Intraoral Camera Scanning at Dennis Dental Care
At Dennis Dental Care, we prioritize advanced technology to ensure the best care for our patients. One such innovation is the intraoral camera, a small but powerful tool that allows us to get a closer look at your oral health in real-time.
What is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a compact, pen-shaped device equipped with a high-resolution camera that captures detailed images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional mirrors, this camera provides an up-close, clear view of areas that might be difficult to see with the naked eye. These images are displayed on a screen, allowing both you and your dentist to see what’s happening inside your mouth instantly.
Why Is an Intraoral Camera Needed?
Intraoral cameras play a crucial role in early detection and diagnosis. By providing real-time, high-definition images, they help identify cavities, cracks, gum disease, and other dental concerns before they become serious. This tool also improves patient education, as you can visually understand your dental condition and make informed decisions about treatment options.
Who is a Candidate for Intraoral Camera Scanning?
Virtually everyone can benefit from intraoral camera scanning. Whether you're coming in for a routine checkup, experiencing dental pain, or need a more detailed assessment of your oral health, this technology ensures a thorough examination. It is especially beneficial for patients with complex dental issues that require precise monitoring over time.
What Happens During an Appointment with an Intraoral Camera?
During your appointment, your dentist will gently place the intraoral camera inside your mouth to capture images of your teeth and gums. The process is quick, painless, and completely non-invasive. These images are displayed on a screen, allowing your dentist to explain any findings and discuss the next steps for treatment if necessary.
