Digital Imaging
Dr. Uyesugi chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. They enable us to detect cavities in-between your teeth, determine bone level, and health of the bone. We can also use them to examine the roots and nerves of teeth, and diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assessing damage when trauma occurs.
Digital X-Rays:
Digital X-rays offer more precision, since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays results in 1/6th the radiation exposure to cut your radiation exposure by 80 percent.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Uyesugi utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about half that of when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.
The advantages of digital imaging – enables us to not only can we store patient images, but also enables us to we can also quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies.
