Why is a dental exam so expensive?
Imaging costs depend on the number of views, sensor type, and whether the office owns equipment or sends out scans. Full-mouth series and panoramic images cost more than a small bitewing set. Regional cost-of-living also shifts the final bill. Compare cash quotes before paying.
