Zeroing in on digital radiographs to support a safe experience, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment
We are “advanced” in more than just name. Led by Drs. Chitra Tiruveedula and Joseph C. Yang, Advanced Dental of Aliso Viejo, California, uses state-of-the-art therapeutic technologies and cutting-edge diagnostic tools, including digital radiographs or digital dental x-rays.
Zeroing in on X-rays
Visual examinations are limiting. There is only so much that can be seen unaided, with just the human eyes alone. For this reason, dentists like Drs. Tiruveedula and Yang use x-ray technologies or radiography to create images of what the eyes cannot see. Clear pictures of hard-to-see or very small areas of the mouth and associated structures support a precise diagnosis. With the correct diagnosis, we can recommend treatments that work to resolve pain and other symptoms in the short term, as well as the underlying source of such symptoms over the long run.
“Why” choose digital X-rays
Every technology at our office has been carefully selected for its effectiveness, safety, and comfort. There are many advantages associated with digital vs. conventional film-based x-rays.
These include:
- Minimal radiation exposure – With digital x-rays, the patient’s exposure to radiation is significantly lower when compared to traditional x-rays. In fact, it’s estimated that digital radiography emits ~ 80% less radiation on average than film radiographs.
- Instant gratification results — With traditional x-rays, film had to be developed to render the images, which can take several minutes. With digital x-rays, the images are immediately available for analysis and viewing on a computer monitor.
- Enhanced images—Digital radiographs provide clear and detailed images that can be magnified and enhanced to support an accurate diagnosis, which is essential to effective treatment. To effectively treat, we must accurately understand the source of your symptoms/condition.
- A sustainable solution – Digital x-rays are not only patient-friendly but also planet-friendly! There is no need for the chemicals that are used to develop traditional x-ray films. So, it is a more sustainable and environmentally conscious alternative.
- Smart and secure storage and retrieval—Digital images can be saved on our computers and linked with a patient’s electronic file to make them easy to store and access for later use.
