Advanced Dental X-Rays for Accurate Diagnosis & Safer Care

With today's advanced technology, there are several types of dental X-rays, and each one gives your dentist a different view of your mouth:

• Bitewing X-rays show the upper and lower teeth together and are commonly used to find cavities between teeth.
• Periapical X-rays focus on one or two teeth from the crown to the root, and help spot infections or root problems.
• Panoramic X-rays capture a wide view of your entire mouth, including jawbones and wisdom teeth.
• Full-mouth X-ray series combine several images to give a complete picture of your oral health.

Your dentist will recommend the right teeth X-ray based on your age, dental history, and current concerns. All dentist X-rays are taken with accuracy and safety as top priorities.

The cost of a dental X-ray can vary depending on the type needed, how many images are taken, and how often they’re required. Bitewing X-rays typically cost less than panoramic or full-mouth X-ray series. Insurance often covers routine dental radiography, especially for preventive care. Pricing can vary by location and your insurance coverage. Teeth X-rays are a smart investment as they help catch problems early and may prevent more costly treatments down the road.

Getting a mouth X-ray is simple and stress-free with no preparation needed. Your dentist will give you a protective lead apron to wear, and a small sensor will be placed in your mouth for a few seconds while the image is taken. The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive. Most teeth X-rays are completed in just minutes, and your dentist can review the images with you right away.
