Digital X-rays in Albany, NY

Overview

Digital x-rays, or radiographs, are completed during a dental exam to provide a better picture of your teeth and gums. These low-radiation x-rays produce highly detailed images that allow skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeons Drs. Stephen DeMarco, Diego Miron, Timothy Adams, and Luis Delgado to diagnose concerns that are not easily visible and to understand more about the health of your teeth, jawbone, sinus cavities, and other oral and facial structures. If issues, like bone loss, cysts, oral infections, and tooth impaction, are identified early, we may be able to better preserve your oral health and provide you with less invasive treatment options. During your dental exam at Capital District Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons in Albany, NY, digital imaging will be used to aid our surgical team in diagnosing and treating oral issues to improve your overall health, comfort, and wellness.

Best Candidates

Digital x-rays may be taken in our office to evaluate your oral pain, conditions, or treatment needs or forwarded to our team by your referring dentist. There are several dental and oral concerns that may be diagnosed with digital images, such as cavities, abscesses, cysts and tumors, tooth impactions, and bone loss. Even though digital x-rays use up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film x-rays, our team at Capital District Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons prefers to limit patient exposure and only takes them as necessary to diagnose oral conditions or aid in treating these concerns. While digital x-rays are usually safe for most individuals, patients who are breastfeeding or may be pregnant should talk to your oral surgeon at the beginning of the exam so that extra cautionary steps can be taken.

What to Expect

Committed to offering the latest in technology to our patients, our advanced digital imaging takes less than five minutes to complete. The number and type of x-rays recommended will depend on your individual treatment needs and oral health concerns. After they are taken, these crisp, highly detailed images are transmitted directly to your chart within our computer system and can be viewed by you and our surgical team throughout your exam. We will thoroughly assess any issues and go over your treatment options.

Dr Delgado and team, it was an absolute pleasure. Thank you for the patience and care you took in performing my son’s surgery. Dr Delgado’s follow up call, post surgery, was something we least expected, this is service and care beyond measure. Your office staff and nurses are amazing. Definitely a well recommended oral surgeon and facility, if you are in need of oral surgery or care.

Words can't express my gratitude for the care that my son received from Dr. Delgado and his team. They created a caring, welcoming, and professional environment. They were non-judgemental and patient in answering my long list of questions, including the weird ones. I am impressed by their kindness and professionalism. The moment I noted the separate holders for the new pens and used pens, I understood why this place feels so special. Dr. Delgado, Kim, and Tracy (in alphabetical order) are exemplary healthcare professionals who pay attention to every detail.

I went to see Dr. Delgado for a consultation. I needed three teeth removed. Dr. Delgado was very nice. He listened to my concerns about the surgery. He told me exactly what was going to be done and made sure I understood everything and took my concerns seriously. On the day or the surgery, I was really nervous. Both he and his staff helped to calm me down. Surgery went well. I healed well. I highly recommend Dr. Delgado. He is an excellent surgeon.

Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had at a dental office in my life. I had a dental emergency and the Albany location got me right in. The staff and Dr. Morcos were amazing!

This has to be by far the best experience i have ever had with a Dr./Dentist. After many issues with other facilities and told most places wouldn't see me till March and the amount of pain i was in i called the Albany location. They told me they would see me this week. I asked if there was any way they could get me in today as it was an emergency. They agreed and set a same day appointment. When i arrived a friendly face Davia was there to reassure me they would help and take care of my issues. Dr JONATHAN MORCOS was incredible and knew what needed to be done. He made arrangements to do the procedure i needed right there and then. By far i would recommend this practice to any family and friends and i will be sure to return for any other dental care needed. Thank you again James
