Digital X-Rays in Newtown, PA

Our dental office in Newtown, PA, is committed to patient safety and comfort. That’s why we use advanced technologies like low-radiation digital X-rays and 3D imaging. These tools help us diagnose conditions accurately while significantly reducing radiation exposure.

To ensure safety, we follow the ALARA protocol, which stands for “As Low As Reasonably Achievable”, and includes protective lead aprons and careful procedural explanations from our trained dental team.

What Are Digital X-Rays?

Digital X-rays function similarly to traditional X-rays, allowing us to capture detailed images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. They provide fast, reliable diagnostics with far less radiation and virtually no long-term health risks.
