Targeted X-ray in clinic Endodontics
About the clinic
A targeted periapical X-ray at Clinic Endodontics in San Miguel, El Salvador, checks for issues in specific teeth from the crown to the root. An initial evaluation including this digital imaging typically runs around $30. The primary advantage of this service is the use of digital sensors that reduce radiation exposure by up to 80% compared to traditional film.
Diagnostic Details and Technology
The clinic uses an intraoral electronic sensor to capture high-resolution images of the teeth. This method shows one to three complete teeth, including the full root and surrounding bone. The digital format allows the specialist to view images on a screen within three seconds. They can adjust brightness, zoom, and contrast for a more precise analysis of the dental structure.
- Diagnostic scope. The X-ray detects deep cavities, apical lesions, root fractures, and bone status.
- Safety protocols. Patients receive a lead apron and thyroid collar for protection during the scan.
- Radiation dose. Each image involves approximately 0.005 mSv, which is less than daily natural background radiation.
- Digital archiving. Images are stored permanently in the patient record and exported as JPG, PNG, or DICOM files.
- Specialist sharing. Results are easily sent to other medical professionals via electronic files.
What the Evaluation Includes
The initial diagnostic visit at Clinic Endodontics covers the clinical examination and the digital periapical X-ray. This specific imaging is necessary for planning root canal treatments and identifying hidden infections. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting, and results are available for review immediately after the exposure.
The clinic avoids using X-rays during pregnancy except in emergency situations. For all other patients, the digital method provides a fast way to obtain clear internal views of the jaw. You can request a consultation for this diagnostic through the Bookimed platform.

How are we doing?
clinic Endodontics: more details about the clinic
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.
