Digital X-Rays
We often make X-rays part of your visit to Advocate Dental of Palatine. Our dentists and team can learn a great deal about your oral health, and they can use this information to make diagnoses and create treatment options. At our office, we use digital X-rays in Palatine, Illinois, which are safer and more comfortable than traditional X-rays. To schedule your appointment with Dr. George Skoog, call our office at 847-359-8732 and speak with a member of our team.
Digital X-rays are one of the advanced diagnostic tools we use to provide you with the best possible care. Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental X-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable and more convenient than ever before. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film.
Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays and require the use of no chemicals for developing the images. Our dentists can then instantly view the high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care. Our team is able to use digital radiography to identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:
- Decay in between teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts and abscesses
- Fractures in existing fillings
- Tumors
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Bone loss
Digital dental X-rays are used to plan many kinds of dental treatment, such as oral surgery procedures, root canal treatment, dental implants, orthodontics and more. To learn more about digital radiography and how we use X-rays at our office, we welcome you to call or visit us soon.
Patient Reviews
Dr. Prasad has really changed the way I feel about going to the Dentist. You are always making sure that I am comfortable. I went years without going to the Dentist when I was younger, and you definitely made me comfortable. You are kind and have great chair side manners. I even recommended my mom, my husband, and my kids. Keep doing what you are doing!
I have major anxiety about coming to dental visits. Dr. Prasad has been the only Dentist that puts me at ease. She is very patient and listens to her clients. Highly recommend!
I have been seeing Dr. Prasad for 15+ years and I’ve never been disappointed with the service or professionalism. I actually enjoy coming to see her. My wife has been a patient for 15+ years as well. Definitely my favorite Dentist Ever!!
