Digital X-Rays in Austin, TX
Here at our Austin dental office, we use digital x-rays for a variety of our treatments. These x-rays are essential in helping us receive information about your gums, teeth, and jawbone that we may not be able to see during a regular exam. We typically use x-rays for most of our treatments during your examination to ensure we don’t miss anything.
We pride ourselves in having the latest technology in order to provide the best care for our patients.
Digital X-Rays are an important diagnostic tool in dentistry. Because our office is committed to using the latest and best technology, we use Digital rather than traditional radiography. This allows Goehring Dental to view, enlarge, and store images of your teeth and mouth right away. They also reduce exposure to radiation by up to 90% of traditional x-rays.
Other benefits of digital include the elimination of the darkroom, processing chemicals, and the errors that can be associated with improper maintenance. We also have the ability to view the image more quickly, enhance it, and share it digitally with others if necessary.

Digital x-rays allow us to see potential problems such as:
