During your dental examination, our dentist and team might use an intraoral camera. These small, pen-shaped devices capture high-quality color images of your teeth and gums. They are highly maneuverable and can access all areas of your mouth, including those that are difficult for the dentist to reach. This imaging technology is comfortable, noninvasive, and can be quickly removed from your mouth as needed.
Intraoral cameras are typically used to:
- Assess your oral health
- Examine hard-to-reach areas of the mouth
- Diagnose dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease
- Identify tooth damage, including cracks or chips
- Monitor progress after treatments are completed
Intraoral cameras are also invaluable educational tools for our dentist and team. The images captured can be displayed almost instantly on a nearby monitor, allowing you to see and understand your oral health and treatment options better. Additionally, these photos can be shared with other dentists, specialists, and insurance companies as needed.
