Our experienced dentist and team may use an intraoral camera to view your teeth and mouth in detail. This technology helps ensure that we understand your oral health needs and can provide you with the quality care you need to enjoy a healthy smile.
What Is An Intraoral Camera?
Intraoral cameras are small, pen-shaped imaging devices. These cameras are easily maneuverable, allowing our dentist to view all areas of your mouth, including those that are otherwise not visible. Intraoral cameras capture pictures of your teeth and mouth in full color, making it easier for our dentist and team to diagnose developing problems, provide care and follow-up on your treatments.
When Are Intraoral Cameras Used?
Intraoral cameras are used to view angles and places in your mouth that are not normally reachable during visual examinations. Our dentist can use the captured images to evaluate your oral health and diagnose problems such as tooth decay, tooth damage and periodontal disease. Intraoral cameras are also used as an educational tool, as the captured images are transmitted immediately to a nearby monitor where you can view them alongside our dentist and team to understand what is happening in your mouth.
Benefits of Intraoral Cameras
Benefits of using intraoral cameras include:
- Increased comfort, as the imaging device is small, easily maneuverable and can be removed as needed.
- Higher quality of care – the cameras can reach all areas of your mouth, allowing for faster and more accurate diagnosis of developing problems and more effective treatment plans.
- Improved patient education – captured images are transmitted immediately to a computer where you can view them alongside our dentist to understand what is happening in your mouth.
- Improved communication – captured images can be sent to other doctors, specialists and insurance companies with ease.
