Did you know that Dr. Olsen has had digital x-rays since 1997? That's right- we have the best radiographic technology that dentistry has to offer! Not only are digital x-rays superior in image quality, they are environmentally friendly, and they give instant images.  This saves you time in the chair and helps us diagnose any concerns faster.  Some of the additional benefits with digital x-rays is that there is less radiation exposure.  Since we have gone with digital x-rays, we have reduced our x-ray exposure by 75%!!

One of the great benefits for you as a patient is that with the digital image on the computer screen right in front of you, you can see your teeth and be involved in co-diagnosis with the doctor. The large image allows us to pinpoint the areas of concern and show you up close your treatment planned. This allows you, as the patient to better understand what is involved in your future procedure. Dr. Olsen also has state of the art intra-oral cameras. These cameras take close up pictures showing any dental work that is breaking down or can show any close up objects in the mouth. Using these cameras allows us to educate you and show you first-hand what is going in your mouth.

Together with digital x-rays and intra-oral camera imaging, Dr. Olsen has the advantage of catching any disease in your mouth while it is in the beginning stages. With regular check-ups and x-rays every year, dentistry is very affordable. It’s when we neglect seeing the dentist is when things can add up and cost 4 times as much as they should. When was the last time you had a check-up? If it’s more than 6 months, call today to get back on track!!
