Your dental x-ray details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Routine bitewing x-rays are usually bundled into a comprehensive exam and clean, so the standalone price only applies when x-rays are taken on their own. Larger scans are priced separately.
💰 Ways to save
- Ask if x-rays are included in your checkup and clean, often they are bundled into the exam fee.
- Only get the 3D CT if the dentist genuinely needs it for implants or surgery, a standard OPG is far cheaper.
- Check your extras cover, many health funds rebate a set number of x-rays per year.
