Advanced Intraoral Camera Technology
Many dental conditions do not cause pain right away, and some are difficult to notice with the naked eye. An intraoral camera helps bridge that gap by giving you a clear view of what is happening inside your mouth. The camera connects to a nearby monitor, so you can see images instantly during your exam.
This makes it easier to understand our recommendations and feel confident about next steps, even if you are not experiencing any discomfort.
Instant viewing

Early insight

What Is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a compact imaging device that captures close-up photos of the inside of your mouth. Unlike x-rays, which reveal internal structures, an intraoral camera shows the surfaces of your teeth and gums in high detail. This is especially helpful for explaining conditions such as cracks, wear, cavities, gum inflammation, and the health of existing restorations.
Because the images are magnified and well-lit, subtle changes become easier to see, which supports earlier detection and more informed treatment planning.
- Identify tooth decay, cracks, and wear
- Evaluate gum health and inflammation
- Review fillings, crowns, and restorations
- Show before-and-after comparisons

A Helpful Tool for Prevention & Education
Intraoral cameras can be valuable for capturing “before and after” images, discussing treatment options, and creating a clearer picture of your dental health.
