Introduction
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective dental treatment. Dr. Somnath Pal’s dental clinic in Medinipur is equipped with state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology, enabling precise detection of cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, infections, and other hidden dental problems that are invisible to the naked eye.
Digital radiography offers significantly lower radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays while providing clearer, more detailed images that guide treatment planning. Patients from Jhargram, Kharagpur, and Medinipur benefit from this advanced diagnostic capability.
Types of Dental X-Rays and Their Uses
Bitewing X-rays detect cavities between teeth and monitor bone levels. Periapical X-rays show the entire tooth including the root and surrounding bone, crucial for RCT and implant planning. Panoramic X-rays (OPG) provide a complete view of all teeth, jaws, and supporting structures — essential for orthodontic planning and implant assessment.
Dr. Pal interprets all radiographs personally and discusses findings with patients in clear, jargon-free language.
Benefits of Digital X-Rays Over Traditional Film
Digital X-rays are processed instantly, with no chemical development required. They can be enhanced, magnified, and shared electronically for specialist referrals. Radiation exposure is reduced by up to 80% compared to traditional film X-rays, making them much safer especially for children and pregnant women (when absolutely necessary and with shielding).
Digital records are stored securely for long-term comparison and monitoring.
