Intraoral Camera

 

Intraoral Camera

 

Many patients, especially younger patients, are very familiar with the latest technology and are more comfortable with the high tech practice.  Computers and TV screens are their primary method of information processing.  

Our dentists utilize intraoral camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your diagnosis.  An intraoral camera is a very small camera.  In some cases, an intraoral camera is just a few millimeters long.  This device allows our practice to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth and gums, in order for us to accurately make a diagnosis.  With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations.  This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time for you!

Intraoral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide permanent record of treatments.  These treatments can be printed for you, for other specialists, and even for your lab or insurance companies.
