See What We See: The Power of the Intraoral Camera
At Confidence Family Dentistry, we believe that an informed patient is a healthy patient. That’s why we’ve incorporated advanced diagnostic tools like the intraoral camera into our practice. This small, pen-sized camera allows us to show you a live, up-close view of your teeth and gums on a monitor right next to your dental chair. For the first time, you can see exactly what our team sees.
What Is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a tiny, high-resolution digital camera that takes clear images and video inside your mouth. The images are instantly displayed on a screen, allowing you to see the current condition of your teeth and gums in stunning detail.
The Benefits of Seeing for Yourself
The intraoral camera is a powerful tool for both diagnosis and patient education. Its use provides a number of key benefits for you:
- Complete Transparency: We can show you a clear, magnified view of a cracked tooth, a failing filling, or areas where plaque has built up. This removes any guesswork and allows you to clearly see and understand the diagnosis.
- Enhanced Communication: Instead of simply telling you about a problem, we can show you. This helps us have a more productive and educational conversation about your oral health, allowing you to ask questions and feel confident about your treatment plan.
- Early Detection: The camera can capture clear images of hard-to-reach areas and can spot small problems, like a hairline fracture or early-stage decay, long before they become visible to the naked eye or cause pain.
- Empowered Decision-Making: When you can see the issue for yourself, you are better equipped to make a confident, informed decision about your treatment options.
Putting You in Control of Your Oral Health
Imagine being able to see a small crack on your molar or the subtle signs of gum inflammation. The intraoral camera makes this possible. It’s not just a diagnostic tool; it’s a communication tool that puts you in control of your dental care.
We are committed to providing you with the most advanced and transparent care possible. Experience the difference that our technology-enhanced approach can make.
