Dental X-Rays in Thailand

Fast, Safe, and Affordable Dental Imaging in Thailand

Dental X-rays are a vital part of diagnosing and treating oral health issues before they become serious. In Thailand, modern clinics offer digital X-rays and panoramic scans at a fraction of the cost—making accurate dental care accessible, efficient, and affordable.

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.

Dental imaging in Thailand is not only affordable—it’s done using the latest technology and interpreted by trained professionals who regularly treat international patients. Whether you’re living in Thailand or here for treatment, clinics can provide clear, precise diagnostics with minimal wait time.

Dentists use X-rays to detect early-stage problems before they become costly or painful.
