What Are Intraoral Cameras?
Intraoral cameras are small, pen-shaped devices that allow our dentist and team to capture high-quality images of your mouth in real-time. These cameras provide a detailed view of teeth, gums and other areas that may be difficult to see with the naked eye. We use intraoral cameras in Bellflower, California, to enhance both diagnostic accuracy and patient education. The camera’s ability to display images on a monitor allows patients to better understand their oral health and become active participants in their treatment plans.
How Intraoral Cameras Work
During your examination, we will gently guide the intraoral camera around your mouth to capture images from different angles. The camera transmits these images to a screen, giving both you and our dentist a close-up view of your teeth and gums. This non-invasive process is quick and painless, providing valuable insights without the need for large, bulky equipment. The detailed images can also be stored in your dental records, allowing for easy tracking of changes over time.
Benefits of Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras offer numerous benefits for patients and dental professionals:
- Enhanced diagnostics: The high-resolution images help identify issues such as cavities, cracks and gum disease early.
- Improved patient education: Seeing images of your mouth helps you better understand your treatment needs.
- Detailed treatment planning: We can develop more precise treatment plans based on the close-up images.
- Non-invasive: The compact size of the camera ensures a comfortable experience during examinations.
- Easily shared information: Images can be shared with specialists or insurance providers for better coordination of care.
