How the Intraoral Camera Works<\/span><\/h2>\n

In dentistry, a picture is worth a thousand words. It\u2019s hard to have a conversation about your oral health if we can\u2019t show you exactly what\u2019s going on — we want to let you see precisely where you may need a treatment, and why. Our small handheld mirrors only go so far. <\/span><\/p>\n

The intraoral camera solves the problem. It\u2019s a small tool that is hooked up to a screen located right at your chairside. Your dentist or hygienist runs the camera over the affected area, showing you in clear images just why you need a proposed treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to letting you see inside your mouth, the intraoral camera also allows your dentist to get a magnified view of your teeth to catch potential problems earlier than ever. Issues that may otherwise go unnoticed — like <\/span>cracked teeth<\/span><\/a>, small cavities, old, leaking fillings, and other problems — show up sooner on the intraoral camera. And whatever\u2019s going on, early detection helps us ensure you receive the most conservative treatment possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Involving You In Your Treatment Plan<\/span><\/h2>\n

We know successful treatment plans require, first and foremost, informed patients. Only when you are armed with all the knowledge can you make the smartest decisions for your oral health. You\u2019ll find it\u2019s easier to ask informed questions when you can see the inside of your mouth in real time right in front of you, and that means you will never leave our office with any doubts surrounding your oral health. <\/span><\/p>\n
