Cost & bulk billing
Dental imaging such as OPG panoramic X-rays and CBCT (3D cone beam CT) is usually charged privately, as most dental imaging is not covered by Medicare. Some dental X-rays referred by a medical practitioner for medical reasons can attract a rebate. Fees vary between clinics, so comparing before you book is worthwhile.
Referral & Medicare
You will need a referral from your dentist, orthodontist, oral surgeon, or doctor. Medicare generally does not cover dental imaging, though private health insurance extras cover may contribute. Check with your fund.
Preparing for your dental X-ray
- No special preparation is needed for OPG, CBCT, or other dental X-rays.
- Remove jewellery, glasses, hearing aids, and any metal around the head and neck before the scan.
- Bring your referral from your dentist, orthodontist, or doctor.
- Tell the radiographer if you are or might be pregnant.

What is an OPG X-ray?
An OPG (orthopantomogram) is a panoramic X-ray that captures your full mouth (all teeth, both jaws, and the jaw joints) in a single image. It is commonly used for wisdom teeth assessment, orthodontics, and general dental planning.
What is a CBCT scan?
CBCT (cone beam CT) is a 3D dental scan that gives detailed images of teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. It is often used for dental implant planning, complex extractions, and root canal assessment.
Does Medicare cover dental X-rays?
Generally no. Most dental imaging is billed privately. Some imaging referred by a medical practitioner (rather than a dentist) for medical reasons can attract a Medicare rebate. Private health extras cover may also contribute.
