Digital Imaging
Dr. Hirschfield chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and health of bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Hirschfield utilizes digital imaging technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is significantly less when compared to traditional radiographs. The advantages of digital imaging enables us to not only store patient images, but also enables us to quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies. Viewing the image on a computer monitor allows the patient to see a magnified image of the x-ray and better understand their treatment needs.
