What is an Intraoral Camera?
Intraoral cameras are valuable tools that provide a detailed view of the inside of your mouth. Unlike a standard examination, these cameras magnify images of your smile, enabling us to identify issues such as decay, cracks, fractures, and other intraoral problems. They are safe, effective, and suitable for patients of all ages.
Why Is an Intraoral Camera Needed?
An intraoral camera is needed to provide a clearer view inside your mouth. Its magnifying capability helps us identify problems more easily and accurately. Additionally, it allows us to show you real-time images of your dental issues, helping you better understand the necessary treatments. This tool is an essential part of our daily practice, enhancing both diagnosis and patient communication.
Who is a Candidate for Intraoral Camera Scanning?
Most patients at our office can benefit from intraoral camera scanning. This tool provides a detailed view of the inside of your mouth, allowing us to quickly identify issues and develop tailored treatment plans. The intraoral camera can be utilized before, during, or after various procedures to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment effectiveness.
What Happens During an Appointment with an Intraoral Camera?
During your appointment, you’ll start by sitting comfortably in one of our examination rooms. We’ll use a handheld intraoral camera, which we gently place inside your mouth. The images captured by the camera are displayed on a screen in the room, allowing you to see exactly what we’re examining. We’ll scan your mouth for any issues or problems and then discuss the findings with you, along with the best treatment options. The process is quick and straightforward, taking just minutes.
