Our Technology

3D and Digital X-Rays

At Littleton Dental we offer digital x-rays for our patients. With rapidly developing technology, conventional dental x-rays are being overtaken by a revolution in digital x-rays. With digital x-rays, images can be acquired instantaneously in the dental office. This process is faster, safer and produces images that are at or above the resolution of traditional film x-rays. These images can be manipulated, enhanced, stored and exchanged for referral and other purposes making them extremely useful and convenient.

In addition to the direct clinical and diagnostic benefits, digital x-rays also have the distinct environmental advantage of using significantly less resources and 80% lower radiation dosages.

3D Xray machines are the latest in  panoramic and CBCT digital imaging. It blends cutting-edge technology with ease of use in a compact design. 3D Xray technology is a tool for accurate diagnosis and complete treatment planning.
