We use intraoral cameras, so when you visit the dentist, you can sit comfortably back in the chair and see parts of your mouth you would never be able to see normally. The dentist or hygienist will insert a pen-sized, camera-tipped wand into your mouth. Covered with a disposable plastic sheath for contamination prevention, the wand simply takes a video of the inside of your mouth and transmits the images via cable to a computer. The computer enlarges the full-color images and sends them to a Monitor that you can comfortably view from the dental chair. The dentist can point out problem areas and explain his/her recommendations for treatment, so you’ll become informed in your dental care.

Seeing your dental problems may seem overwhelming at first, but consider this the first step toward a healthier, fresher smile. The camera may reveal the early stages of potentially serious problems, allowing you the opportunity to prevent small problems before they escalate. This is especially helpful with gum disease and conditions that cause damage without causing pain. The camera's honest survey can also show you how your regular home hygiene routine is paying off.
