Intraoral Camera Richardson
A Modern Way to Examine Your Mouth
At Richland Dental, our team is dedicated to providing you with a better understanding of your smile, and one of the ways we’re able to do that is by taking intraoral photos. Our intraoral camera allows our dentists to gain a more detailed view of your mouth to accurately diagnose dental health problems and serve as an educational resource to better explain issues you may face and treatments we may recommend. We invite you to learn just how much intraoral cameras can change your dental experience at our office in Richardson by reading below.
What is an Intraoral Camera?
When examining your teeth and mouth, our dentists and team may use an intraoral camera. These are small, pen-shaped devices used to take high-quality color photos of your teeth and gums. They are easily maneuverable and can be used to view all areas of your mouth, including the areas that are otherwise impossible for our dentists to reach. This imaging technology is also comfortable and noninvasive, and the camera can be removed quickly from your mouth as needed.
How We Use Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras are most commonly used to:
- Evaluate your oral health.
- Examine difficult-to-reach areas of the mouth.
- Diagnose dental problems, including tooth decay and gum disease.
- Diagnose tooth damage such as cracked or chipped teeth.
- Follow up on treatments after completion.
Intraoral cameras are also one of the most useful educational tools our dentists and team use. The images captured by the camera can be displayed almost instantly on a nearby monitor, allowing you to see for yourself what is happening in your mouth and better understand your oral health and treatment options. Additionally, the photos can be sent to other dentists, specialists, and insurance companies as needed.
