Diagnostic Records

Depending on the particular problems presented, various diagnostic "records" are needed to arrive at a treatment plan. These may include:

1. Study models- These are plaster molds of the patient's teeth from which we can get an accurate 3D image of the problems.
2. Cephalometric radiograph- This x-ray allows us to measure the patient's facial structure and predict growth patterns.
3. Panoramic or full mouth x-ray- These x-rays show the roots and bone support of the teeth.
4. Photographs of the face and teeth- These are necessary to evaluate the esthetic relationship of the teeth to the face and smile.

Fees for diagnostic records range between $100 and $300 depending on what is required.
