Dental X-Rays in Thailand

Fast, Safe, and Affordable Dental Imaging in Thailand

What Are Dental X-Rays?

Dental X-rays are imaging tools that allow your dentist to see what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. They help diagnose issues that aren’t visible during a regular exam, such as decay between teeth, infections, bone loss, or impacted teeth.

There are several types commonly used:

Bitewing X-rays – Show upper and lower teeth and detect decay between them
Periapical X-rays – Focus on one or two teeth and their roots
Panoramic X-rays – Provide a full view of all teeth, jawbones, sinuses, and joints
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) – Offers 3D imaging for implants, surgery, and complex diagnostics

Digital X-rays are now standard in most Thai clinics—they’re fast, comfortable, and expose patients to much lower levels of radiation than traditional film X-rays.
