Digital X-rays and Dental Records Houston

Digital X-rays

Every treatment room is equipped with the latest in digital x-ray equipment. With this modern technology, the images are recorded not on plastic film but on a special electronic sensor capable of incredible detail. There are many advantages for the patient:

1. Much SAFER. The sensitivity of this system uses 80% less radiation than conventional x-rays. With digital x-rays we can take five images to equal one image on regular film.
2. The results are instant. No waiting for developing the images in a darkroom. If corrections or special pictures are necessary they can be done immediately.
3. The digital x-rays are stored on the computer- easy to find and difficult to lose.
4. The images can be seen on any computer in the office and easily shown to the patient. Thus the patient is better informed of their health status.
5. The digital images can be sent by email to the insurance company or a specialist if necessary.
6. Better for the environment. No chemicals to use and dispose of.

Digital Records

Doctor Silberman is proud to provide the latest in digital record keeping. Similar to modern hospitals written patient records are being converted to digital records.

The digital records make it easy for us to track any progress of disease as well as check the status of laboratory cases and prescriptions. Dental records kept digitally also allow us to better communicate with the patient; the patient is better informed and more aware of his or her needs. When dental procedure information has to be sent to an insurance company the claim is received immediately and can be checked quickly for accuracy reducing any delay in benefits to the patient.

The patient’s records are kept private. Information is backed up on-site and is never stored off- site or shared in any way.

Finally, this transition, because it is paperless, is kinder to the environment.
