Periapical X-ray in Positive Dental Studio
About the clinic
A periapical X-ray at Positive Dental Studio in Istanbul or Adana, Türkiye, typically costs around $10. This diagnostic examination provides a detailed view of a single tooth from the crown to the root tip and the surrounding bone. It is a quick tool for detecting infections, cysts, or the success of a root canal.
Diagnostic Details
The periapical X-ray uses a small intraoral sensor or film placed directly next to the tooth. The procedure takes only a few seconds and involves a very low radiation dose. Patients receive immediate results as the dentist reviews the image and explains the findings during the same visit.
- Single-tooth focus. Captures specific details of one tooth and its root structure.
- Diagnostic scope. Identifies deep cavities and infections at the root tip.
- Fast process. The entire scan is completed in seconds without any pain.
- Zero preparation. No special steps are needed before arriving for the X-ray.
- Same-day review. The specialist interprets the image right after it is taken.
The Specialist

Positive Dental Studio: more details about the clinic
Positive Dental Studio is a private multi-specialty dental clinic established in 2011. It operates two branches in Istanbul and Adana. Since opening, the studio has treated over 15,000 patients. The team includes more than 15 specialist dentists. They cover everything from routine cleanings to complex jaw surgeries.
Advanced Dental Specialties
The clinic offers a broad range of dental services through a digital workflow. Specialists use 3D imaging and Digital Smile Design to plan treatments accurately. The facility includes dedicated operating rooms and an observation area for procedures under general anesthesia.
The surgical department performs specialized oral and maxillofacial procedures:
- Orthognathic surgery to correct bite and jaw alignment issues
- Removal of salivary gland stones using local anesthesia or imaging-guided techniques
- Surgical removal of large cysts and tumors with laboratory tissue examination
- Torus surgery to remove bony growths under local anesthetic
- Open joint surgery for complex jaw conditions
Orthodontists join the planning phase for jaw surgeries to ensure proper alignment. For children, the clinic has a dedicated department focused on oral health from infancy through adolescence.
Implantology and Prosthetics
The clinic offers several implant-supported solutions for tooth replacement. Surgeons use surgical guides – patient-specific templates – to place implants at the exact depth and angle. This digital planning reduces risks and improves prosthetic fit.
Prosthetic options available at the branches include:
- All-on-Four fixed full-arch restoration using a titanium bar framework
- Implant-supported zirconia crowns shaped using digital impressions
- Permanent bar-retained prostheses for single-arch replacement
- Full porcelain Empress and E-max crowns for high aesthetic transparency
Patients receive Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) during preparation. This technology makes plaque visible, so cleaning is more precise before surgical stages begin.
Specialized Gum and Root Canal Care
For patients with gum disease, the clinic uses laser gum disinfection and biostimulation. These methods treat periodontitis by reducing bacteria without aggressive surgery. Scaling and root planing often combine with laser therapy to reach deep periodontal pockets.
Endodontic specialists handle complex root canal anatomy for both initial treatments and retreatments. The restorative team focuses on aesthetic bonding and veneers. They prioritize zirconia and full ceramic materials to match the natural color of existing teeth.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
The clinic uses digital tools to ensure diagnostic accuracy. CBCT scans provide high-resolution images of the jaw bone for implant planning. Cerec Omnicam technology replaces traditional molds with fast digital impressions.
Additional diagnostic equipment includes:
- DIAGNOCam for early detection of hidden cavities without X-ray radiation
- Panoramic (OPG) and periapical X-rays for baseline assessments
- Electronic axiography for studying jaw movement and joint function
- Florida Probe for computer-assisted measurement of gum health
The facility spans three floors designed for modern equipment and surgical units. Doctors also train other professionals through the clinic's internal academy.
Support for International Patients
The clinic has a dedicated support system for patients visiting from abroad. Staff communicate in English, German, Russian, Arabic, and Turkish. Online booking helps patients coordinate their visit timing.
For those undergoing orthodontic treatment, the clinic provides long-term aftercare instructions. This includes retainers to protect alignment after the active treatment phase ends.
