At Harvest Hills Dental Care in East Gwillimbury, near Newmarket, ON, we are committed to utilizing advanced technology to ensure that we can provide safe and accurate diagnoses that lead to effective treatments. X-rays and digital imaging are two important tools because they allow us to see what’s going on in the mouth beyond what is visible with the human eye. With digital x-rays and intra oral cameras, we are able to continue to use these tools without exposing patients to unnecessary radiation.
Conventional x-rays require patients to bite down on a film strip, while technician is taking the images to be printed on film. With digital x-rays, we use a small sensor in the mouth that captures high-res images of the mouth with minimal exposure to radiation. The digital images are easily enlarged and enhanced on the computer screen to allow for accurate review and diagnosis.
Your dentist needs to be able to effectively see inside your mouth in order to provide any dental services, from routine exams to complex restorations. Intraoral cameras make this task much easier. Rather than having to use the tiny, old-fashioned dental mirror, the dentist uses a small camera (about the size of a pen) to see around each tooth. The camera can record these images and transmit them digitally so that they can be reviewed later and shared as needed.
Intraoral cameras allow our dental team to be able to deliver the high level of care that is necessary to help our patients maintain oral health. Some of the benefits include:
Digital X-rays represent a modern approach to X-ray imaging, employing digital sensors in place of conventional photographic film. They provide nearly instant images with greater clarity and less radiation exposure. At our practice, we exclusively use digital dental X-rays to ensure your safety and provide the highest quality insights into your dental health.
Absolutely! Digital X-rays are designed to minimise radiation exposure, making them safe for patients of all ages, even children. Our team prioritises both patient safety and comfort while ensuring you receive the best care possible.
An intraoral camera allows our dental team to capture extremely detailed images of both your teeth and gums. This helps us identify potential issues early and share images with you, making it easier to understand your dental health. Additionally, it is great for creating a collaborative and educational experience during your appointment.
The costs for these advanced technologies can vary depending on your specific dental needs and insurance coverage. The team at Harvest Hills Dental Care is happy to explain any fees upfront and help you maximise your insurance benefits. We work closely with insurance companies, filing claims, and have the experience to help you obtain as much coverage as possible, thereby reducing your out-of-pocket expenses.
Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for digital X-rays as part of routine preventative care, and some might also cover intraoral imaging. Our team can help you understand your specific coverage and file insurance claims, ensuring a seamless and stress-free process.
