Overview
DIGITAL X-RAYS
Digital X-rays enhance your comfort and our ability to provide top-quality care; most importantly, however, they significantly reduce radiation exposure, making the process safer for you. The speed at which we process digital X-rays also results in less waiting time and a more efficient appointment.
The quality of digital X-rays results in highly detailed images that enable us to diagnose and treat dental issues with greater accuracy. This means we can detect even the smallest concerns, leading to earlier intervention and better outcomes for your oral health. Our dentist can easily share the images with you so that you can see what he sees and better understand your treatment needs.
We can store your X-rays securely and share them with other dental professionals for comprehensive treatment planning when needed. And since we don’t need to use harsh chemicals for processing, digital X-rays are more environmentally friendly.
Digital Records
Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras are important in helping us provide high-quality, personalized dentistry. They also provide an opportunity for you to engage more in your dental care because the real-time, high-resolution images captured by the camera let you see exactly what our dentist sees. Visualizing the problem helps you better understand why we recommend treatment, fosters trust, and empowers you to make confident, informed decisions about your oral health.
The high level of detail Dr. Matchett sees with intraoral images enables him to identify and diagnose dental concerns more precisely. Early detection of issues such as cavities and gum disease allows him to recommend more conservative and effective treatment and preserve more healthy tooth structure.
Because we store your intraoral images in your patient record, we can easily retrieve them to track treatment progress and conditions. The images also help with dental insurance as we can submit them as evidence to support claims to expedite the approval process and ensure you receive the coverage you deserve.
