Intra Oral Camera

An intraoral camera is a small video camera that is used to capture any image in the mouth such as the gum or a tooth. As the camera appears and resembles like an oversized pen, a dentist can easily place it into the patient’s mouth and thoroughly view remote areas of mouth and update the patient about his/her dental conditions like tooth decay, cracked teeth and cavities. The image taken by the intra-oral camera is magnified several times and projected on a high-definition TV for the patient to view even while lying down on the dental chair.

The intraoral camera is not just a great diagnostic and documentation tool but also a fantastic resource for educating patients. We use intra-oral cameras to give a video tour of patients’ entire mouth. Unlike conventional x-ray images that require ample amount of processing time, intraoral camera gives instant images.

An intra-oral camera can also be used to compare before and after photos of restored teeth.

We incorporate intra-oral camera during patient education as a visual image that assist in better understanding of the present condition inside your mouth. It is particularly useful if there are any suspicious findings such as lesions to increase patient awareness.
