In the past, taking x-rays with a traditional x-ray machine meant using multiple sensors to capture all the images a dentist might need to look closely at a patient’s smile. It also meant using harsh chemicals to expose those images, not to mention having the extra physical space to keep them for future reference or for referrals.

Taking x-rays with Dexis Digital Imaging, on the other hand, is a completely different experience. With Dexis, there’s no need for harsh chemicals, extra storage space, and it’s safer for patients, too.

How Do X-Rays with Dexis Work?

With Dexis Digital Imaging, Dr. Khalil and Dr. Giordano of Oakton Dentistry by Design can easily take detailed images of a patient’s smile with just one sensor, exposing him or her to 90% less radiation in the process. And, instead of having to develop those images with harsh chemicals, we can just bring them up chairside, on a screen that you and Dr. Khalil or Dr. Giordano can look at together.

This doesn’t just make it easier for patients to see their X-rays, though—it makes it easier to explain what kind of care might be needed. That means more time can be spent helping patients understand their options, with less waiting time in our office. And for us, it means never needing harsh chemicals or extra storage space.
