What Are Intraoral Cameras?

Intraoral cameras are an imaging device used to capture and view pictures of your teeth and mouth. The camera is a small, pen-shaped device that is easily maneuverable, allowing our dentist to reach all areas of your mouth with ease, including those areas that could not otherwise be viewed. The camera takes high-quality color photos of your mouth so that our dentist and team can understand your oral health needs, make diagnoses and provide your treatments.

When Are Intraoral Cameras Used?

Intraoral cameras are typically used to evaluate your oral health and diagnose problems such as tooth decay, periodontal disease and tooth damage. The camera is also useful in following-up on previously provided treatments. Additionally, intraoral cameras are an excellent educational tool, as they allow you to see what our dentist and team see in real time so that you can understand what is happening in your mouth and make informed decisions about your care.

Intraoral cameras also facilitate easier treatment planning and communication, as the photos can be sent to other dentists and to specialists, as well as to insurance companies as needed.
