Digital X-rays is the latest technology used in dentistry today. At Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics Dr. Goetz makes use of this modern type of radiography when needed.
Digital X-rays are more effective since they use digital sensors instead of photographic film, as in the case of traditional radiography. The captured image turns into digital data and is available for viewing within seconds.
Dental X-rays are preventative and diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental examination. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to reliably and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and determine an accurate treatment plan. Without X-rays, hidden problems may be missed.
Dental X-rays can reveal:
– Abscesses or cysts.
– Bone loss.
– Cancerous and non-cancerous tumors.
– Decay between the teeth.
– Developmental abnormalities.
– Poor tooth and root positions.
– Problems inside a tooth or under the gum.
The ability to produce images immediately means that the dentist can adjust the exposure in real time, making the images lighter or darker as needed to see certain aspects of the scan more clearly.
In addition to being more efficient in terms of radiation used, digital X-rays save a lot of time and labor that would otherwise be spent creating, sending and retrieving traditional X-ray results. Digital results are available quickly and easily at the click of a mouse.

Digital x-rays can produce very high quality images, which helps the dentist to observe the scanned body part very accurately.
In digital radiography equipment, patients are exposed to a much lower percentage of radiation than with conventional equipment. This is due to the fact that the high precision and sharpness of current equipment does not require such rigorous examinations or more than one exposure to obtain an adequate image to make a diagnosis.
Since the digital image is captured electronically, thus eliminating the disposal of harmful waste and chemicals in the environment.
In digital radiology, digital sensors are used to capture the image. Once it is sent to the computer, the image can be worked on to make adjustments.
The need for dental x-rays depends on each patient’s individual dental health needs. Your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend the necessary x-rays based upon review of your dental history, a dental examination, samples and symptoms, your age, and risk of disease.
The price for Diital X-rays may vary according to what is going on in your mouth and what needs to be examined. If you only need Digital X-Rays for a sinle tooth prices may range between $40 -$ 50. If you need a whole set of Digital X-rays for a full mouth examination, it may cost around $150.
Digital x-rays produce significantly lower levels of radiation compared to traditional dental x-rays. Not only are digital x-rays better for patient health and safety, they are faster and more comfortable to take, which reduces your time in the dental office. Although digital radiographs produce a low level of radiation and are considered very safe, dentists still take necessary precautions to limit the patient’s exposure to radiation. These precautions include only taking those x-rays that are necessary, and wearing lead apron shields to protect the body.
