Denwest Dental utilizes advanced digital imaging technology for proper diagnosis.
Digital Radiography also known as advanced x-ray that produces an instant radiographic image on a computer.
X-ray sensitive plates capture data during the examination, and this data is transferred to a computer via an intermediate cassette. Digital x-rays provide many advantages over normal x-rays. Some of the advantages of digital x-rays include shorter exposure times, improved detail detectability, real-time applications, and enhanced SNR and linearity.
Due to the increased dynamic range, dentists can inspect multiple thicknesses in one shot. Digital x-ray delivers immediate feedback, and it is easy to transfer the image to patients electronically.
Better for our patients, our dentists, and the environment, our dental office uses the most advanced digital pan x-ray equipment available.
Patients are exposed to 85% less radiation compared to conventional x-rays. Since there is no film processing involved, dentists can access the digital images immediately.
Using digital imaging enables us to provide you with the best possible care. Digital imaging allows us to make the treatment process faster, more convenient, and more comfortable. Our dentist will examine your teeth and view instant high-quality images on the computer monitor.
Cone beam C.T. 3D is a special type of x-ray equipment that comes in handy when the normal dental or facial x-ray is not sufficient. Our dentists use this technology to produce three-dimensional images of your teeth and other oral tissues in a single scan. It requires little to no preparation for our doctors to conduct this procedure.
We will seek certain information from you before conducting this procedure. For instance, we will ask about your health history and if you are pregnant. Cone beam C.T. is different from the conventional C.T., but it produces images similar to those produced by the conventional C.T.
Instead of using traditional photographic film, digital radiography employs digital sensors or detectors to capture X-ray images. These sensors convert X-rays into electronic signals, which are then processed by a computer to create detailed and high-resolution images.
Digital radiography generally offers better image quality compared to conventional radiography. The digital images can be manipulated, adjusted, and enhanced to improve diagnostic accuracy. This allows for a more precise diagnosis of medical conditions.
Digital radiography systems are often more efficient in capturing images, requiring less radiation exposure for patients. This is especially important in situations where minimizing radiation exposure is a concern, such as in pediatric radiology or when monitoring chronic conditions.
Digital radiography provides almost instantaneous image acquisition, reducing the time patients spend in the imaging room. This is particularly valuable in emergency situations or when rapid diagnosis is essential.
Digital images can be stored electronically, making it easier to manage patient records, access historical images for comparison, and share them with other healthcare providers or specialists when needed. This enhances collaboration and patient care.
Digital radiography allows healthcare professionals to view images remotely, which is beneficial for telemedicine consultations, second opinions, or for physicians who need to access images from different locations.
Unlike traditional film-based radiography, digital radiography doesn’t require the use of chemical developers and fixers, which can be harmful to the environment. It is considered a more eco-friendly imaging solution.
In dentistry, digital radiography has become the standard for capturing dental X-rays. Intraoral and extraoral sensors are used to take images of teeth, gums, and the surrounding oral structures, providing dentists with valuable diagnostic information.
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialized type of x-ray technology used in dentistry. It produces a 3D image of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. CBCT uses a cone-shaped x-ray beam that rotates around the patient, capturing multiple images that are then reconstructed into a single 3D image.
CBCT scans are useful for a variety of dental applications, including:
Overall, CBCT technology allows dentists and other oral health professionals to gather more detailed and precise information about the structures of the mouth and jaw, leading to more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.
