Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays reveal what the naked eye cannot — decay between teeth, infection at the roots, bone levels, and the position of wisdom teeth. We offer low-radiation digital intraoral X-rays and full-mouth panoramic (OPG) scans at all 4 clinics, with images available immediately during your visit for same-day diagnosis and treatment planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a dental X-ray cost in Singapore?
At Caring Dental, dental X-rays start from $25. X-rays taken as part of a treatment like wisdom tooth surgery are usually included in the overall treatment quote.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. We use digital X-rays, which require significantly less radiation than traditional film. A routine dental X-ray involves a very small dose — comparable to the natural background radiation you receive over a day or two — and we use protective aprons as an added precaution.
What types of dental X-rays do you offer?
We offer intraoral X-rays (bitewing and periapical) for checking individual teeth, and panoramic OPG scans that capture your full mouth and jaw in one image — commonly needed before wisdom tooth surgery, implants, or braces.
How often do I need dental X-rays?
For most patients, check-up X-rays every 1-2 years are sufficient. Your dentist will only recommend X-rays when they are clinically needed — for example, to investigate pain, check for decay between teeth, or plan a treatment.
Do I need an X-ray before wisdom tooth surgery?
Yes. A panoramic OPG X-ray is taken before wisdom tooth surgery to assess the position of the tooth and its roots relative to nerves and neighbouring teeth. This is a standard part of the pre-surgery assessment.
