Many dental offices today only offer digital x-ray for patients. Not only does this reduce liability for the dentist, but it also improves the patient experience. More specifically, digital dental x-rays are cheaper, quicker, clearer, and safer than normal radiography.
Digital x-rays allow easier storage of your oral health records. Unlike traditional x-ray images, digital ones are kept in a computer system, which has virtually unlimited storage space. That makes it easier to transfer from one dentist to the next without losing any of your medical data.
