Digital X-Rays in Amarillo, TX
Digital x-rays are a fundamental diagnostic tool at Pybus Dental in Amarillo, Texas. They allow Dr. Charles Pybus to see what is happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums, detecting cavities, bone loss, infections, and other conditions that are not visible during a visual exam alone, all with significantly less radiation than traditional film x-rays.
Benefits of Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays use up to 90% less radiation than conventional film x-rays, making them safer for patients of all ages, including children. Images are captured instantly and displayed on a chairside screen so Dr. Pybus can review them with you in real time. Digital images can also be enhanced, enlarged, and shared electronically with specialists when referrals are needed.
When X-Rays Are Needed
Dr. Pybus takes x-rays based on your individual needs rather than on a one-size-fits-all schedule. New patients typically receive a full set of images to establish a baseline. Routine x-rays during check-up visits help track changes over time and catch problems early.
Safety
The radiation dose from digital dental x-rays is extremely low. We follow all recommended safety guidelines and use digital technology specifically because it minimizes exposure while maximizing diagnostic quality.
