Digital X-Rays at Mountain View Dental
Most of us have become aware of exposure risks to radiation that accumulates over a lifetime. The foregoing of x-rays altogether is not an option, nor does it need to be. X-rays have been an indispensable part of any dental practice for years and major problem areas would have gone undetected without them. The choice for Mountain View Dental to invest in digital dental x-rays was an easy one. We want the best for our patients both in comfort and safety. So, our offices are equipped with digital X-rays to aid our dentists in safely providing the best possible care. Our dentists and staff are happy to provide North Ogden and Pleasant View with x-rays.
