What Sets Digital X-Rays Apart?
Digital X-Rays represent a significant leap forward from traditional film x-rays. They use electronic sensors to capture images of your teeth and gums, instantly transmitting them to a computer screen for detailed examination. This method is not only quicker but also reduces exposure to radiation by up to 90% compared to conventional methods. Dr. Bordia emphasizes the importance of minimizing radiation exposure without compromising on diagnostic capabilities.
The Benefits of Utilizing Digital X-Ray Technology
- Reduced Radiation Exposure: One of the most significant advantages, ensuring patient safety.
- Immediate Results: The instantaneous availability of images speeds up the diagnosis process.
- Enhanced Image Quality: Images can be zoomed in and enhanced for a better view of dental structures.
- Eco-Friendly: Since digital x-rays don’t require chemical processing, they are more environmentally friendly.
The Process Behind Digital X-Ray Imaging
The process of obtaining a digital x-ray is quick and comfortable for patients. After positioning the digital sensor in your mouth, our dental team captures the images that are immediately available for review. This immediacy allows Dr. Bordia to discuss findings with you in real-time, enhancing the collaborative nature of your dental care plan.

Prior to your digital x-ray session at Bordia Dental Associates, there’s very little you need to do in terms of preparation. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and removing any jewelry or accessories that could interfere with the imaging process. Our team will guide you through each step, ensuring your experience is as seamless and informative as possible.
