At our dental office, we believe that clarity and comfort go hand in hand when it comes to your oral health. One of the most helpful tools we use to evaluate your smile is the intraoral camera. This small, pen-like device allows our dentist and team to capture high-resolution, full-color images of your teeth, gums and other areas of your mouth. Because of its compact size and flexible design, the intraoral camera can reveal angles and surfaces that may be difficult to see otherwise — even with a traditional dental mirror.
How Intraoral Cameras Help You Understand Your Health
One of the greatest benefits of intraoral cameras is that they allow you to see what we see. The detailed images are displayed on a screen during your appointment, giving you a real-time look at your oral condition. Whether we are identifying early signs of tooth decay, checking for gum disease or documenting a chipped or fractured tooth, the intraoral camera helps create a more transparent and informative experience for you. You will be able to make informed decisions about your care with the visual support of these precise images.
Better Communication & Documentation
Intraoral cameras also improve communication with other dental professionals. If you require treatment from a specialist or need a second opinion, we can easily share your images. These photos also assist in the insurance process by providing visual proof of a diagnosis or completed procedure. This can help with claim approvals and reduce delays.
Gentle, Safe & Noninvasive
Using the intraoral camera is quick, safe and entirely comfortable. The device does not involve radiation and it never causes pain. It simply takes photos of your mouth while we gently move it around. We often use it during your dental cleanings, exams and evaluations to track changes in your smile over time.
