dr. Crane wants his patients to learn more about how digital X-ray technology improves routine dental exams and procedures.
Digital X-rays in Houston, TX have replaced traditional bite-wing film X-rays at Dr. Crane’s General & Cosmetic Dentisry. This advanced technology provides high definition, highly-detailed images of the gums, teeth, and entire oral cavity. This enables Dr. Crane to detect potential dental problems in their earliest stage. Digital X-rays allow Dr. Crane to rotate, enlarge, email, and print diagnostic dental images to provide greater quality of care. In addition, the patient and Dr. Crane can view digital X-ray images in collaboration.
Beyond the improvements in highly precise and detailed images, digital X-ray technology offers safety benefits. Lafayette, LA dental patients are happy to find out that digital X-rays emit roughly 80 percent less radiation than traditional X-rays used in the past. Dr. Crane encourages patients to experience the accuracy and safety benefits of digital X-ray technology.
