Digital X-Rays

To make certain that you are safe while we diagnose and treat your oral health concerns, our dentist, Dr. Farhad Sharifi, and our team use digital X-rays, which produce far less radiation than traditional X-rays. If you would like to learn more about our digital X-rays in Oceanside, California, please call North Coast Dental Excellence today at 760-941-1414 for more information.

Digital X-rays are a type of dental radiography that uses digital technology instead of traditional film. They offer many benefits over traditional film X-rays, including lower radiation exposure, higher image quality, and the ability to instantly view and share digital images.

Digital X-rays are an important tool for diagnosing dental problems early. They can help your dentist detect cavities, infections and other issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. They are also useful for planning procedures and for monitoring the progress of dental treatments.

If you are scheduled for a digital X-ray, you can expect the procedure to be quick and simple to complete. A small sensor will be placed in your mouth, and you will be asked to bite down on it while the X-ray machine takes pictures. The digital images will be instantly available for our dentist to view on a nearby computer screen.

Benefits of digital X-rays include:

  • Lower radiation exposure: Digital X-rays emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
  • Higher image quality: Digital images are clearer and more detailed than film X-rays, making it easier for your dentist to detect dental problems.
  • Instant results: There is no need to develop film X-rays, so digital X-rays can be viewed immediately on a computer screen. This allows our dentist to make a diagnosis and start treatment right away.
  • Ability to share images: Digital images can be easily shared with other dental professionals, which can be helpful if you need to see a specialist.

Digital X-rays are a safe and effective way to maintain good oral health. If you have any concerns about the procedure, be sure to discuss them with your dentist ahead of time. Call us today to schedule an appointment!
