Digital X-rays offer a more efficient, accurate and patient-friendly alternative to traditional film-based radiography. This technology employs digital sensors to capture images of teeth, supporting our dentist and team in making well-informed diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Benefits of Digital X-Rays

- Enhanced Image Quality: Digital X-rays provide sharper, clearer images, aiding Dr. Jai V. Patel, DDS and Dr. Rahil H. Patel, DDS in identifying dental issues with greater accuracy.
- Efficient Storage and Retrieval: Digital images are stored electronically, eliminating the need for physical storage space and facilitating easy retrieval for future reference.
- Eco-Friendly Approach: Digital X-rays eliminate the need for chemical processing, reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional X-ray methods.
Clinical Applications
- Diagnosis: Digital X-rays help detect cavities, periodontal disease and abnormalities not easily visible during a clinical examination.
