Panoramic and
Digital X-rays

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

• Enhanced Image Quality

Digital X-rays provide a clearer and more magnified view compared to traditional film X-rays. This allows Dr. Tasic to detect even the smallest dental problems, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, and hidden infections.

• Reduced Radiation Exposure

Digital X-rays significantly reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional X-rays. This ensures your safety and comfort during the procedure.

• Environmental Benefits

Digital X-rays eliminate the need for harsh chemicals used in processing traditional film X-rays, reducing environmental impact.

• Instant Results

Digital X-rays are displayed on a computer screen immediately, allowing Dr. Tasic to discuss your treatment plan with you right away.

• Easy Storage and Transmission

Digital X-rays can be easily stored electronically and shared with specialists if needed.

When Are Digital X-Rays Needed?
Digital X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool in dentistry, providing valuable information about your oral health. Here are some common reasons why we might recommend digital X-rays:

• Routine Dental Checkups

Regular X-rays help monitor the overall health of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. They can detect early signs of cavities, bone loss, or other potential issues.

• Detecting Cavities and Tooth Decay

Digital X-rays can reveal cavities between teeth, under fillings, or below the gumline, where they might be difficult to spot during a visual examination.

• Evaluating Gum Disease

X-rays can assess the bone supporting your teeth, helping to diagnose gum disease (periodontal disease) in its early stages.

• Examining Tooth Roots and Impacted Teeth

Digital X-rays provide detailed images of tooth roots, allowing Dr. Tasic to evaluate their condition and plan treatments like root canals or extractions. They can also help identify impacted wisdom teeth or other hidden dental issues.

• Planning Dental Treatments

Before procedures like dental implants, crowns, or bridges, X-rays help determine the optimal treatment plan and ensure a successful outcome.

• Monitoring Orthodontic Treatment

For patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, digital X-rays track tooth movement and help assess treatment progress.

• Identifying Jawbone Issues

X-rays can help diagnose conditions like bone loss, cysts, or tumours in the jawbone.
