Digital Dental X-rays for Comfortable and Instant Diagnostics

At Mint Dental in Meridian, Idaho, our patients are more than patients — we treat them with the utmost care and the most advanced dental technology to ensure the best quality care possible. Our advanced dental technology makes dental visits faster, safer, and more comfortable. Our dental team uses digital X-rays to improve diagnostic outcomes. While you may be apprehensive about X-rays, our digital X-rays emit 70% less radiation than traditional X-rays, making your treatment safer.

Digital X-rays for all-rounded dental exams

Using dental X-rays as part of your oral care is essential. During your routine exams, your dentist can visually identify several issues, but a dental X-ray reveals dental problems that are not visible to the naked eye. Early detection results in a better treatment outcome, which helps patients to avoid invasive and costly dental treatments.

Dr. Kevin Pulsipher uses digital X-rays to access highly detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. We then use these images to customize a treatment plan that meets your dental needs. For instance, panoramic X-rays provide a complete picture of your mouth, including the upper and lower jaws, teeth, and sinuses. These images help visualize how parts of your mouth work. If any anomalies are picked out, we recommend corrective care before the problem becomes more extensive and painful.

Benefits of digital dental X-rays

Gone are the days when dental X-rays were processed using chemicals in a dark room. Thanks to advanced technology, digital X-rays have quickly phased out conventional films — for a good reason. Digital radiographs offer many benefits, including:

  • Emitting little radiation
  • Better image quality — clear and detailed
  • Results are almost instant
  • Decreased time on the dental chair
  • Digital archiving is less cumbersome and easier to access
  • Easier transfer of images
  • Environment-friendly — no use of chemicals, unlike traditional dental films

Want to find out how digital radiographs can improve your dental experience?
