A dental x-ray is an x-ray of the teeth that a dentist use to look for impacted teeth, monitor the growth and development of the jaws in relation to the teeth, and identify potential problems between teeth and jaws and the temporomandibular joint.
You will be asked to stand, biting on a mouth piece. The radiographer will position you in the correct position and the machine will then rotate around your head acquiring the images of your teeth.
A dental X-ray can take approximately 10 minutes.
At Alpha Radiology, we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver first-class services within the health system using a Bulk billing methodology. This means that your Dental X-ray will be bulk billed if you have your Medicare card and a practitioner’s referral with you, and you will have no out-of-pocket expenses.
If you have a referral to another imaging practice or organisation, we can assist you as we can accept all referrals and if you are still in doubt, please seek advice from your referring medical professional.
An appointment is not required for dental (OPG) x-rays. Simply walk in with your referral during our opening hours, and our first available X-ray technician will assist you. If you prefer, you can also book this procedure online to secure your preferred appointment time or call us on 02 7235 2206
No preparation is required, however you might be requested to remove dentures and necklaces so the x-ray scans are not affected.
We provide the highest quality medical and imaging services, leading the way in bulk billing to ensure the real benefit of no out-of-pocket expenses for our patients.
