Intraoral Camera
Good information leads to good decisions, especially with your oral health. Our intraoral camera helps us show you detailed images of your teeth and gums, making it easier to explain what we see during your exam.
It gives you a clearer understanding of your oral health and helps us catch small concerns before they become bigger issues.
What Is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a slim, pen-sized device that takes high-resolution photos and videos inside your mouth. It allows us to examine hard-to-see areas clearly by displaying the images on a nearby screen.
With an intraoral camera, we can spot concerns such as small cavities, early cracks, worn fillings, plaque buildup, inflamed gums, and other changes that may not be visible during a traditional visual exam.
You can view the images right alongside us, making it easier to understand your oral health and the next steps in your care.
Is the Camera Uncomfortable?
No, since the device is smooth, compact, and designed to rest comfortably in your mouth. Most patients are surprised by how quick and easy the process feels.
Do Intraoral Cameras Replace X-Rays?
Digital X-rays and intraoral cameras work together, but they do different things. The camera shows surface-level details, while X-rays capture what’s happening beneath the gums and inside the teeth. Using both gives us the most complete picture of your oral health.
