What Is an Intra-Oral Camera?

Seeing What a Regular Exam Misses

An intra-oral camera lets us see everything going on inside your mouth. Rather than a typical examination, this camera magnifies whatever it looks at, so we can spot decay, cracks, breaks, and fractures along with other problems that are easy to miss by eye.

It's safe, effective, and can be used on patients of all ages. Most people coming into our office benefit from it, and we use it before, during, and even after certain procedures.

01
Step
Settle In
You sit comfortably in one of our examination rooms. Nothing about this part is different from a normal check-up.
02
Step
The Handheld Camera
We place a small handheld device inside your mouth and scan gently, looking for problems and other issues.
03
Step
On the Screen Beside You
The image shows on the computer screen in the room, so you can see exactly what we're looking at as we go.
04
Step
Discussing What We Found
We talk through treatment options based on what the camera shows and what works best for you.
Why Is an Intra-Oral Camera Needed?

What magnification actually changes

01
Problems Spotted Sooner
Magnifying what the camera touches makes decay, cracks, and fractures easier to catch while they're still small.
02
You See the Findings
We show you what's on screen, so you understand why a treatment is being recommended rather than just being told.
03
Used at Every Stage
Before, during, or after a procedure. It's a tool we use every day in the practice, not something reserved for complex cases.
04
Safe for All Ages
There's no radiation involved, so it can be used on children and adults alike as often as needed.
