Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays

The Best Technology At Our Philadelphia Dental Office

Always using the latest technology, our Philadelphia dental practice features a Panoramic digital X-ray machine that quickly and comfortably takes images of your entire mouth.

Not only is this x-ray more comfortable for patients, but it gives Dr. Siegel a broad overview of the entire mouth showing the teeth, upper and lower jawbone, sinuses, and other tissues of the head and neck – all in one X-ray.

We feature digital x-rays to reduce the radiation that you receive by 90%, as well as enlarging the x-ray to the size of a computer screen in order to recognize problems before they become more advanced.

Otherwise hidden or deep cavities will show up as well as gum disease.

The Panoramic X-Ray is also used for evaluating patients:

• With past or present TMJ or jaw joint problems
• Requiring full or partial removable dentures, dental implants or braces
• Who may have a tumor in the jaw
• Who have impacted teeth (especially wisdom teeth) or have had any recent trauma to the face or teeth (e.g. can help identify a fractured jaw)
• Who cannot tolerate other types of films (severe gaggers)

Safer X-Rays Than Ever Before

We also feature the Tru-Align system to further minimize radiation exposure during x-rays to the least amount possible while actually improving upon accuracy of our x-rays. Learn more on the Tru-Align site.
