Digital x-rays are quickly becoming adopted by a large portion of the dental industry. A digital x-ray permits the dentist to take an image of the tooth or teeth and put it into an imaging program. Within this imaging program, there are a number of tools that will enable the dentist to take a really close view at the teeth and surrounding structures with incredible precision. As a benefit to the patient, the digital x-ray also provides less radiation than a conventional x-ray.
