Intraoral Camera
Get a Closer Look at Your Smile
Intraoral cameras are transforming routine dental visits by offering patients a detailed view of each tooth, helping them understand their diagnoses and make informed treatment decisions.
The intraoral camera, shaped like a slim pen, is fitted with a disposable sheath to prevent cross-contamination between patients. This small, flexible device is gently guided through the mouth, capturing clear, detailed images of each tooth. The images are displayed on a screen in real-time, allowing the dentist to pause and magnify specific areas to discuss any issues. One key benefit of the intraoral camera is that it doesn’t expose patients to radiation, making it a safe and versatile diagnostic tool.
