An intraoral camera is a small digital device we use to capture close-up images of the inside of your mouth. The camera is about the size of a pen, and we can comfortably move it around your mouth to obtain detailed images of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures.
We display the images on a monitor, allowing both of us to view areas of concern and discuss potential treatment options when appropriate.
Our intraoral cameras provide enlarged images that may help us evaluate your teeth, gums, and other oral structures during examinations.
We display images on a monitor so you can see what we see, which may help improve your understanding of your oral health conditions and recommended care.

We can securely store digital images in your patient record and use them to help monitor oral health changes over time.
The camera is designed for gentle, non-invasive use to capture images without surgical or invasive procedures.
