Digital X-Ray (Radiographs)
Hiddenbrook Dental offers all digital x-rays. There are many benefits to our digital system. Most importantly, digital x-ray significantly reduces the amount of radiation exposure as compared to a traditional film x-ray. Digital x-rays are environmentally friendly as all the images are loaded into our secure imaging software, reducing the need for film and film disposal. Digital x-rays are processed as soon as they are taken, no waiting for development of the film. Finally, our machines are able to capture a greater quality image and our software allows us the ability to magnify up to 300x. With the capabilities to manipulate the contrast levels of the x-ray, Dr. Groom is able to detect tooth abnormalities not seen in a traditional film x-ray. This advantage aids in early tooth decay detection, allowing time for monitoring and non-invasive treatments.
