Intraoral Camera

While X-rays provide valuable information that we cannot receive from other sources, they cannot show you everything that is going on in your mouth.  That is why we have invested in intraoral cameras.  These cameras are highly advanced pieces of diagnostic equipment that allows you to see what we see inside your mouth.

The intraoral camera handpiece is approximately the size and shape of a dental mirror.  It has a built-in light source and serves as a tiny video camera that allows us to zoom in on one tooth or give you a video tour of your entire mouth.  The images are displayed on a television or computer monitor, so you will be able to see issues such as worn or broken fillings, cracked teeth, plaque deposits, cavities next to fillings and excessive wear and tear.  We can also print an image for you to take home with you.

The intraoral camera allows you to be an active partner in your dental health and treatment by enabling you to see what we see inside your mouth.  With a clear understanding of your dental conditions, you will be able to make educated treatment decisions with confidence.
