Digital X-rays reduce radiation by 90% of a conventional radiograph.
X-rays are important tools in dental treatment and diagnosis. Today, at Mareeba Dental Centre we use Digital X-rays within our surgery to provide maximum benefits to our patients. We no longer need films and chemicals; we use a digital sensor instead.
But why are Digital X-rays so important? Digital X-rays provide many advantages to patients, including;
Less radiation for you the patient
No chemicals for the environment
Less risk for all team members from radiation
Easier administration of images
Software allows us to manipulate images to diagnose better
Costs you, the patient less
MUCH quicker - can be less than 0.2 seconds wait compared with 5-7 minutes with film!
Digital X-rays enable us to best care for your dental health needs and provide the optimal dental treatment.
Our practice has had this technology since 2002 and in December of 2006 we have purchased an OPG machine. This allows us to scan your mouth for a full mouth x ray of the teeth and bony supporting structures. Previously this technology was only available in Cairns , and this has vastly improved the quality and convenience of care we can now offer.
