Periapical X-ray in clinic Endodontics

About the clinic

A periapical X-ray at Clinic Endodontics in San Miguel, El Salvador, provides a detailed view of up to three teeth from crown to root. This diagnostic typically costs around $30 and uses digital sensors to capture images in seconds with minimal radiation exposure.

The clinic uses digital radiography with an electronic intraoral sensor. This method eliminates the need for chemical processing and provides an image on the screen within 2–3 seconds. The examination helps identify deep cavities, root lesions, and bone status. It is also used to check root canal progress or detect fractures. Patients remain in the clinic for a same-day outpatient appointment. The attending endodontist interprets the images immediately during the visit.

Safety and Equipment

  • Low radiation exposure. The digital system emits approximately 0.005 mSv per exposure, which is lower than a day of natural background radiation.
  • Protective protocols. Staff apply a lead apron and thyroid collar for every patient to minimize secondary exposure.
  • High-resolution imaging. The sensor captures the full root length and the surrounding alveolar bone.
  • Digital archives. The clinic keeps a permanent record of all images for future comparison.

Diagnostic Details

The periapical X-ray is available as a standalone service or as part of an initial clinical evaluation. While the clinic provides detailed digital views of individual teeth, it does not perform cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on-site. If a 3D scan is necessary, the team refers patients to an external radiology center. The clinic follows strict hygiene standards, using a Class B autoclave for all sterilization needs. Results are exportable in various digital formats, including JPG, PNG, or DICOM, and can be shared electronically for your records.

To schedule a periapical X-ray at this facility, you can leave a request on Bookimed.

clinic Endodontics: more details about the clinic

El Salvador, El Salvador

Clinic Endodontics is a specialist dental facility in San Miguel, El Salvador. Established in 2026, the clinic focuses on preserving natural teeth through expert diagnosis and microscope-assisted treatments. It is led by co-founder Dr. Stefany Colato, who completed her endodontic training in Brazil. The medical team is bilingual, offering services in both Spanish and English.

Specialized Endodontics and Dental Surgery

The clinic resolves 90% of cases in a single 60–90 minute session. This efficiency comes from using an operating microscope with 25x magnification. Such detail lets the specialist spot accessory canals and fractures that are normally invisible. These techniques achieve success rates above 90% at 10 years.

Beyond root canal therapy, the clinic provides surgical and restorative options:

  • Endoscopic apicoectomy (apical microsurgery)
  • Dental implant placement with 3D digital planning
  • Orthodontics with clear aligners and traditional braces
  • Full-mouth reconstructions and smile design
  • Periodontal surgery for advanced gum disease

Dental implant procedures use local anesthesia and typically take 45–60 minutes per implant. A 3–6 month healing period follows, allowing the titanium post to bond securely with the bone.

Comprehensive Oral Rehabilitation

For patients with complex needs, the clinic offers structured oral rehabilitation. This treats severely worn teeth and multiple missing teeth. The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation – clinical exams, bite analysis, and study models. Specialists then create a diagnostic mock-up so patients can preview results before treatment starts.

Care follows sequenced phases. This allows proper healing between extractions, implants, and restorative work. Patients with a history of periodontitis receive maintenance every 3–4 months. This frequent monitoring prevents gum disease recurrence and protects restorations.

Technology and Precision Diagnostics

The clinic uses specific technologies to improve accuracy and safety. Digital radiography eliminates chemical processing and reduces radiation exposure. Images appear instantly on screen for precise measurement and contrast adjustment. High-resolution bitewing X-rays detect early cavities between teeth during routine check-ups.

Key treatment technologies include:

  • Operating microscope with magnification up to 25x
  • Rotary mechanized systems for precise canal shaping
  • Electronic apex locator to measure canal length to the millimeter
  • Class B autoclave for high-standard sterilization
  • 3D digital planning software for implant positioning

These tools help deliver better long-term outcomes than manual instrumentation alone.

Services for International Patients

International patients can receive a preliminary treatment plan within 24 hours by sending photos or X-rays via WhatsApp or iMessage. The clinic structures dental tourism services around travel schedules, so fewer trips are needed. Staff also assist with travel logistics for surgery dates and crown placement sessions.

After treatment, the clinic maintains care through remote follow-up. Dr. Stefany Colato provides digital consultations via FaceTime or WhatsApp once patients return home. Those undergoing full oral rehabilitation have maintenance check-ups every 6 months to monitor long-term health.
