Digital Imaging

Encinitas Dental Art chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Encinitas Dental Art utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.

Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.

Digital X-Rays

At Encinitas Dental Art your individual risk for cavities and gum disease is carefully evaluated to determine the frequency and type of dental x-rays that will best suit your needs.  X-rays allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. X-rays enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, and determine the health of the bone that supports your teeth. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental x-rays are invaluable aids in prevention, early diagnosis and accurate treatment.  Exposure time for dental x-rays is extremely minimal. The use of digital imaging further reduces radiation exposure and eliminates waiting for film to be developed. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging also allows for diagnostic images of your mouth to be enlarged and enhanced to further aid your doctor in making an earlier and more accurate diagnosis.  These images can also be stored and transferred quickly to specialists and insurance companies.
