Dental X-Rays in Riverview, NB

Advanced Imaging for Your Health and Peace of Mind

At Bright White Dental Hygiene Clinic, your oral health is our highest priority. That’s why we utilize modern digital dental X-ray technology as part of our comprehensive dental hygiene services. Located in Riverview, New Brunswick, we proudly offer our patients a safe, comfortable, and efficient diagnostic experience that supports early detection and prevention of dental issues.

What Are Dental X-Rays?

Dental X-rays, also called radiographs, are essential diagnostic tools that allow dental professionals to see what is happening below the surface of your teeth and gums. Even with a thorough visual examination, many dental issues may go unnoticed without X-rays. These images help us detect and diagnose problems early — often before you experience pain or visible symptoms.

Our clinic uses digital X-rays, which offer several benefits over traditional film X-rays:

Lower radiation exposure
High-definition images for improved diagnosis
Instant results for faster decision-making
Environmentally friendly (no chemical processing)

Why Might You Need an X-Ray?

Routine dental X-rays are a key part of preventive care, but they may also be recommended for specific reasons. We may suggest X-rays if you:

Are a new patient — to assess your current oral health
Are due for your routine dental hygiene exam
Are experiencing tooth pain, swelling, or gum problems
Have a history of gum disease or tooth decay
Need to monitor existing dental conditions or treatment progress
Are preparing for dental procedures such as implants, extractions, or orthodontics

By providing detailed insights into your oral structures, X-rays help us create a more informed and personalized care plan for your dental hygiene needs.

Safety is Our Priority

At Bright White Dental Hygiene Clinic, we understand that many patients are concerned about exposure to radiation. Rest assured — digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional methods, and we always follow industry guidelines to ensure minimal exposure.

Our team is trained to use protective measures and evaluate each case individually, only recommending X-rays when absolutely necessary.

Types of Dental X-Rays We Use

We provide a range of X-ray options depending on your specific needs:

Bitewing X-Rays
Used to detect cavities between teeth and monitor bone levels. Common during routine check-ups.

Periapical X-Rays
Focus on a specific tooth from crown to root, helping identify infections, cysts, or damage near the root.

Panoramic X-Rays (if referred)
While not performed in-house, we refer patients when full-jaw views are needed for wisdom teeth, implants, or orthodontic assessments.

We collaborate closely with local dental professionals if more advanced imaging is required.

We’ll always explain why an X-ray is recommended and review the results with you, so you’re informed and involved in your dental care.
