City of Leeds dentists offer digital Xrays for best results

4561731_blogAmong the many advances in dentistry one of the most stunning has been the advent of digital Xrays. When examining teeth, diagnosing any problems and then formulating a solution it is vital that dentists have an efficient way of visualising the mouth. By increasing the speed and accuracy of these processes treatment can be offered in a fraction of the time previously used.

This is where digital Xrays are so valuable. Conventional Xrays offered only a flat, 2D view of the subject but their digital version gives dentists the chance to see the mouth in 3D. The need for repeated Xrays to get different angles on the subject is done away with as digital Xrays allow dentists to view every angle by taking just one 3D image that can be saved on cutting edge computer equipment.

The information from digital Xrays is often used in CEREC processes where the images are used to create new crowns, veneers and underlays and onlays. These procedures are now able to take place in astonishingly short amounts of time, sometimes just six minutes as the images are sent to online milling machines which construct new teeth from the digital Xray data. This is especially valuable for those patients who are nervous about visiting the dentist as it cuts down the time spent in the chair and wearing impractical temporary replacements.

Despite the fact that it is such cutting-edge technology, digital Xrays can actually reduce the cost of dentistry as lab fees are essentially eliminated by the speed of the new processes and repeated Xrays need not be taken. The possibilities are endless for cosmetic dentistry now that digital Xrays are replaced traditional Xrays. Contact your City of Leeds dentist today to find out more about these new advances.
