An intraoral camera is an advanced tool we use to closely examine different areas of your mouth. Shaped like a small pen, this device captures high-quality, color images of your teeth, gums and other parts of your oral cavity. The intraoral camera’s compact size and maneuverability allow us to view hard-to-see angles that are difficult to inspect with the naked eye.
Using the intraoral camera, we can better assess your oral health and accurately diagnose conditions such as tooth decay, periodontal disease and tooth damage like cracks or chips. This tool is also invaluable for monitoring the progress and outcomes of treatments, ensuring that we provide you with the highest level of dental care.
The benefits of the intraoral camera extend beyond just diagnosis and treatment. The clear images taken by the camera are an excellent educational tool. Our dentist will share these images with you, giving you a better understanding of your oral health. This visual aid can help you see exactly what we see, making it easier for you to comprehend the need for specific treatments and the condition of your mouth. These images can also be shared with other dental professionals and specialists if a referral is necessary, and they can be submitted to insurance companies to support your claims.
At our office, we believe in using the latest technology to enhance your dental experience and improve your care. The intraoral camera is just one example of how we leverage advanced tools to ensure your oral health is in excellent condition. If you have any questions about the intraoral camera or other dental technologies we use, please do not hesitate to call or visit us. We are here to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
