To protect both the health of our patients and the
environment, we have switched entirely to a digital
imaging system based on dental radiology.
In our clinic we perform the following:
Intra-oral images – the most advanced system - KODAK
6100 radiovisiography.
This system replaces traditional films with a digital sensor.

The radiation dose is reduced by 90% compared with the traditional method.
1. Periapical radiographs. We can
magnify the image of the tooth to many times its size and with a
quality that is incomparably better than with traditional films. The
system allows for measurements, changes in contrast and saturation,
depending on the structure we want to make visible.
2. Bite-wing images - providing an
image of caries on interproximal surfaces (invisible when examined
with a dental mirror)

Extraoral images – using the latest generation device:
KODAK 9000C.

Pantomographic images
These are diagnostic images that give a general overview
of the state of the patient’s dentition. They are
essential for a preliminary diagnosis and treatment
planning. They are also taken as control images.

Cephalometric images
These images are made for orthodontic diagnostic purposes.
It takes just one second to take this picture with our
equipment! Other types of devices can take as long as 16
seconds (and the patient is exposed to radiation for 16
times longer). Our apparatus also allows us to make an
orthodontic analyses of teeth in just a few minutes.

Hand/wrist images
Such images are taken to assess bone age for orthodontic
and implant purposes.
