New digital X-ray technology uses up to 80% less radiation than older X-rays! This means we can expose our patients to less radiation while using less energy. In addition, our modern digital X-ray system uses reusable sensor plates instead of film; that means no harsh, toxic chemicals for the developing process and no disposable plastic wrappers that contain lead. Call Cape Fear Smiles at 910-763-0931 to schedule your appointment for holistic dentistry with our integrative dentists, Dr. Norma Cortez and Dr. Alexander Hicks, and learn more about digital X-rays in Wilmington, North Carolina, as well as your oral-systemic connection.
