Why is an Intra-Oral Camera needed?
The reason an intra-oral camera may be needed is because we need to get a better view inside the mouth. Because the camera magnifies what it’s coming into contact with, we are able to spot problems easier and more conveniently. Likewise, we can show you the findings on the camera so that you know more about the treatment that is needed. The camera is an effective tool that we use everyday in our practice.
Who is a candidate for an Intra-Oral Camera scanning?
The majority of patients coming into our office can and will benefit from this intra-oral camera. The camera gives us a clear view of everything and anything going on within the mouth. This helps us to find problems more quickly and create treatment plans according to what it is that you need. The intra-oral camera can be used before, during or even after certain procedures.
What happens during the appointment using an Intra-Oral Camera?
The appointment will begin by you sitting comfortably in one of our examination rooms. We then use a handheld device and place it inside the mouth. The image will show on our computer screen in the room, which allows you to see what is being done and what we’re looking at. We then scan your mouth with the camera, looking for problems and other issues. We then discuss treatment options according to what we find and what works best for you. The camera is easy to use and takes just minutes in our office.
If you would like to come into the office to benefit from our intra-oral camera, call us today so that we can get you in as soon as possible.
