Using digital x-rays, we can efficiently capture images of each tooth while replacing the traditional film used in conventional X-rays. This technology conveniently eliminates the need for developing or chemical processing of the images. Instead, they appear instantly on a computer screen as each scan is completed so that they can be showcased within minutes!
