Digital X-Ray

Deer Valley Dental Care uses the latest in state-of-the-art techniques to ensure your health and safety.

We use a process called Digital Radiography, or Digital X-Ray, to take pictures inside your mouth. This method of taking x-rays is done instantly via a computerized x-ray system. Unlike conventional x-rays, you no longer have to bite down and hold still on rigid film plates. Now, we simply position a tiny digital sensor inside your mouth and take the picture.

By using this revolutionary technology, your exposure to radiation is reduced by 90% compared to conventional x-ray equipment! It also allows us to see in greater detail any areas of periodontal disease, unerupted teeth, abnormal growths and the overall condition of your mouth.

Using a direct connection to our computer equipment is all it takes, so we don't have the previous waiting time for x-rays to develop. With these digital pictures, we can instantly lighten, darken, or view your teeth as a 3-dimensional image on the computer screen. Therefore, Digital X-ray speeds up diagnosis time for your dentist ... and gets you on your way faster!

Deer Valley Dental Care was one of the first Dental offices in South Calgary to implement the use of Digital X-ray machines.
