An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device that allows dentists to capture detailed images of the inside of a patient is mouth. This innovative tool aids in diagnosing dental issues in patients, providing a clear and precise view of teeth and gums. Bella Dental uses this advanced technology for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
The procedure involves gently guiding the camera around your mouth to take pictures of hard-to-see areas. These images are displayed on a monitor in real-time, allowing both our dentists and patient to view the condition of the mouth. This interactive approach helps patients understand their treatment and fosters a positive dental experience.
Benefits of the intraoral camera extend beyond its diagnostic capabilities. It also aids in patient education, as patients can see firsthand the effects of good or poor oral hygiene. Additionally, the images captured can be saved, allowing for easy comparison and tracking of oral health over time.
Our dentists and team have seen patients become more engaged and proactive in their dental care when they can visualize the process. For instance, studies have found that the use of intraoral cameras improved patients’ dental health behaviors.
