Dental x-rays in Wilmington, DE play an invaluable role in the diagnosis of dental problems. Many patients are concerned about exposure to X-ray radiation. In our dental office we have effectlively eliminated this worry by using digital x-rays or Computed Dental Radiography (CDR.) CDR requires up to 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays.

Digital X-Rays Are Covered by Insurance

In addition, CDR images can be magnified 300x their normal size to enhance the diagnosis. CDR images can also be manipulated to correct color contrast. CDR x-rays are covered under your basic benefits, so there is no reduction in your insurance benefits.
