Intraoral Cameras

Intraoral cameras are revolutionizing routine dental appointments by providing patients with a detailed view of their teeth, enabling a better understanding of diagnoses and treatment decisions.

The camera is a pen-sized wand connected to a computer, creating a movie of your mouth. It can magnify teeth more than 30x, showing every detail in full color. This technology brings dentistry to life by exposing hidden problems, aiding in treatment planning, and tracking progress.

Uses of Intraoral Cameras

  • Dental Education: Highlights areas needing better hygiene before serious treatment is required.
  • Exposing Hidden Problems: Early detection of gum disease and oral cancer.
  • Treatment Planning: Helps patients understand why certain treatments are recommended.
  • Assessing Progress: Ensures treatments achieve desired results.
  • Eliminating Uncertainty: Patients can see problem areas for themselves, reducing fear of unnecessary treatments.
  • Referrals to Specialists: Clear images reduce consultation times and costs.

How Is the Camera Used?

The slim wand, covered with a disposable sheath for hygiene, is rotated inside your mouth to capture images, which are displayed on a screen. The images can be magnified to explore any noticeable problems, and no radiation is involved.
