See the Difference Digital Imaging Can Make
At our Babylon dental office, we use state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology to deliver detailed images with minimal radiation exposure—up to 90% less than traditional film X-rays. Digital imaging allows Dr. Catera to catch issues like cavities, infections, and bone loss early—often before you notice any symptoms.
Whether you’re here for a routine exam or specific treatment, digital X-rays help us create a clearer picture of your oral health—quickly and comfortably.
Modern Dental X-Rays with Less Radiation & More Precision
Getting digital dental X-rays is actually a lot like the old-school version you might remember—but with a modern upgrade. Instead of using traditional film, we place a small digital sensor in your mouth to capture the image. It might look similar to what you’re used to, but here’s the big difference: this sensor is electronic and connected directly to a computer.
The best part? The image shows up instantly on a screen, so Dr. Catera can take a close look right away and walk you through what she sees.
It’s faster, more comfortable, and gives us a much clearer view of what’s going on with your teeth.

What Makes Digital Dental X-Rays a Smart Choice?
Less Radiation Exposure: We get it—radiation is something many patients worry about. The good news? Digital dental X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than the old film-based method. While traditional X-rays are still considered safe, digital radiography offers extra peace of mind—especially for those who need regular imaging or just prefer a lower-exposure option.
Quicker Appointments: Nobody likes waiting around—especially at the dentist. With digital X-rays, there’s no film to develop. The image appears on a screen almost instantly, so we can review it with you on the spot. That means faster checkups and more time for what matters.
Clearer, Adjustable Images: Forget the tiny film slips—digital X-rays give us the flexibility to zoom in, adjust contrast, and highlight even the smallest details. Whether we’re looking for early signs of decay or checking on a restoration, the clarity helps us catch things sooner and explain what we’re seeing with ease.
Easy Sharing & Record Transfers: Need to see a specialist or get a second opinion? No problem. Digital images can be securely emailed right from our office—no copying, no mailing delays, and no hassle. This makes it simple to coordinate care or keep your records up to date.
Environmentally Friendly: Digital X-rays aren’t just good for your health—they’re better for the planet, too. We don’t use chemicals to develop film, there’s no need for a darkroom, and we reduce paper waste with fully digital records. It’s a cleaner, greener approach to dental care.
Powerful Diagnostic Tools: Some advanced programs even allow us to compare your current X-rays with past ones to spot the tiniest changes in your tooth structure. This helps us track your dental health over time and catch issues early—before they turn into bigger problems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Dental X-Ray's
Are digital dental X-rays safe during pregnancy?
Yes, digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. However, we always take extra precautions during pregnancy and may postpone non-urgent imaging unless it’s essential for your care.
How often should I get dental X-rays?
It depends on your oral health history, age, and risk factors. Some patients may only need X-rays once a year, while others may require them more frequently for ongoing care or specific concerns.
Can children get digital dental X-rays?
Absolutely. Digital X-rays are safe for children and are commonly used to monitor developing teeth, track growth, and catch issues early—like cavities or crowding.
Will my insurance cover digital dental X-rays?
Most dental insurance plans cover digital X-rays as part of routine preventive care. Our team can help you review your coverage and let you know what to expect before your appointment.
What can digital dental X-rays detect that a regular exam can’t?
Digital X-rays help us spot cavities between teeth, bone loss, abscesses, impacted teeth, and other issues that aren’t visible during a visual exam alone.
Do digital X-rays hurt?
Not at all. The process is quick and comfortable. We simply place a small sensor in your mouth, and the image is captured in seconds.
