Request an AppointmentMany patients find it difficult to picture a dental problem they cannot see for themselves. You may not believe you have dental disease until you see the pictures. The intraoral camera removes that uncertainty, helping you better understand your diagnosis and feel more confident about the care we recommend. It also makes it easier to have a clear, informed conversation about your treatment options.
Our camera is also very helpful when we are tracking a disease’s progress. We can take before and after pictures to determine if the treatment is working and see how far your mouth has come, which helps us decide if more treatment or a different type of treatment is needed. If you decide to get a complicated procedure, a picture may help you see what you really cannot see otherwise. The intraoral camera pairs perfectly with our digital X-rays and routine cleanings and exams for complete, informed care.
