Digital X-Rays

There are many types of digital xrays on the market today. Dr. Smith chose the absolute top of the line, Dexis System for his office. He can blow up the images, zoom in on questionable areas, change the contrast and do measurements.

Whether you choose to do implants or not, Dr. Smith wants to have all the information available to find the best treatment for you.
