While many dental issues can be diagnosed with a visual exam, dentists cannot always see what is happening beneath your protective tooth enamel, between your teeth, or below your gumline. Digital dental x-rays make this possible and allow us to make an earlier diagnosis, potentially saving you time and money by allowing us to treat conditions before they become critical or painful.
By offering digital dental x-rays in Cold Spring, we have significantly improved the safety of the care we provide. Digital dental x-rays emit up to 80 percent less radiation than traditional x-rays and give us instant access to high-resolution images for proper diagnosis of conditions such as bone loss, decay, and infection.
If you have questions about the necessity or safety of dental x-rays, we encourage you to call or ask at your next appointment.
