Digital Dental X-Rays Wakefield

As a general dentist and board certified prosthodontist, Dr. Schumacher wants to have a complete picture of your oral health needs. A visual exam provides only part of the necessary information. That’s why digital dental x-rays in Wakefield play an important role in the care we provide. Digital radiography (x-rays) reveals details about your teeth, gums, and underlying oral structures than would be possible to see with a visual exam. Using this information, Dr. Schumacher accurately diagnoses your needs. Detailed X-rays help Dr. Schumacher formulate a more detailed treatment plan.

Other Benefits of Digital Dental X-Rays

Aside from revealing important information about your smile, there are other notable benefits of digital radiography. First, digital radiography is a safer alternative to traditional radiography because it emits 90 percent less radiation. The images captured by digital X-ray don’t have to be developed the way a traditional X-ray would. Instead, we view them instantly on a nearby monitor. Finally, we don’t physically store X-rays. Instead, we simply back them up on our computer for later reference.
