How Digital X-Rays Benefit Dentists and Patients

Digital X-rays are a trusted dental technology. They are developed to provide dentists with accurate, real-time images of a patient's teeth and oral cavity, which helps them deliver more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. Not only can digital X-rays benefit dentists, but they also support patients. Patients can feel assured knowing that Diver Lake Dental is committed to their oral health. As a dentist in Nanaimo, we’re proud to be able to offer digital X-rays to our patients!
