Digital X-Rays
Vancouver, WA
 Digital x-rays, also known as radiographs, are an extremely important dental tool at Alder Dental. X-rays help Dr. Alder spot problems that are hidden or invisible to the naked eye. With this tool, he can find decay in cracks and crevices, cavities, signs of infection indicating gum disease, lumps or masses - both malignant or benign, and any bone loss.
At Alder Dental, we can help you maintain a healthy mouth. By detecting problems before they grow into larger problems you are protecting your teeth and saving yourself both pain and money.
Digital Versus Traditional X-rays
Dr. Alder knows that digital x-rays offer many advantages from traditional x-rays. Though both types offer the sources that we need, the advantages are clear.

allow images to be seen on a large screen in the room with the patient
