It is said that “a picture is worth a thousand words”. This is especially true when viewing parts of the mouth and teeth that you may never have seen before. Intraoral cameras can produce a view of any area of the mouth magnified up to 20 times. It allows us to see areas of decay, fractures, cracks, deficient restorations and other details that would escape the scrutiny of the naked eye.
We utilize intraoral camera technology to assist in our diagnosis and help increase your understanding of the problems at hand and the treatment options available. Intraoral camera technology allows us to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth, and gums. With clear, defined, enlarged images, both dentist and patient see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster more accurate diagnosis with less chair-time for you!
Intra oral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. These images can be printed for you, other specialists, and our lab or insurance companies.
