Digital X-Rays

At Renaissance Family Dentistry, we believe it is essential to stay current with the latest advancements in leading-edge dental technology to bring you the best and newest that dentistry offers. Introducing digital dental x-rays to our dental office has improved patient comfort and safety and allowed Dr. Suman to efficiently diagnose problems with a high level of accuracy.

How We Use Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays allow us to provide highly accurate diagnoses, which are crucial to planning tooth fillings, crowns and bridges, root canal treatment, extractions, and more. Our team can share the digital x-ray images with you on your chairside monitor, so you can easily see what they see.

One of our priorities at Renaissance Family Dentistry is keeping our patients informed about their oral health, and digital x-rays are an invaluable tool for doing so.

Panoramic X-Rays

A panoramic x-ray provides a two-dimensional view of all your upper and lower teeth and jaws in one image. These images allow us to determine the position of all of your teeth, gauge bone levels in your jaw, and analyze your jaw joints.

Panoramic x-rays also help us detect other critical issues that may be developing in surrounding bone and tissue, such as oral cancer, cysts, and other abnormalities.

The Benefits of Digital X-Rays

There are numerous benefits to using digital dental x-rays:

Improved patient safety: Using digital x-rays reduces your exposure to radiation by as much as 80% compared to film x-rays, making them safer for you and your family.
Enhanced comfort: Taking digital x-rays is much more comfortable than in the past; instead of biting down on a bulky film clip, we use flat digital sensors with rounded edges for your comfort.
Efficient results: We don’t need to process films to obtain digital x-ray images, so your x-rays are available for viewing within moments.
Early and accurate diagnoses: Since we can manipulate digital images, our dentists can provide an early and accurate diagnosis. We store your digital x-rays in your patient history to monitor your oral health, and we can easily send them to your insurance company or specialists as needed.
Patient education: Our team uses digital images to show you a detailed view of what is happening in your teeth. We believe in the importance of patient education, and seeing the problem for yourself allows you to make smart treatment decisions for you and your family.
Environmentally friendly: Since we don’t have to dispose of any harmful chemicals, digital x-rays are environmentally friendly.

Always a great experience at Renaissance!

Always a great experience at Renaissance! Last year I had to stop going to Renaissance because my insurance changed. I went to another dentist for one cleaning and it really made me miss and appreciate Renaissance. From the wonderful modern office, the personable staff, and the quality of service, Renaissance is unmatched. I ended up switching to my wife’s insurance so I could start going back to Renaissance. Now I’m home again :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need dental x-rays?

Dental x-rays are extremely important because they can show indicators of periodontal disease, decay, and other problems that may not be detectable just by looking at your teeth from the outside.

We know that unnecessary radiation exposure may be a concern for patients, so we use digital x-rays, which can reduce your radiation exposure by as much as 80 percent compared to traditional film x-rays. We also provide patients with a protective apron to wear while x-rays are taken to further minimize any radiation exposure. However, with the latest advances in dental x-ray technology, your exposure to radiation while receiving a dental x-ray is so limited that it often doesn’t even equal the amount you receive from daily natural background radiation.

If you have any questions about the need for dental x-rays, please let us know.
