Digital X-Rays, featuring Panorex, PlanMeca ProMax, and
Schick Digital Radiology

Digital dental X-rays offer many advantages. Although the risk of radiation damage from normal X-rays is small, digital X-rays limit exposure by up to 90 percent, enhancing your safety significantly. To take a digital X-ray of your teeth, we place a small sensor into your mouth. The X-rays are then instantly transmitted to a computer screen, where your dentist will review them with you. You can see any problems for yourself while reviewing your treatment options together. Digital X-rays help you to be more informed about your own dental health.

Digital Panorex*- As the name suggests, a panoramic x-ray travels in a half circle around your head. Encircling from ear to ear, it produces a complete, two dimensional representation of all your teeth, giving an overall picture of your teeth and jaw bones. By also being digital, it allows Dr. Eltzroth to take a full panoramic radiograph using the same radiation that you have received with two standard (non-digital) X-rays in your
mouth.

*Planmeca ProMax Digital Panorex- The design and operating principles of Planmeca ProMax employ advanced technologies, the latest scientific research, and the requirements of today's maxillo-facial radiology. The unit employs the new SCARA (Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) technology, which enables free formation of imaging geometry.

Computer Imaging

Thinking about having cosmetic dentistry but not sure if you're ready for the change? Computer imaging can give you a "sneak preview" of what you may look like after having the procedure of your choice. Using a digital photo, we can show you what your smile may look like with veneers or after tooth whitening. Being able to see a picture of how your results will most likely look can help you select the procedures that are right for you. Computer imaging is an exciting new tool that helps you have appropriate expectations and makes having cosmetic dentistry even more fun.
