Digital X-Rays Reviews
WHAT ARE DIGITAL X-RAYS?
Digital X-rays, also known as radiographs, are an integral part of your dental examination. They provide a detailed and in-depth view of your oral health. Dr. Jeffrey Weller, our experienced dentist, relies on these X-rays to detect concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye.
By revealing the inner workings of your teeth, jawbone, and gums, digital X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool. They enable us to identify various oral health conditions, such as decay, cavities, abscesses, cysts, bone loss, and impactions. Detecting these issues in their early stages opens the door to more effective and less invasive treatment options. In both our Chicago and Hinsdale offices, X-rays are a cornerstone of our dental exams, ensuring that Dr. Weller can provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs
AM I A CANDIDATE?
For the majority of our patients, X-rays are a standard inclusion in your dental examination. Digital X-rays may be conducted as part of a preventive dental treatment plan or in response to concerns about oral discomfort. It's worth noting that digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, prioritizing your safety. While they are generally safe for all patients, we exercise extra caution with our female patients who are breastfeeding or may be pregnant. We recommend discussing your situation with Dr. Weller at the outset of your appointment to ensure your well-being.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Digital imaging is typically performed at the beginning of your dental exam and usually takes only 5 to 10 minutes. During your initial visit, most patients will receive a full series of X-rays to comprehensively cover all necessary areas. Once the X-rays are completed, they are promptly uploaded, allowing you and Dr. Weller to review and discuss any areas of concern and treatment options as needed.
WHAT IS THE FOLLOW-UP?
Regular digital imaging is an essential part of your dental examination. For more comprehensive assessments, a full-mouth set may be taken, providing a more in-depth view of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Your digital images are securely stored with your oral health file at Weller Dental, enabling Dr. Weller to track trends and address emerging issues. A full series of digital images is typically taken every three years, with bitewing cavity-detecting X-rays updated every 12 months.
