Our dental digital X-ray system can take a picture of your teeth, then within minutes it
can be displayed to you on a computer monitor. You no longer have to sit there for fifteen minutes and wait for X-ray film
to develop. Your on-screen picture will look like any typical dental X-ray image but much bigger. It operates much like a
traditional x-ray system. We place a small, flat sensor in your mouth, an X-ray beam is sent through your teeth and into the
sensor, which records the image of your teeth. Because the dental Digital X-ray system is more sensitive than dental X-ray
film systems, your exposure to X rays is cut as much as 90 percent.

What Are Dental Implants?
Dental
implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they
allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.
How do Dental Implants Work?
Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth. dentures and bridges mounted to
implants won't slip or shift in your mouth-an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps
the dentures and bridges - as well as individual crowns placed over implants - feel more natural than conventional bridges
or dentures.
For some people, ordinary bridges and dentures are simply not comfortable or even possible, due to
sore spots, poor ridges or gagging. In addition, ordinary bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left
by the missing tooth. An advantage of implants is that no adjacent teeth need to be prepared or ground down to hold your new
replacement tooth/teeth in place.
