At Haas Dental Centre, we prioritize patient safety and high-quality care. That's why we use digital dental X-ray technology, which provides a clearer, more detailed view of your oral health while minimizing radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays.

X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool, capturing images of your teeth, jaw, and gums that aren't visible to the naked eye. They help us detect potential dental issues early, ensuring timely treatment and the prevention of more serious complications.

Why Choose Digital X-Rays?

Unlike traditional film-based X-rays, digital X-rays use electronic sensors to capture images instantly. These images can be viewed, enlarged, and enhanced on a computer for more accurate diagnoses. Digital X-rays are also more environmentally friendly since they eliminate the need for film processing and harmful chemicals.

Some of the key benefits of digital X-rays include:

• Early Detection: Identify decay, infections, and abnormalities beneath the gum line before they become serious.
• Periodontal Monitoring: Track gum health and detect bone loss due to gum disease.
• Jawbone & Tooth Position Analysis: Monitor tooth alignment, root health, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
• Preventive Monitoring: Catch problem areas early to avoid future complications.
• Comprehensive Assessment: Detect abnormalities in the jawbone that may indicate underlying health concerns.
• Holistic View: Obtain a complete picture of your teeth in relation to each other for better treatment planning.
• Lower Radiation Exposure: Digital X-rays significantly reduce radiation levels compared to traditional X-rays, enhancing patient safety.
