At Port Jefferson Dental Group.....................The trauma of a dental X-ray and its
painful bite-plates of film have become a thing of the past

Digital X-ray Defined
Digital radiography images a patient's teeth by passing electrons
through the mouth and into a small computer probe. The probe
feeds data to a computer, creating vivid images of the teeth.

Digital X-ray Benefits
Up to 90% reduction of radiation for patients
Faster - images available in 8 seconds, not 8 minutes
Environmentally friendly - no caustic film development chemicals
are released into the city sewer system


Computed Digital Radiography
A new diagnostic tool has become available in dentistry that allows
us to more precisely evaluate your oral health than ever before.
"Computed Digital Radiography" (CDR), is a computer-based dental
x-ray system that displays images in seconds on a computer monitor
so that you can see them and understand more readily what's going
on in your mouth. These images can be processed as either
photographs (like an intra-oral camera) or as x-rays.


Sharper images with minimal distortion results in a clearer x-ray for
a more definitive diagnosis.  We can also make on screen notes,
helping you to speed through planning and consultations.

The CDR uses much lower doses of radiation than regular x-rays
- up to 90% less -
the lowest dosage of any system currently being used.



Full-color images can be printed on a plain (specially treated)
paper and can be easily duplicated for referrals
and insurance benefit assessment.

Faster, safer and more comprehensive...that's
Computed Digital Radiography.
It's even environmentally better because it eliminates
chemical processing.
There is no silver oxide pollution of our water supply.
