Digital x-rays are quickly becoming adopted by a large percentage of the dental industry. A digital x-ray allows the dentist to take an image of the tooth or teeth and put it into an imaging program. Within this imaging program, there are a number of tools that will allow the dentist to take a very close look at the teeth and surrounding structures with amazing accuracy. As a benefit to the patient, the digital x-ray also provides nearly 80% less radiation than a standard x-ray. This is due to the fact that the digital version of the x-ray is much more sensitive to this radiation and has been specifically designed with the patient in mind.
At Rittenhouse Dentistry Dr. Gardner is committed to patient safety with the newest and safest digital x-ray technology. We use the Nomad Handheld X-ray system which employs substantially less radiation than traditional wall mounted units. We also use the latest Dentimax digital sensor that needs only a fraction of exposure time compared to traditional film.
Constant Potential Performance of Nomad
The high-frequency, constant potential x-ray generator provides constant radiation output. This improves image quality while reducing the skin dose to the patient relative to traditional half-wave (AC) generators
