We are pleased to announce a significant improvement in your dental care and diagnostic technology.

Computed Dental Radiography
In our continuing efforts to provide you with the highest quality care, we are among the first general dental practices in the area trained and equipped to offer this new service. Computed Dental Radiography, or CDR, is a better alternative to the traditional X-ray machine.

Using computer technology, it enables us to generate large, sharp, radiographic images of your teeth within seconds while exposing you to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film X-rays. For our staff, CDR eliminates contact with chemicals used in the processing of traditional X-rays, as well as the issue of disposal of these chemicals -- a plus for the environment

How it works
A sterile sensor is placed in your mouth which works much like a miniature video camera, transmitting an image to a computer in one to two seconds. No waiting in the chair for film to be processed! Once the image is on the computer screen it can be magnified for more precise viewing, highlighted in color, stored on disk, or printed out for you if you want to take copies home or need them for insurance purposes. Most importantly, imaging allows us to show you problem areas and discuss treatment.

Summary
CDR is safer than X-rays, faster, and results in better images, making it a more effective diagnostic tool. CDR is truly a major advancement in the field of dentistry! We look forward to sharing it with you.
