Intraoral Camera: Unveiling a New Dimension of Precision Dentistry
What is an Intraoral Camera?
At Edmonds Bay Dental, we are committed to embracing cutting-edge technology to provide our patients with the best possible dental care experience. One such technological marvel in our arsenal is the Intraoral Camera – a revolutionary tool that allows us to explore dentistry with unparalleled precision and clarity.
An intraoral camera is a compact, pen-sized device equipped with a tiny camera at its tip. This camera captures high-resolution images from inside your mouth, providing an up-close and detailed view of your teeth and oral structures. The images are instantly transmitted to a computer screen, allowing both you and our dental team to see the condition of your oral health in real-time.
How is the Intraoral Camera Used?
During your dental examination or procedure, our skilled dental professionals use the intraoral camera to capture images of specific areas inside your mouth. The process is painless, quick, and incredibly informative. The images obtained help us diagnose dental issues at their early stages, ensuring proactive and precise treatment.
Key uses of the intraoral camera include:
Early Detection of Dental Issues: The camera allows us to identify dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and cracks in their early stages, facilitating prompt intervention.
Patient Education: Seeing is believing. The intraoral camera enables us to show you the images of your teeth and gums, helping you better understand your oral health condition and any recommended treatments.
Treatment Planning: The detailed images aid in formulating comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your unique dental needs.
Monitoring Progress: For patients undergoing specific dental treatments, the intraoral camera assists in monitoring progress, ensuring the success of the chosen interventions.
