Best Dental X-Ray Machines for Small Clinics in Australia
Small space, tight budget, big expectations? You're not alone.
Plenty of Aussie clinics are opening in compact shopfronts, medical suites, or shared rooms. That doesn’t mean you have to compromise on imaging quality.
What to Look For in a Small Clinic Setup
- Compact footprint: Wall-mounted or mobile units save space
- Ease of installation: Choose plug-and-play units if you rent
- Reliability: Less downtime, fewer service calls
- Digital sensor compatibility: Make sure it integrates with your system
Top X-Ray Machines for Small Dental Clinics
- MyRay Hyperion X5: A compact panoramic unit designed for tight spaces. Wall-mounted, fast scans, and perfect for general or ortho screening.
- Acteon X-Mind Unity + Sopix Sensor: Combines an intraoral X-ray with an intelligent digital sensor system. High image quality and radiation dose tracking built-in.
- Trident I-Max Touch 3D: This compact CBCT unit handles 2D and 3D. Good for growing clinics offering implants and advanced treatment.
- Planmeca ProX: Reliable, simple, and ideal for everyday intraoral work. Works seamlessly with Planmeca sensors and software.
- Port-X IV Handheld X-Ray (Vatech): Battery-powered and portable — perfect for mobile setups, aged care, or clinics that shift between rooms.
Our Take:
Start with a quality intraoral system — it’s your most used diagnostic tool.
If space and budget allow, add panoramic for broader screening.
And if you’re planning implants or full-mouth rehabs, CBCT could be your next move.
