Why do we use Digital radiography And OPG imaging at our clinic?

The value of a good radiograph in the diagnosis and treatment of dental diseases cannot be stressed enough. Most clinics underestimate a radiograph and hence tend to miss many vital clues. 

With the use of state of the art digital radiography systems we now have the opportunity to take radiographs via sensors which are thin and hence comfortable and also which use the minimal possible dosages. We also boast of an in house OPG machine which means a full mouth x-ray can be taken for screening and other diagnostic purposes. 

ADVANTAGES FOR OUR PATIENTS

1.MINIMAL RADIATION:
Digital radiographs (depending on the type) require 4-10 times LESS radiation than conventional.

2.IMMEDIATE VIEWING:
They can be viewed immediately and no processing is required.

3.CONSISTENT IMAGE QUALITY:
Due to the higher dynamic resolution range, as long as the exposure factors are within plus or minus 30%, an image of good quality will be produced. Conventional radiography is far less forgiving.

4.IMAGE ENHANCEMENT:
They can be enhanced and manipulated in order to give the best diagnostic value.

5.STORAGE:
They can be stored for years and emailed to the patient for their records.
