Digital X-rays
Dental radiographs, or x-rays, are vital diagnostic tools that help dentists detect cavities, bone recession, and more.
To safely assess your oral health with accuracy and efficiency, our practice utilizes digital x-rays that emit 90% less radiation.
Explore how Drs. Eli and Yaakov Schulman elevate their treatment using digital imaging in Clifton, NJ.
Exploring the Difference
DIGITAL X-RAYS OFFER
From restorative procedures and cosmetic treatment to general best practices, dental care has made game-changing advancements over the last few decades. One of the most significant leaps forward is the use of digital x-ray equipment. But what is the difference between digital x-rays and their traditional counterparts?
The fundamental difference is that digital radiography, like a digital camera, involves capturing images using sensors connected to a computer, rather than the exposure of film. This simple difference provides several important benefits to the patient:
Improved Safety, Accuracy, and More
Faster Results
Traditional X-rays are printed on film and need time to develop, meaning you and your dentist will have to wait to see the results. We don't want to delay the treatment you need, and we also understand your time is valuable. With digital X-rays, there’s no wait; an image appears on a computer screen within seconds.
Better Image Quality
When it comes to diagnosis and getting started with the ideal treatment, X-ray clarity and detail are of the utmost importance. Fortunately, digital X-rays provide a more precise view of your oral structures than film. Your dentist can also zoom in extremely close using this imaging technology, and adjust contrast levels for a better view of small fractures or irregularities.
90% Less Radiation
Digital X-rays produce a substantially smaller amount of radiation than conventional X-rays. In fact, digital X-rays only expose the body to 10% of the radiation emitted by conventional X-ray machines. While it is highly unlikely a patient would develop complications from the radiation emitted by a properly administered traditional X-ray, it is even less likely with the use of digital X-rays.
Less Waste
Just like analog photography, processing traditional X-rays creates chemical waste and requires film. Digital X-rays eliminate this waste and need for non-biodegradable materials. Meanwhile, digital X-rays can be quickly and easily shared for fast and effective collaboration between specialists.

I've been going to Dr Schulman for 20+ years for all my dental care. He is highly knowledgeable, stays current on latest trends and technology and does not try to upsell. How refreshing. He also has a first-rate team, from Shoshi at the front desk to Dana and Kelly on the dental hygiene side...

How Digital Imaging Benefits Our Patients
AND THEIR LONG-TERM HEALTH
X-rays are an invaluable tool in dentistry, and the digital revolution has made it an even more effective way to safeguard your oral health. Here is how digital technology has improved the way X-rays help us keep your smile happy and healthy:
Diagnostic Accuracy
X-rays have long been effective in helping dental professionals detect diseases and other issues not visible to the naked eye. Digital radiography provides even higher quality images and more precise diagnostics. Digital X-rays let us effectively diagnose any complications that may be lurking under the surface. They also make it easier for us to explain your needs and help you make informed choices about your care.
Better Planning
From fillings to dental implants, having an in-depth understanding of the health of your jawbone, gums, and teeth is paramount. In essence, your dental treatment all starts with your dentist getting an accurate picture of what exactly your mouth — and your body — need. Digital radiography allows for the accurate planning of restorative and cosmetic treatments for maximum long-term benefits.
Better Education
Educated patients are better equipped to make decisions about their care and maintain outstanding oral health between checkups. Now that these X-ray images are digital, it's easy to zoom in, explain the structures of the oral cavity and how they work together, and illustrate any oral health issues to the patient. Our practice values patient education, and we are excited to have the opportunity to use this tool to help you gain a better understanding of your oral health.
Exploring the Cost of Digital X-rays
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
When it comes to getting cutting-edge dental care, we understand that our patients will wonder how much it will cost. Fortunately, most dental insurances cover at least a portion of the cost of digital X-rays. We accept most insurances, including Careington, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, and Aetna.
For those without insurance or individuals who need help budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, our NJ practice accepts financing through CareCredit®. This third-party lender lets you manage out-of-pocket expenses by splitting payments up into monthly installments with little or no interest, based on your credit score.

Dr. Schulman is both professional and expert in his care. My heart no longer pounds when I go to the dentist because I know that no matter if I'm getting a cleaning or filling a cavity or getting a crown, I am in good hands and I feel totally at ease with the treatment since the hygienists and assistants are all capable and warm as well. Thank you for helping me get over my dentist phobia!
