Introduction

Dental imaging generally includes three types: periapical radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and cone-beam CT scans, with corresponding prices as follows: periapical radiographs, 10–50 yuan per session; panoramic radiographs, 80–200 yuan per session; cone-beam CT scans, 200–500 yuan per session. Factors influencing the cost of dental imaging include the purpose and complexity of the examination, the type of medical institution, and regional differences.

Dental imaging generally falls into three types: periapical radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), with corresponding prices as follows: periapical radiograph, 10–50 yuan per session; panoramic radiograph, 80–200 yuan per session; cone beam CT, 200–500 yuan per session. Factors influencing the cost of dental imaging include the purpose and complexity of the examination, the type of medical institution, and regional differences.

Types of dental imaging and price references:

Comparison Item / Project	Periapical Radiograph	Panoramic Radiograph	Cone Beam CT
Reference Price	10–50 yuan/session	80–200 yuan/session	200–500 yuan/session
Principle	Captures X-ray images from a specific angle of the tooth, primarily showing a two-dimensional view of an individual tooth from crown to root and surrounding periapical tissues	Uses X-rays to perform a circular scan around the patient’s oral and maxillofacial region, then combines the data into a single two-dimensional panoramic image	Scans using a cone-shaped X-ray beam rotating around the patient’s head to obtain three-dimensional imaging data of the oral and maxillofacial region
Indications	Suitable for observing lesions in a single tooth	Suitable for comprehensive assessment of overall dental condition within the mouth	Suitable for diagnosing complex oral diseases and treatment planning
Recovery Period	None	None	None
Duration	None	None	None
Risks	1. Radiation exposure 2. Misinterpretation of images	1. Radiation exposure 2. Image distortion	1. Radiation exposure 2. Inaccurate image reconstruction

Analysis of influencing factors:

1. Purpose and complexity of examination: Simple dental check-ups are less expensive. However, if the imaging is part of a comprehensive oral evaluation for complex treatments such as orthodontics, dental implant surgery, or maxillofacial surgery, the cost will be higher.

2. Type of medical institution: Specialized dental hospitals typically charge more than general clinics due to advanced equipment and higher requirements for diagnostic accuracy.

3. Regional differences: In economically developed regions, where the overall cost of living is higher, the price of dental imaging is also correspondingly increased.

Dental imaging involves a certain level of radiation exposure. Although this is generally within safe limits, special populations such as pregnant women should proceed with caution.

How much does a dental X-ray cost?

Types of dental imaging include periapical radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and CBCT scans. The corresponding prices are: periapical radiograph, 20–30 yuan per session; panoramic radiograph, 60–200 yuan per session; CBCT scan, 300–600 yuan per session. Prices may vary depending on factors such as imaging technology, scanning range, and geographical location. After imaging, maintain proper daily oral hygiene and brush your teeth regularly.
