Clarity builds confidence. Our high-resolution intraoral cameras let you see what your dentists sees—up close and in real time. These small, comfortable devices capture crisp images of your teeth and gums, helping us explain findings clearly and empowering you to make informed decisions about your care.
Why It Matters
Visual information turns abstract dental terms into something you can understand instantly. Magnified images reveal cracks, early decay, worn or leaking fillings, plaque buildup, and signs of gum inflammation that are difficult to appreciate in a mirror. Because you can review images alongside our team, you’re better equipped to choose preventive steps or treatment before problems become painful or costly.
How the Technology Works
Our camera features a slim, rounded tip that comfortably fits in the mouth. With soft LED lighting (no radiation), it captures detailed photos and short video clips as we examine your teeth. The images display on a chairside screen so we can point out areas of concern, compare before-and-after photos, and save images to your secure records for future reference.
Your Experience
The process is quick, noninvasive, and educational. Most image sets take only a few minutes and often streamline your appointment by reducing back-and-forth explanations. Because the photos are part of your digital chart, we can easily track changes over time, monitor small areas conservatively, and show you progress after treatment or home-care improvements.
How Intraoral Imaging Supports Better Care
By catching issues earlier, intraoral cameras help minimize the need for extensive treatment. We can spot a tiny fracture line before it becomes a full break, identify marginal staining that suggests a filling may need attention, and highlight plaque retention areas that benefit from technique tweaks or professional cleanings. For cosmetic cases, we use images to plan precisely, set expectations, and celebrate results together.
