Digital Radiographs
New low radiation
digital x-ray center makes dental x-rays fast, easy and safer
than ever!
 |
High Tech, Low Dose
Digital X-rays
give instant x-ray
examination and diagnosis
and require up to
75% less radiation
for the patient |
Low
Dose Digital X-rays are the newest improvement in dental
diagnostic imaging. Now your child can have their dental
x-rays done electronically, almost instantly appearing on
our
computer screen, with up to 75% less radiation. The benefit to
our patients is that you would need eight years of these new
state-of-the-art low dose digital x-rays to
equal one year of
the regular
dental x-rays. The x-rays are
also better because
we can optimize the brightness and contrast, as well as
enlarge them for easier viewing.
These low dose digital x-rays are
just one more example of our commitment to bringing the best
of dentistry to our patients.

New High
Technology Dental X-rays eliminate the need for X-ray films
in your child's mouth for more comfort
Digital
panoramic x-ray shows both the baby teeth in the patient's
mouth as well as the new permanent teeth that are still
developing in the jaw bone under the gumline.
Low dose digital x-ray lets the dentist evaluate the the child
to be sure that the permanent teeth are growing properly.
You can see how
the baby teeth are important for chewing and are holding the
place for the permanent teeth so that they can come in at the
proper time.
(Note: This demonstration panoramic x-ray is typical of a 7-9
year old child)

Introducing a new tool
at Dental Care of Stamford to help us detect the
invisible.....
Diagnodent helps detect dental caries at the
earliest possible stage so that the most appropriate
treatment can be designed for you. More accuracy -- less
guesswork. |

Cross-Sections of a Molar |
|
Measurements from Diagnodent, together with
conventional diagnostic tools and valuable professional
judgment, will help determine whether to monitor suspect
areas over time and treat them with preventive therapy
such as fluoride and sealants, or to restore them with
minimally invasive techniques
(micro-dentistry). |

X-Ray Shows Hidden Decay in the Molar that was
Cross-Sectioned |
 |
Diagnodent is the
exciting result of years of research by leading dentists
and scientists at universities in Switzerland, Scotland
and Germany. |

Cross-section 1 of the molar with
medium cavity
but with no visible opening in the tooth |

Cross-section 4 of the molar showing the
large cavity which is
nearly into the nerve of the tooth but has a barely
visible opening from the groove. |
Cross-section 13 of the molar shows tiny opening from
the pit of the tooth but a 12X
larger cavity underneath the opening.
