Intraoral cameras allow for improved accuracy in diagnosis, improved visualization of problems, faster response from insurers due to their ability to see first-hand the patient's needs, and more accurate documentation of existing patient conditions.
The intraoral camera headpiece is approximately the size and shape of a dental mirror. It has a built-in light source, and serves as a tiny video camera that allows us to zoom in on one tooth with 25 times magnification, or give you a "video tour" of your entire mouth. The images are displayed on a television or computer monitor, so you'll be able to see problems such as worn or broken fillings, cracked teeth, plaque deposits, cavities next to fillings and excessive wear. We can also print an image for you to take home with you.
