In addition to our digital panorex machine, we are proud to announce that we have recently converted our office to all digital x-rays. With the panorex equipment we can take an x-ray of your entire jaw and surrounding areas with no more radiation than two regular bite wing x-rays. With this picture we can detect cysts, tumors, abscesses, retained teeth, etc. that would otherwise go undiagnosed and untreated until an advanced stage. A panorex is recommended by the ADA to be taken every 3 to 7 years depending on dental history and previous disease and treatment parameters. Dental insurance covers panorexes every 1 to 3 years as a general rule. So please ask us if a panorex is indicated for you.
With the digital x-ray equipment, we have reduced by over 50 percent the amount the radiation exposure required to obtain an x-ray picture of your teeth. With the digital x-rays, we also have reduced our offices' environmental imprint by reducing the chemicals and heavy metals that are used in film-based x-ray systems.
