Affinity Dental Clinic
Digital X-Rays in Richmond
Clearer Imaging. Smarter Care.
When something isn’t visible during a regular exam, digital X-rays help fill in the blanks. They let us see inside the tooth, beneath the gum line, and around the jaw—all in a matter of seconds.
At Affinity Dental Clinic, we use digital imaging because it’s fast, detailed, and safer than traditional film. The results come up right away, so we can show you what we see and talk through your next steps.
What to Expect
Most X-rays take just a few minutes. The sensor is placed gently inside your mouth, and the image appears almost instantly. If we’re checking for decay, monitoring healing, or confirming alignment, these scans help us move forward with confidence.
You won’t feel pain. There’s no waiting. And there’s no pressure if you need a moment before we begin.
Why It Matters
Dental X-rays give us a view of what we can’t see with the naked eye. That includes small cavities between teeth, signs of infection, changes in bone, and other early-stage issues. Catching these problems early can save you time, money, and discomfort down the road.
FAQ
Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Do I need X-rays every time I come in?
No. We’ll only recommend them when they’re useful. That might be once a year, or sooner if something specific needs a closer look.
Is it safe to get dental X-rays?
Yes. Digital X-rays use less radiation than older methods, and we take precautions to keep exposure low. For most patients, it’s considered very safe.
Can I see what you’re seeing?
Definitely. We review the images with you in real time, so you’re not left guessing. You’ll know what we’re looking at and why it matters.
