What is an Intra-Oral Camera?

An intra-oral camera is a valuable diagnostic tool that allows us to view detailed images of the inside of your mouth. Unlike traditional examinations, this camera magnifies and illuminates the areas it examines, making it easier to identify issues such as decay, cracks, breaks, and other oral problems. Safe and effective for patients of all ages, the intra-oral camera provides a comprehensive look at your dental health.

Why is an Intra-Oral Camera needed?

An intra-oral camera is essential for gaining a clearer view of your mouth's interior. Its magnification capabilities help us detect dental issues more accurately and conveniently. Additionally, the camera allows us to show you real-time images of your mouth, helping you understand the condition of your teeth and any necessary treatments. It is a routine tool in our practice for precise diagnosis and patient education.

Who is a candidate for an Intra-Oral Camera scanning?

Most patients benefit from intra-oral camera scans. This tool is useful for a thorough examination of your oral health, whether before, during, or after certain procedures. It helps us quickly identify and address dental issues, creating effective treatment plans tailored to your needs.

What happens during the appointment using an Intra-Oral Camera?

During your appointment, you will be seated comfortably in one of our examination rooms. We use a handheld intra-oral camera, which we place inside your mouth to capture images. These images are displayed on a computer screen, allowing you to see what we are observing. The scanning process takes just a few minutes, and we will review the findings with you to discuss appropriate treatment options based on what we see.
