This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist’s office! It’s rare to find a dentist you can truly trust, but Dr. Mustacchi is caring, gentle, and completely trustworthy. He went above and beyond to help us today, and when he pulled my daughter’s tooth, she didn’t even feel it! We are so grateful for his kindness and professionalism. Thank you, Dr. Mustacchi!

Digital X-Rays: A Safer Option for Dental Imaging

Digital X-rays have revolutionized the field of dentistry by providing a safer, faster, and more accurate method of imaging teeth and surrounding structures.

When exposed to X-rays, the sensor or plate converts the radiation into an electronic signal, which is then displayed on a computer screen. This eliminates the need for developing and processing film, reducing the overall exposure time for patients.
