Digital X-Rays
A safer and easier twist on a necessary part of your dental visit…
Serious issues including dental infections and oral cancer can occur without
being visible to the naked eye or causing discomfort or pain. Because
of these concerns, dental radiographs are essential to providing you with a full
picture of your dental health during a checkup.
At Afinia Dental, we use digital x-ray technology instead of traditional
film-based x-rays. This procedure reduces the amount of
radiation you receive during your visit to our office by up to 90% compared to
the exposure rates of traditional dental x-rays. And we think
the less radiation that you and your family receive, the better.
Using a digital sensor instead of traditional x-ray film, your radiographs are
instantly available for us to view. This efficient technology
means less time you have to spend in our office since there’s no need to wait
for x-rays to be processed and developed. These images can
also be enlarged and enhanced, enabling us to more thoroughly detect and
diagnose any problems. It’s also good for the planet: there’s no need for the
disposal of packaging materials or harmful
processing chemicals into the environment. Click here for

Dental x-rays may detect infections, damaged bone around the teeth and otherwise
undetectable tooth decay or problems below the gums.
The need for dental x-rays depends on each patient’s individual dental health
needs. Your dentist will recommend necessary x-rays based
upon the review of your medical and dental history, a dental exam, signs and
symptoms, your age, and risk of disease.
Detecting and treating dental problems at an early stage may save
you time, money, unnecessary discomfort, and your teeth! Call
