X-Rays

A diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of teeth, tissues, and bone onto film.

Digital X-Rays

A computer technology whereby radiographs are seen immediately after exposure on the
computer screen. No developing or waiting is necessary. They can be magnified, colorized, and have their density manipulated for greater information. The radiation exposure necessary is about 90 percent less than that of conventional dental radiographs, which are already quite low.
