What are three advantages of digital x-rays over film?

What are three advantages of digital x-rays over film?

We’re pleased to offer modern technologies in our dental office. They make dentistry comfortable for patients, improve outcomes, and underscore safety. Digital x-rays are but one of our modern conveniences!

Digital x-rays in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, offer advantages over older film technologies. Let’s look at three.

#1 Digital X-Rays Are Safer for Patients

Digital x-rays release less radiation than film x-rays, making them safer for our valued patients.

#2 Digital X-Rays Are Clear and Convenient

Digital x-rays don’t require developer chemicals or space for storage. There is no paper or ink involved. They are also easy to resize for more accurate reading and diagnosing. Additionally, sharing x-rays with specialists or insurance companies takes only a few keystrokes as opposed to a mail service that can take a day or longer.

Finally, we can share digital images with you chairside, resizing them to help better explain your oral health.

#3 Digital X-Rays Are Environmentally Friendly

Because there are no harsh developer chemicals or paper waste, digital x-rays are better for the environment.
