The first step to the effective treatment of many dental problems and concerns is a set of dental X-rays. Taking a set of X-rays of your teeth and jawline is a painless procedure. What’s more, it’s generally an affordable service, costing just $10 to around $250, depending on which kind of X-ray your dentist needs to take. And if you have dental insurance coverage, that policy might even take care of the cost of your dental X-rays.
If your dentist has indicated a need for a set of dental X-rays and you’re worried about the cost, read on to learn what to expect.
Your dentist will choose one of four separate types of dental X-rays. Each kind of X-ray carries a different cost. Those costs are outlined for you below solely for basic information. Call your dentist’s office for an appointment to discuss the exact cost.
In addition to the base cost for your dental X-rays, you may be charged additional amounts for the accompanying exam or associated services. Talk to your dentist before your appointment so that you have a precise understanding of what you’ll be expected to pay.
