Reasons I Cannot Practice Without Dexis Digital X-Rays.

The Dexis digital x-ray – what an amazing diagnostic tool. We can now see decay probably 2 to 3 years earlier than with standard x-rays. What this means to our patients is that if we find the decay sooner:
1) The decay will have less time to destroy tooth structure.
2) I will need to do less drilling which according to everyone I know is a good thing.
3) The size of the filling will be smaller which means less cost.
I know patients feel that we are finding areas of decay that were not there 6 months ago. These cavities were present we simply could not see them because they were so small. Thanks to Dexis they can no longer hide !
