Why Choose Our Dental X-Ray Services?

When it comes to dental imaging, our NYC practice is equipped with advanced dental imaging technology, including CT scans and panoramic X-rays, that provides a level of detail many other offices don’t offer. This advanced digital x-ray system produces clearer images and uses far less radiation than older x-ray methods.

Our NYC office offers:

  • CT Scans at $350 (full mouth, not covered by insurance)
  • Panoramic X-Rays at $145 (often covered by insurance)

We provide these X-rays as standalone services, making it convenient for patients who only need imaging without a full appointment.

Types of Dental X-Rays We Offer in NYC

Panoramic X-Rays and CBCT Scans

Each type has a role in supporting accurate dental care, from quick assessments to detailed diagnostics.

  • CT Scans (CBCT): Our Cone Beam CT Scans provide detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, making them ideal for planning root canals, dental implants, and addressing complex cases.
  • Panoramic X-Rays: For a quick, full view of your upper and lower teeth, panoramic x-rays are ideal. They help detect signs of gum disease, impacted teeth, jaw abnormalities, and other dental health issues. Most insurance providers cover these X-rays, making them accessible for routine dental care.

Why Choose Digital X-Rays Over Traditional Methods?

Digital X-rays offer substantial benefits:

  • Reduced Radiation: Digital systems use up to 90% less radiation than traditional options.
  • Instant Results: Images are available immediately, speeding up the diagnostic process.
  • Clear, Detailed Images: Digital technology produces sharp visuals that can be zoomed in on specific areas.
  • Easy Sharing: Easily shareable files mean your images can be reviewed by other specialists when necessary.

How Often Do I Need Imaging?

New Patients
For us to provide the highest level of care, it’s essential to start with a full, accurate view of your oral health. That’s why all new patients receive a complete set of diagnostic images, including a panoramic scan, at their initial visit. This comprehensive imaging helps us accurately assess and address any underlying concerns. If you’ve had similar images taken at another office, we’re happy to incorporate those into your file.
We know that no one wants unnecessary radiation exposure, so our imaging technology is fully digital and designed for minimal radiation. Patients are also provided with protective equipment like thyroid-protecting lead aprons to ensure the lowest radiation dose possible.
In our practice, we also consider factors such as pregnancy and past radiation exposure, so each patient’s needs are met individually. Quality oral care begins with detailed information, leading to the right diagnosis and treatment plans for every smile.

Existing Patients
For ongoing patients, we recommend bitewing imaging every 12 months to monitor any changes in oral health. However, if patients have a history of stable, healthy exams, imaging may be needed only every couple of years or in cases where a specific area needs to be checked.
Our advanced intraoral camera often complements X-ray needs, capturing detailed images of the mouth. In some cases, this technology provides the visual details we need without additional imaging, ensuring thorough care while limiting exposure. For thorough records and insurance documentation, we rely on both imaging and intraoral photos to document and address any findings effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How Often Do I Need a Dental X-Ray?
A full set of dental X-rays is often recommended for new patients to establish a baseline for future dental visits. For existing patients, X-rays may be taken every 12 months or as needed to track any changes in dental health.

Are Digital X-Rays More Affordable?
Digital X-rays are not only safer but also cost-effective, especially with panoramic X-rays typically covered by most insurance providers. Our pricing is transparent, with CT scans at $350 and panoramic X-rays at $145, so you know the cost upfront.

What Is the Radiation Exposure Like?
With digital technology, radiation exposure is minimized. A single digital x-ray has a level of exposure comparable to what you might encounter in daily life.
