Portable & Handheld X-Ray

The portable dental X-ray machine built for daily clinical use

A handheld X-ray goes where wall-mounted units can't — between operatories, to mobile clinics, and around the chair. Meet the XRD 70: FDA 510(k) cleared, 2.3 kg, and serviced in-house in Florida.

Why Handheld

Why practices choose a portable dental X-ray

A wall-mounted unit is fixed in one operatory and needs installation. A handheld dental X-ray moves with your team — no installation, no wall reinforcement, no room left waiting.

One unit, every operatory
A single handheld X-ray can serve several operatories, so many practices add one alongside fixed units — or replace them entirely in smaller offices.
Ready for mobile work
Battery-powered and self-contained, a portable X-ray machine supports mobile dentistry, nursing-home visits, public-health programs, and veterinary dental work.
No installation downtime
Unbox, charge, and shoot. There is no wall mounting, plumbing of arms through walls, or construction schedule — the unit is working the day it arrives.

Buying guides & comparisons

Choosing a handheld X-ray is a long-term decision. These editorial guides from our blog cover the market honestly — specs, pricing, service, and how the XRD 70 stacks up head-to-head.

Complete your imaging setup

Pair the XRD 70 with XRD Imagen intraoral sensors (Size 1 — $5,199, Size 2 — $5,499) and ArchiMED Suite 5 imaging software ($2,290) for a complete digital imaging workflow — the sensor's recommended 60–70 kV range is a perfect match for the XRD 70's output.

Common Questions

Portable dental X-ray machine FAQ

How much does a portable dental X-ray machine cost?
Professional handheld dental X-ray machines typically range from about $4,000 to over $8,000 depending on brand and warranty. The XRD 70 sells for $3,990 (regularly $4,990) with a 2-year warranty, or $4,690 (regularly $5,690) with a 5-year warranty included, with free shipping in the U.S. See current pricing in the store.
What is the difference between a portable and a wall-mounted dental X-ray machine?
A wall-mounted unit is fixed in one operatory and needs installation; a portable handheld unit moves between rooms and to off-site locations with no installation or wall reinforcement. One handheld can serve several operatories and support mobile or veterinary work, which is why many practices add one alongside fixed units.
Is the XRD 70 handheld X-ray FDA cleared?
Yes. The XRD 70 carries FDA 510(k) clearance K231449 and complies with 21 CFR Part 1020. It is sold and serviced from an FDA-registered facility in Clermont, Florida.
Will a handheld dental X-ray work with my existing sensors?
In most cases, yes. Handheld X-ray generators expose the image receptor and are independent of sensor brand, so they work with standard intraoral digital sensors, phosphor storage plates, and traditional film. The XRD 70 works with standard sensors, plates, and film, with no proprietary receptor required.
Can a portable dental X-ray machine be used in veterinary practices?
Yes. Portable handheld units are widely used for companion-animal dental radiography because the operator can position the beam easily around an anesthetized patient. The XRD 70 is used in both human dental and veterinary settings — see our veterinary dental X-ray page.
What warranty comes with the XRD 70 portable X-ray?
Every XRD 70 includes a 2-year standard warranty, extendable to 5 years. It is serviced in-house at our facility in Clermont, Florida, with parts in stock — most repairs are completed within a few business days of receipt.
