Ceph X-ray machines are used by dental professionals to capture the side of the face, including the neck, face, and jaw. Cephalometric scans help diagnose and treat neck and jaw cases as well as orthodontic work and are therefore common among orthodontists, oral surgeons, and general practitioners.
Today, taking a cephalometric X-ray can either be done with a ceph attachment, either built into a 2D panoramic machine or a 3D CBCT system, depending on the imaging needs of your practice. And, as an essential tool for many dental professionals, many brands have developed quality X-ray machines with ceph attachments. Below, we’re sharing the average cost dental professionals pay for ceph X-ray machines.
The Average Cost of a 2D-Only Pan/Ceph Machine
Choosing a 2D-only pan/ceph X-ray machine will help you reduce your initial investment cost, but limit your scanning to 2D only. With a ceph attachment, the price you’ll pay will exceed the investment for a 2D panoramic.
Dental professionals researching 2D-only pan/ceph machines will find a wide variety of brands and features. Finding a reputable brand with a comfortable mix of features, the price you can expect to pay for a new pan/ceph X-ray machine will range from $30,000 to $50,000. There are also brands and models available which allow you to purchase 2D pan/ceph today but are later upgradeable to 3D CBCT so your machine can grow with your practice.
The Average Cost of a 3D CBCT with Ceph
Making the investment in CBCT can be a significant purchase for a practice. Offering this advanced imaging technology to patients could allow you to expand your service offering as well as retain more patients in-house.
The price you’ll pay for 3D imaging is higher than 2D only. This cost also scales based on your desired field-of-view (FOV), ranging in three sizes: small, medium, and large. As the FOV increases, so does the cost of the machine.
Generally, you can expect to pay between $50,000 to $100,000 for a small to midsize CBCT machine with a ceph attachment from a reputable brand.
