How Mountain Shadows Family Dentistry Reduces Radiation Exposure From Patient X-rays

Film x-rays have been used in dentistry for decades. In the past few years many forward thinking dentists like Dr. Holsteen have invested in digital x-ray technology. Film x-rays cost a bit less than digital x-rays but the long term exposure to film x-rays can be very harmful to a patient’s overall health. Our digital x-ray uses as much as 85% less radiation than traditional x-ray technology.

Why Mountain Shadows Family Dentistry Invested In Digital X-ray Technology?

Digital x-rays are one of the most important new advances to our office. We are not only able to reduce your exposure to radiation but also increase the diagnostic proficiency. In addition to increased diagnostics we reduce the amount of harmful chemicals and other waste materials associated with traditional x-ray technology. The reduction in waste was a big consideration when deciding to invest in digital technology. We pride ourselves in being ‘green’ and environmentally responsible.

At your next dental visit please ask us about any additional questions regarding our new digital x-ray technology or give us a call at 719-598-3502 . Our first concern is your comfort and long term overall health.

I've been seeing Dr. Holsteen since 1992! The staff is wonderful! They are friendly and they talk to you! They are not robots! (Not to mention they play my favorite oldies station on Pandora when I go in!) I love these professionals because they make you feel at home!
