On a high quality Xray, without any artefacts, a trained, experienced dentist will pick out a hairline fracture. The fact that teeth are not smooth but ridged and uneven makes this difficult. A hairline fracture however needs no treatment and if missed on an Xray has no consequence.

Yes a dental hairline fracture can be seen on an x-ray but the dentist is also able to see a fracture while examining your teeth. Try that first before paying for an x-ray.
