Whether it’s a routine visit or a same-day issue, we keep your experience clear, gentle, and pressure-free.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
A dental exam involves more than just looking at your teeth — it’s a complete evaluation of your mouth, jaw, gums, and overall dental health. We check for early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, infections, and even oral cancer. This routine visit is your first line of defense against common issues that can lead to bigger problems if left untreated. You’ll leave with a clear picture of your oral health and any next steps.

What Are Digital Dental X-Rays?
Digital dental X-rays give us a safe and detailed view of what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. These images help us catch things like cavities between teeth, infections, bone loss, or impacted teeth that we can’t see during a regular exam. The process is fast, completely painless, and uses far less radiation than traditional film X-rays. You’ll be able to view the images on-screen while we walk you through the findings. To learn more about digital x-rays, click here or you can call/text or email our office with any questions and we would be more than happy to help.

Dental Exam And X-Ray Process
Dental X-Ray Options at Toluca Advanced Dentistry
We offer two essential types of dental X-rays to monitor your oral health and catch issues early—each recommended at different intervals for best results.
Full Moth X-Rays (FMX)
A Full Mouth Series is a complete set of X-rays that provides a comprehensive view of all your teeth, roots, and surrounding bone. This type of imaging is typically done every 5 years and helps us detect deep decay, bone loss, infections, and other conditions that may not be visible in a standard exam. At Toluca Advanced Dentistry, we offer the FMX for $200, using low-radiation digital technology for your comfort and safety.
Four Bitewing X-Rays (BWX)
Four Bitewing X-rays are used to capture detailed images of the upper and lower back teeth, allowing us to detect cavities between teeth and monitor bone levels for signs of gum disease. This set of X-rays is typically recommended once a year as part of your preventative dental care. At Toluca Advanced Dentistry, we offer 4 Bitewing X-rays for $104, using low-radiation digital imaging to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
Free Emergency Dental Exam and X-ray*
We waive the exam and x-ray fee when you schedule treatment for diagnosed conditions. (Otherwise only $50 for emergency exam and X-ray)

Patient Reviews
we’re here to Answer all your questions
A regular exam and X-ray is a full check-up. It includes a comprehensive evaluation of your entire mouth, along with a full set of bitewing X-rays. This visit costs $150 and is best for routine dental care and early detection.
An emergency exam and X-ray are designed to focus on one specific area that’s bothering you. It includes a limited, problem-focused evaluation and one targeted X-ray to help diagnose the issue. This visit costs $50, but if you schedule to start treatment, there will be no charge.
If you move forward with treatment for anything diagnosed during the exam, we’ll apply the $50 emergency exam and X-ray fee toward your total cost of care. We do this to make your visit as stress-free and affordable as possible.
Yes, in most cases we can begin treatment the same day—whether it’s a filling, extraction, or other immediate care. If a specialist is needed or additional time is required, we’ll make sure you’re scheduled promptly so there’s no delay in addressing your issue.
Bitewing X-rays help us spot cavities between the teeth and check bone levels around the gums—things that aren’t visible to the eye. They’re a key part of preventive care and help us catch issues early before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems.
Yes, for your safety and quality of care, we require a full exam and X-rays before your first cleaning appointment. This allows our team to check for any hidden issues and customize your cleaning based on what your mouth actually needs.
