What They Do
When a patient can see what the dentist sees, treatment conversations become clearer. No more wondering what "that spot in the back" actually looks like.
The camera captures magnified, high-resolution images of the teeth and gum tissue. Cracks, worn enamel, old failing restorations, areas of concern around existing crowns, and early signs of decay that might be invisible to the naked eye from across the room can be seen clearly on screen.
Why It Matters
Patients who can see the condition of their own teeth make more informed decisions about their care. There is no ambiguity about what is happening or why something is being recommended. The image speaks for itself.
Intraoral cameras also help catch problems early. A small crack visible on camera today is a manageable problem. The same crack left unmonitored can propagate into a fracture that requires extraction.
The images are saved to your chart. That means changes over time can be compared, and concerns identified at one appointment are documented for follow-up.
