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, 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.
Capital District Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons Reviews
Dr. Morcos was great. I have been putting off having my wisdom teeth out for years, if you have to have dental work done, this is the place to do it. Staff were pleasant and kind. They spoke well of each other and the overall tone of the office was polite and peaceful.
I recently had my wisdom teeth removed at Latham Oral Surgery – Capital District Oral Surgeons, & I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and made me feel at ease. The waiting area was comfortable and calming, which helped reduce my pre-surgery nerves. The Team of Nurses & the Dentist himself were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. I appreciated their transparency about what to expect during and after the surgery. They allowed me to play my own music to calm down & even held my very adult hand as I was receiving an IV. Unfortunately I suck at remembering names; but the nurse with the white hair (G.O.A.T), & the nurse with the Black hair, Piercings, & and cool ass designs on her teeth (another G.O.A.T) are friggin amazing at their jobs and both deserve raises for real; whatever they're making... DOUBLE IT!! Even the Nurse with the purple hair was a freaking sweet heart and was just a pleasure to work with. The surgery itself was a breeze! The staff was attentive and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I felt well cared for, and the procedure was quick and efficient. Post-surgery, the follow-up instructions were clear, and I experienced minimal discomfort thanks to their effective pain management recommendations. Overall, my experience at this dentist was outstanding. They turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and positive one. I’m grateful for their excellent care and would highly recommend them to anyone needing dental work. Five stars all the way! (Honestly if rate them anything under a 4 star.... You're the problem. Do some Self Reflection and find God.)
My dentist referred me to this excellent group of professionals. If you are anxious about going to the dentist this is the place to be.. professional and compassionate...many thanks to Dr. Delgado and the staff...
Professional and compassionate staff. The surgeon was thorough in his explanation of the procedure.
Dr. Miron and his staff were great! Highly recommend! Mary Cordato

A set of digital x-rays will generally be taken during your first visit with our practice and then as needed to complete your care or monitor your oral health. For certain visits, a whole mouth set may be taken to get a comprehensive view of the teeth, gums, and jaw. Your digital x-rays will be stored with other information at Capital District Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons so that our oral surgeons can watch for trends and chart any developing problems.
