Digital X-Rays
Less radiation than film, and you see them straight away.
What it is
Imaging is on site, so the scan and the answer happen in the same visit rather than the same month.
At Post Family Dentistry, we use digital x-rays, which need less radiation than film and appear on the screen while you are still in the chair. Digital X-rays offer numerous benefits over traditional film X-rays, providing safer, faster, and more detailed diagnostic imaging for better care.
