Dental X-rays go digital in Beverly Hills
Nov 21st, 2009 by shellem
For Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Koroush Maddahi, creating a beautiful smile starts with thorough dental exam. “When I work with my patients I look at many different aspects of their teeth, so an in-depth exam is essential. Whether I am performing full mouth reconstuction, a cosmetic dental procedure like whitening or just a routine check-up the goal is a healthy, natural-looking smile.”
Dr. Maddahi uses a number of advanced dental tools to complete his procedures and exams including digital x-rays. Digital x-rays are fast. It only takes a mater of seconds for a digital x-ray to be taken then transferred to the computer screen. Once the digital image is on the screen is can be examined closely. Dr. Maddahi is able to magnify and adjust the image to thoroughly study any dental issues. Plus digital x-rays are safer, with 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays.
Another examination tool that is used at the office is an IntraOral Camera. This small camera is about the size of a pen and is used to examine and magnify the patient’s teeth and gums. The images can be seen on a screen chair-side during the exam. For a quick video on IntraOral cameras, click here.
