For generations, the only way for dentists to take x-rays was with cumbersome equipment. These large x-ray devices, though, expose patients to radiation and take images that have to be developed with hazardous chemicals.

That’s why, at Dr. Rodgers’ Dunwoody office, we’re using digital radiography instead. With digital radiography, we can deliver safer, patient-centered care that’s also better for our team as a whole and the planet as well.

The Benefits of Digital Radiography

One of the primary benefits of digital radiography is that it exposes patients to as much as 90% less radiation. What’s more, the images can be taken with just a single sensor, instead of one negative after the other, as with traditional radiography. That makes the whole process safer and more comfortable for patients overall.

But patients aren’t the only ones who benefit from what digital radiography has to offer. Because the images captured by digital radiography can be viewed immediately on a chairside monitor, there’s nothing to develop. That means our team can avoid those hazardous chemicals that are so harmful for the environmental and, potentially, us. Instead, Dr. Rodgers and our team can spend more time helping you understand your oral health and the care you need.

X-rays with digital radiography are a standard part of every regular visit with Dr. Rodgers. Call us today to learn more about this revolutionary technology or to schedule your next appointment with us. Our Dunwoody office serves patients from Roswell, Norcross, and surrounding areas.
