It costs about$132 to take a full-mouth surface tomogram of a tooth. This price is the price for a full-mouth film in the dental department of a tertiary care hospital. If a patient specifies a particular tooth or two teeth to be photographed, it can be done on a small film, and the cost of the small film is about$22. The price varies slightly depending on the hospital where it is located and the level of the hospital, and only up to three teeth can be photographed on a small film. If a patient requires more teeth to be photographed, or different areas, it is recommended that it is more cost effective to photograph the whole mouth. With a full-mouth dental radiograph, the tiny locations and subtle structures are not as clear as they could be with a small radiograph.
