Digital impressions and digital radiography serve different purposes in dental care. Digital impressions use optical scanning technology to create accurate 3D models of your teeth and gums—commonly used for procedures like crowns, bridges, and aligners. Digital radiography, on the other hand, uses low-dose X-rays to capture detailed images of your teeth, roots, and jawbone, helping diagnose issues beneath the surface. Both technologies enhance precision and comfort but focus on different aspects of your dental health.
