X-ray examination in clinic Endodontics
About the clinic
An X-ray examination at Clinic Endodontics in San Miguel, El Salvador, provides a detailed view of the teeth, roots, and surrounding oral structures. A package for an initial evaluation with a digital X-ray typically runs around $30. The facility uses digital radiography with electronic sensors that emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional film methods.
Diagnostic process and technology
The clinic utilizes digital imaging technology to produce clear pictures of the mouth without chemical processing. Results are ready for immediate viewing on a screen within 2 to 3 seconds. The diagnostic process includes several options based on patient needs:
- Periapical X-ray. Shows 1 to 3 complete teeth, including the root and surrounding bone.
- Bitewing X-ray. Displays the crowns of both upper and lower teeth on one side of the mouth.
- Panoramic X-ray. Captures the entire mouth, including both arches, sinuses, and jaw joints.
- Clinical evaluation. A physical review of oral health paired with the digital scan results.
Safety and radiation standards
Patient safety is managed through the ALARA principle to keep radiation exposure as low as possible. A single periapical X-ray involves approximately 0.005 mSv of radiation, which is less than a day of natural background radiation. Protective gear, including a lead apron and thyroid collar, is provided for every exposure. For complex cases requiring CBCT scans, the clinic provides a referral to a trusted radiology center.
Results and digital storage
Images are stored in a digital archive within the patient record for easy retrieval. The diagnostic files are saved in standard formats such as JPG, PNG, or DICOM. These files can be shared with the patient or other specialists for further review. The entire examination is conducted as an outpatient service with instant results.
Patients seeking an oral health assessment can leave a request on Bookimed to arrange a visit.

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.
