Digital X-Rays in Minneapolis, MN

Advanced Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis

At Isles Dental, we use digital X-ray technology to provide safe, precise, and efficient diagnostic imaging for our patients. Digital X-rays allow Dr. Robert Springer to detect cavities, infections, bone loss, and other oral health concerns with enhanced clarity and minimal radiation exposure.

Early Detection for Better Oral Health

Whether you are coming in for a routine checkup or experiencing dental discomfort, digital X-rays play a vital role in early detection and treatment planning.

Why Are Digital X-Rays Important?

Digital X-rays help identify dental issues that may not be visible during a standard oral exam. They provide detailed images of:

• Cavities and early tooth decay
• Infections and abscesses
• Bone loss due to gum disease
• Impacted or developing teeth
• Fractured or damaged teeth
• TMJ and bite alignment issues

By catching problems early, digital X-rays allow for faster, more effective treatment, helping preserve your long-term oral health.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays offer:

• Lower Radiation Exposure – Up to 90% less radiation than conventional X-rays, making them a safer choice for all patients.
• Higher Image Quality – Provides detailed, high-resolution images for a more accurate diagnosis.
• Instant Results – Images appear immediately on our computer screens, allowing for faster diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Eco-Friendly Technology – No need for chemical processing, reducing environmental impact.
• Easy Storage & Sharing – Digital files can be stored in your electronic dental records and easily shared with specialists if needed.
