Digital X-Rays

Dental x-rays are an essential diagnostic tool for Dr. Schramm to detect damage and disease during your routine examination. These x-rays are also needed to complete certain restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. For new patients, Dr. Schramm x-rays are used to determine the present status of your oral health and develop a baseline to help identify any changes that may occur in the future. Instead of traditional film x-rays, Schramm Dentistry utilizes digital x-rays, the high-tech replacement which requires significantly less radiation exposure (up to 90% less radiation). Digital x-ray tools and techniques are designed to limit your exposure to radiation. Every precaution is taken to ensure that your radiation exposure is As Low As Reasonable Achievable (ALARA principle). Digital x-rays also shorten your dental appointment time, make it easier to transfer your dental records, and allow visual adjustments to make cavity and decay detection faster. With new digital x-ray technology, you can have peace of mind knowing that your dental treatment will be as safe and efficient as possible.
