The best diagnostic tool in any dental office is the x-ray machine. Dentists have long relied on x-rays to diagnose internal issues with teeth and make appropriate treatment recommendations. Dentistry has come a long way, and one of the tools that have seen a significant improvement over time is the x-ray machine. Now, digital x-rays make diagnosing the different issues going on with patients teeth much more accurate. They allow dentists to prescribe treatments that will resolve the problems their patients are facing more effectively. At the office of Dr. Paul Graf in Spring, TX, our x-ray work ensures that you get a precise diagnosis and the right treatment each time.
The digital x-ray is just like the regular x-ray in that it is used as a diagnostic device. Our goal with digital x-rays is to provide you with the information needed to ensure that you make well-informed decisions about your dental treatment. When x-rays are taken at his practice, Dr. Graf analyzes them in depth. To the eye of someone who is not well-versed in reading x-rays, everything in a patient’s mouth could look normal but a dentist, who reads x-rays on a daily basis, can see exactly what a patient’s problem areas are. Thanks to the x-rays being digitized, it is easy to blow up the x-rays and really take a look at what is going on inside patients’ teeth.
Digital x-rays are often performed when you come to the dentist office. X-rays are critical because they give the dentist and hygienist a view into the health of each patient’s teeth. Many times, dentist offices are retrofitted to make the existing equipment work on a digital format.
