Dental Imaging Procedure Numbers
Dental X-ray procedures include intraoral X-rays, extraoral X-rays, and CBCT scans. Intraoral X-rays capture a single image from inside the mouth. In 2024, over 1 billion dental X-ray procedures were performed in the U.S., predominantly driven by routine dental checkups.
The growth in procedure numbers is not linked to a rise in the patient population but is attributed to the transition to digital imaging technology, which enhances efficiency and diagnostic precision.
