Our dentists may use an intraoral camera to examine the areas of your mouth that are difficult to see. Intraoral cameras capture high-quality pictures of the inside of your mouth and project these images onto a nearby screen. This allows us to easily identify any abnormalities or problems and provide an appropriate treatment. This technology is also an excellent educational tool, as it allows you to see and understand exactly what is happening in your mouth. To make your appointment with Dr. Daniel Monday or Dr. Stephen Graziani and learn more about intraoral cameras in Charleston, West Virginia, or Hurricane, please call us today at 304-343-1216.
An intraoral camera is a tool we use to get a closer look at different parts of your smile. The intraoral camera is a small, pen-shaped device that we can use to take high-quality color photos of your teeth and gums, as well as other areas of your mouth as needed. Because the intraoral camera is so small and easily maneuverable, we can use it to see angles in your mouth that we cannot easily view with the unaided eye. We may utilize the intraoral camera to better evaluate your oral health and diagnose dental problems like tooth decay and periodontal disease, as well as tooth damage like a cracked or chipped tooth. The intraoral camera is also useful in following up after a treatment has been completed.
In addition to helping our team get a better view of your smile, the images taken with the intraoral camera allow you, our patient, to gain a better understanding of your oral health and dental treatments. We can also send these photos to other dentists and specialists and can submit them to dental insurance companies as needed. To learn more about the uses and benefits of intraoral cameras, we invite you to call or visit our dentists and team soon.
