As a leading dentist known for excellent patient care, Dr. Solomon puts the well-being, safety, and health of every patient as his first priority. Thus, his office offers the latest, state-of-the-art digital x-ray technology, which is faster, clearer, and emits 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. By using digital x-rays, Dr. Solomon is able to thoroughly and precisely examine any problems with the teeth and surrounding tissues and bone that are not apparent during a regular examination.

What is the difference between a digital x-ray vs. a traditional x-ray?

Dr. Solomon does not take any risks with the health of his patients. Thus, he utilizes the safest digital x-ray technology that emits 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. In fact, the amount of radiation you would be exposed to during a set of bitewing x-rays is only a miniscule fraction of the amount of radiation you would be exposed to during a plane flight from New York to Los Angeles.

Other than improved safety, digital x-rays also allow a better and more accurate diagnosis. Digital x-rays allow the dentist to zoom in on areas of interest to allow for a more detailed and comprehensive evaluation. As a result, it is easier for any problems to be caught early on. Moreover, since digital x-ray images are processed by a computer, they are available for immediate viewing. Conventional x-ray films take several minutes to process. In addition, digital x-rays can be conveniently printed, copied, or transferred electronically to insurance companies because they are stored in the computer.

In addition, digital x-rays are more comfortable for patients. To take a digital x-ray, a small electronic sensor is placed into the patient’s mouth. Conversely, to take a conventional x-ray, the patient must bite down on uncomfortable, sharp sheets of film.

Digital x-rays also do not use any of the hazardous chemicals used to process traditional x-ray. Thus, digital x-rays are beneficial not only the patients, but also the environment and the health of office employees.
