Digital X-Rays
Watson Dental Care uses digital X-Ray technology to provide more accurate diagnoses. The process of digitally capturing an image is much faster, safer and more comfortable for the patient.
How They Work
We place a small sensor in your mouth. The sensor is connected to a computer by a thin wire. Next, an X-ray beam is sent through your teeth and into the sensor, which records the image of your teeth and sends it to the computer. The sensor can then be repositioned to photograph other sections of your teeth.
Why Digital X-Rays are Better
The digital dental X-ray system is more sensitive than dental X-ray film systems, so your exposure to X-rays is cut by as much as 60 percent. The large, color-enhanced images let you see what Dr. Watson sees, so it’s easier for you to understand how we will treat your teeth. Your fees don’t include payment for photo chemicals, film, processing or film storage. Also, used photo chemicals and film are not polluting the environment. Your dental checkups take less time, and it is fun to watch this system work!
