A holder for the dental x-ray image receptor which securely retains the digital image receptor for placement in a patient's mouth protecting the plastic barrier from rips or tears and cushioning the image receptor in the patient's oral cavity reducing pain associated with the placement of the image receptor. The dental x-ray holder, generally comprised of elastomeric material, stretches to fit various image receptors. The holder may be molded of one piece which may encase the perimeter of the image receptor encompassing all edges and corners providing an opening to receive the image receptor and accommodate the data cable. The holder may include appendages of varying hardness and density for positioning the image receptor to obtain bitewing and periapical images. This device may be used on its own or by means of slots in various orientations, adapted for use with other holding methods, devices and applications. It may also be simplified to a band encasing the perimeter.
