Digital X-Rays

To improve our patients' care we've invested in a new way of looking at your teeth-a procedure that's fast and incredibly precise - digital x-rays. What's even more amazing is that we immediately receive an image that is large, clear, and accurate, right next to your chair. This allows for better dental evaluations and treatment discussions between you and Dr. Tozer. Digital x-ray technology allows us to provide a much higher level of care.

Digital x-rays use 50-90% less radiation than old-fashioned x-rays and eliminates dark room chemicals, which is much better for the environment. The highly detailed image of your teeth on our computer screen can be rotated, magnified, adjusted for contrast, and even color-coded for educational purposes. We can store your x-rays on our computer, saving paper. For insurance purposes, referrals or patient education, it can be accurately reproduced any number of times.
