Sugar Family Dental offers digital radiography as a modern and advanced imaging technology for diagnostic purposes. Digital radiography, also known as digital X-rays, involves using digital sensors to capture high-resolution images of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding oral structures.

The process of digital radiography at Sugar Family Dental involves the following steps:

1. Image Capture: The patient's mouth is positioned, and a digital sensor or electronic film is placed inside the mouth or positioned outside the mouth, depending on the type of X-ray being taken.
2. X-ray Exposure: The X-ray machine  captures images of the teeth and jawbone.
3. Image Processing: The captured X-ray images are instantly processed and displayed on a computer monitor. The dentist can view the images in real-time, adjust settings for optimal clarity, and zoom in for detailed examination.
4. Diagnostic Evaluation: The dentist analyzes the digital X-ray images to assess the health of teeth, detect cavities, evaluate bone density and structure, identify infections or abnormalities, and plan treatments accurately.

Digital radiography offers several advantages over traditional film X-rays, including:

• Reduced Radiation Exposure: Digital X-rays require up to 90% less radiation than conventional film X-rays, making them safer for patients.
• Immediate Results: Digital images are available instantly, allowing for quick diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Enhanced Image Quality: Digital X-rays provide high-resolution images with better clarity and detail, improving diagnostic accuracy.
• Environmentally Friendly: Digital radiography eliminates the need for film processing chemicals, reducing environmental impact.

Sugar Family Dental utilizes digital radiography to provide patients with precise and efficient diagnostic imaging, contributing to improved dental care outcomes and patient safety.
