What dental X-ray is used for

Common reasons your doctor may recommend dental X-ray.

Wisdom teeth assessment

An OPG shows all four wisdom teeth, their roots, and their position before removal is planned.

Orthodontics and braces

OPG and lateral cephalometric X-rays map tooth and jaw position for orthodontic treatment planning.

Dental implant planning

CBCT (3D cone beam CT) measures jawbone depth and density so implants can be placed safely.

Jaw, TMJ and general dental

Assesses jaw joints, impacted teeth, infections, and bone loss from gum disease.

Dental X-Ray: cost, referral & preparation

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.

Dental X-Ray FAQs

How do I find dental X-ray clinics near me?

Search Dental X-Ray clinics on Radly by suburb or postcode, compare bulk billing and reviews, and request your booking online with your referral. No phone calls needed. The clinic confirms your appointment directly.

Can I request dental X-ray online?

Yes. Pick a clinic on Radly, select your scan and preferred time, attach your referral, and send your booking request in about 30 seconds. The clinic contacts you to confirm. Appointments for dental X-ray are walk-in or same day at most clinics.

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.

How much does a dental X-ray or OPG cost?

At a dedicated dental imaging clinic, an OPG panoramic X-ray typically costs around $50-$120 and a CBCT scan around $150-$350, depending on the clinic and the area imaged. Most dental imaging is billed privately without a Medicare rebate, so prices vary - comparing clinics before you book can save real money.

Do I need a referral for a dental X-ray?

Yes. Dental imaging clinics require a referral from your dentist, orthodontist, oral surgeon, or doctor. The referral specifies which images are needed (for example an OPG or CBCT). You can take it to any imaging provider you choose - you are not locked to the clinic your dentist suggests.

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.
