Intraoral cameras help us give our patients a clear, close-up view of their oral health. A high-resolution camera on top of the small, pen-sized device captures detailed images of the teeth, gums, and other structures inside the mouth. Unlike traditional dental mirrors, which offer a limited view, an intraoral camera can reach difficult areas and display images in real time.
The images taken by the intraoral camera help both the dentist and patient better understand what’s happening inside the mouth. We use intraoral cameras during routine checkups, cosmetic consultations, and before and after treatments to monitor progress. Common ways we use it to diagnose and plan treatment include:
- Identifying early signs of decay
- Spotting hairline cracks in teeth
- Documenting gum disease
Patients appreciate being able to see what their dentist sees, and the intraoral camera makes explanations more straightforward and empowering.
We can also use this tool to store detailed photos in your digital file, making it easy to track changes in your oral health over time. It’s just one of the many ways Logan Family Dental combines modern technology with personalized care.
