Digital X-Rays Chula Vista

Digital x-rays to examine your teeth use digital x-ray sensors instead of traditional photographic film and are probably the most important advance in x-ray technology of the last decade. Digital sensors receive x-rays then transfer the images to a computer where they can be viewed and manipulated like any other digital image.

This kind of x-ray offers many advantages over traditional x-rays for dentists and patients:

• less radiation exposure is needed to create images of similar contrast
• images are ready more quickly, often in just minutes
• images can be enhanced and zoomed in on for better diagnostics and easier explanation
• images can be shared electronically allowing for simpler referrals, sharing with other health providers, and insurance claims

All of these contribute to better care offered by Dr. Pham and his team.
