Digital X-Rays
Digital X-Rays at Wesley Dentistry
When examining your mouth and planning your treatments, Dr. Zachary Wesley uses digital X-rays to look closely at your teeth and their supporting structures. Digital X-rays enable our dentist to see dental problems in great detail, and to diagnose things like tooth decay in the earliest stages of development.

Why Are Digital Dental X-Rays Important?
Digital X-rays are one of the advanced diagnostic tools we use to provide you with the best possible care. Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental X-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable and more convenient than ever before. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays and require the use of no chemicals for developing the images. Our dentist can then instantly view the high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care.
