Digital x-rays are a very useful tool for helping dentists detect, diagnose, and treat dental issues in their patients. At ENFIELD FAMILY DENTAL, they help us find problems like abscesses and cavities. We are proud to offer this piece of dental technology at our dental office near you in ENFIELD, CT.
Also referred to as digital radiography, digital x-rays in ENFIELD, CT give your dentist a look at the condition of the areas underneath your gums.

This makes them faster and easier to access.

While traditional x-rays have been helpful for many years and are a safe method of examining the health of the teeth and gums, digital x-rays offer several advantages. First, they emit a lower amount of radiation, making the process even safer for patients.

Finally, the images can be stored and shared easily, such as with dental specialists, when needed.
You can expect to have digital x-rays taken as part of your dental check-up at ENFIELD FAMILY DENTAL.
