Intraoral camera

The intra-oral camera makes going to the dentist easier for both our patients and our dentists. We use intra-oral cameras to allow patients to be more interactive in the exam process, which provides patients with a greater sense of understanding about personal dental health. Patients can actually see what our dentist or hygienist is talking about! 

The intra-oral camera is very small and approximately the size of a pen. Because of its small size, the camera can reveal images of the teeth from angles that can't always be seen with the naked eye. It also magnifies the tooth, which allows for better visualization of all surfaces of the teeth.

Early Detection of Dental Health Problems

The intra-oral camera enlarges the inside of the teeth to more than 40 times their actual size on a full color screen display. By zooming in on problem areas in affecting the teeth, our dentists are capable of seeing much more than they could with the human eye alone. Often, dentists find the beginnings of periodontal disease or tooth decay that would have otherwise gone undetected if examined without the intra-oral camera.

Better Patient-Doctor Communication

The intra-oral camera is not just a diagnostic tool, but it also serves as an educational one too. Without an intra-oral camera, some dentists have struggled to explain dental decay and other health problems to patients. Most people cannot see well into their own mouths, which leaves dentists to drawing diagrams or using props to attempt to explain what is going on in the mouth of their patients. 


Better Record Keeping

The intra-oral camera makes record keeping a breeze. Because the camera can take pictures of decay or the beginnings of oral health conditions, images can be printed and placed into patient files. Previously, dentists merely attempted to write an explanation of problems found during exams. Now, our dentists can accurately track the progress of treatments or problems for years following a visit. Furthermore, patients can receive printed pictures of the conditions that the dentist finds, which may be beneficial for filing insurance claims.
