Digital X-rays

Dr. Cingel carefully determined when X-rays (radiographs) are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see things we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and health of bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. In our office, the exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Cingel utilizes digital imaging technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 80 percent less 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 enable us to not only store patient images, but also enable us to quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies.

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 one-third the radiation exposure to you.
