Considering Digital X-Rays?

by Brian Benefield

Have you been reading about how digital x-rays have a host of advantages over traditional film? Has a colleague told you about the benefits of showing a patient their condition on a large flat-screen monitor? Are you interested in submitting an electronic copy of an x-ray to the insurance carrier and having the claim paid faster? How nice would it be to say goodbye to all of the x-ray chemicals? The benefits of digital x-rays are real and there is no time like the present to make the change.

Let us help you sort through the options available to you. Because Datacon Dental is able to integrate with all of the major digital x-ray software, we have vast experience with the various dental x-ray systems and have collected feedback from our clients regarding image quality, customer service, value, price, diagnostic tools, etc. Plus, our technicians have tremendous expertise when it comes to installing computer hardware in dental operatories.

• Why are laptops generally inferior to PCs in the back office?
• Where will the PC go?
• Is there power available at that location?
• How will the monitor(s) be positioned so patients and staff can clearly see the screen, yet not be in the way and subject to damage?
• Where will the digital x-rays be stored and how will they be backed up?
• Do we hardwire the network rather than going wireless?
• How much should you budget for the computer hardware and installation?

With so many options, why not lean on Datacon Dental Systems for help? Avoid the common pitfalls by contacting us today!
