Digital x-rays offer a high-resolution image of your entire mouth with a 50% reduction in radiation over traditional film x-rays used by other dentists.

MoreA new recommendation from the American Dental Association (ADA) states that lead aprons and thyroid collars are no longer necessary during dental X-rays. Advances in imaging technology have significantly reduced radiation exposure, making these protective measures obsolete. The updated guidelines aim to enhance patient safety by reducing unnecessary procedures.
