The use of digital panoramic x-rays gives our dentists an accurate and complete view of your teeth as well as other structures inside of your mouth. The digital sensor used to take the images may resemble traditional x-ray film, but it is actually linked to a computer.
Since your x-rays are digital, we can view them collaboratively as soon as they are taken. They are available for discussion and, ultimately, allow for a better understanding of anything that we might need to resolve. In addition, digital x-rays use approximately one-quarter of the radiation of traditional film x-rays. They are also better for the environment as they require no fixant or other harmful chemicals.
Patients often need help relaxing during complex treatments. We offer sedation options that include nitrous oxide and oral sedation. Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that helps you feel drowsy, calm, and detached from the experience. If oral sedation is needed, you will be prescribed a medicine to take before you arrive. In some cases, a combination of both methods is used to help patients fully relax.

Second time visiting FRD and this visit only furthered my confidence in my decision to continue on with the major dental work needed with their office! So impressed with the kindness and compassion that everyone I have met so far has given to me! I know I'm in good hands and cannot wait to see the end result when all is done. If you suffer from dental anxiety I'd 110% recommend at the very least giving this office a shot. They have put my mind and heart at ease and for that I will forever be thankful
