Dental x-ray costed me $135 (no insurance) !! is that mundane?

They started with some new x-ray which have less radiation, but when they inserted the 1st strip in my mouth, I could'nt nick the pain and it bruised my soft palate.

So they did 6 B.W.X and rest x-ray was done next to something that moved around my head, I guess its called digital x-ray.

They charged me $135. Is this the run of the mill price?

Yes, thats about right.

You could always stir have a cleaning and x-rays taken at a school that teach dental hygiene, if there is one that is close satisfactory to where you live. It's worth looking into.

At my school we charge $20 for newly x-rays and then only $5 for a cleaning, if you be to have them done on different days, and $25 for a cleaning and x-rays at the same appointment. Source(s): Dental hygiene student
The xray that went around your head is call a panorex, and yep, they are usually pretty expensive.

In the office I worked in that used one, we charged $78 for the pano and $20 for the first BWX and $16 for respectively one after that.

Some offices offer a discount if you income in cash. Ask 'em. Source(s): dental assistant for 12 years
