Drs. Chertok, Aguirre, Chai and Luter may use an intraoral camera when examining your mouth and planning or following-up on your treatments. This imaging technology is designed to capture photos of your teeth and mouth as quickly and comfortably as possible so you can receive the care you need.
What is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small, hand-held device that is equipped with a high-resolution camera that allows our prosthodontists and oral surgeons to capture detailed images inside a patient’s mouth. Its design is specifically tailored to navigate the complex landscape of the mouth, offering unparalleled access to hard-to-reach areas that traditional examination methods may overlook. The images captured by an intraoral camera are displayed in real-time on a computer screen, providing an immediate and clear view of the teeth, gums and other oral structures.
Benefits of Intraoral Cameras
Benefits of intraoral cameras include:
- Enabling a level of detail and precision in diagnosis that would not otherwise be possible.
- Early detection of issues such as cracking, tooth decay and gum disease that allows for earlier treatment and prevention of more serious problems.
- Enhanced patient education – you can see what our doctors see, giving you a better understanding of your oral health and treatment options.
- Improved communication – captured images can be easily shared between doctors and insurance companies.
- Better long-term care planning as the images are saved for ongoing monitoring and comparison over time.
- Greater ease in following up, as the cameras provide invaluable insights into before and after treatment results, ensuring greater precision and patient satisfaction.
