I have a dental office looking to scan and archive their x-rays and they also need an all-in-one so I am wondering if this model can do a decent job. Has anyone used these models for that?

I dont think, that this will work very well, because you will need a backlight to scan the the x ray films, like scanning a dia or a photo film negative.
If sometimes you feel a little useless, offended and depressed always remember that you were once the fastest and most victorious sperm of hundreds of millions!
See if they can give you a sample, so that You can test it with various models.
That may be much easier said than done, though, with HIPPA rules being what they are.

Thanks, I will have to do the testing unless someone can let me know how it went when they tried.
An X-Ray is a transparency and you will need a backlight behind the film to scan, so the light is transmitted through the X-Ray Film to the scanner head!
From a quick search I've done, the prices range anywhere from $5k--$15k for a decent machine!
Apparently, your clients don't want to pay the price for the specialized item and want to "cheap-out"....it ain't gonna happen!
They are better off leasing a machine and hiring someone to specialize in getting the job done right!

qbert is bang on, a CCD could never be expected to scan that kind of image - they'd need something like this:

It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
Not sure I would trust the quality of a scanned image from this device for medical diagnostics, but you might test it with leaving the lid up and placing a bright spot/flood light above it. And scan it in grayscale, not text.
What about an A4 sized mirror?
