About the same size as a marker, intraoral cameras are digital imaging tools used to create high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, and other hard-to-reach places in your mouth. Intraoral cameras help dental professionals detect dental issues, such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral cancer. Other great benefits include:
- You can see, with precision, where you need to focus on brushing or flossing.
- You can see the difference before and after treatment.
- You can see magnified images of your teeth and gums, which helps dental professionals diagnose gum disease and cavities, and if caught early, can help prevent them.
- These photos provide proof for insurance companies to give you the coverage you need.
- Intraoral cameras also limit your time in the office because the images are produced in real-time, and the outcomes are available almost immediately.
