Intra-Oral Cameras
See What We See — In Real Time
High-resolution imaging for better diagnosis, better understanding, and better care.
Intra-oral cameras give our team — and our patients — a clear, magnified view of the inside of the mouth. This small, handheld device allows us to capture high-quality images of teeth, gums, and hard-to-see areas, helping us detect issues like decay, fractures, or inflammation earlier and more accurately. At Quarryville Family Dentistry, we use intra-oral cameras not only for diagnosis, but also to help you better understand your oral health and feel more involved in your treatment plan. It’s a fast, painless tool that makes your dental visit more informative and transparent.
What is an Intra-Oral Camera?
Intra-oral cameras are helpful in allowing us to see everything going on inside your mouth. Rather than a typical examination, this camera magnifies everything that it looks at concerning your smile. This allows us to see areas of decay, cracks, breaks and fractures as well as other intra-oral problems. The camera is safe, effective and can be used on patients of all ages.
Why is an Intra-Oral Camera needed?
The reason an intra-oral camera may be needed is because we need to get a better view inside the mouth. Because the camera magnifies what it's coming into contact with, we are able to spot problems easier and more conveniently. Likewise, we can show you the findings on the camera so that you know more about the treatment that is needed. The camera is an effective tool that we use everyday in our practice.
Who is a candidate for an Intra-Oral Camera scanning?
The majority of patients coming into our office can and will benefit from this intra-oral camera. The camera gives us a clear view of everything and anything going on within the mouth. This helps us to find problems more quickly and create treatment plans according to what it is that you need. The intra-oral camera can be used before, during or even after certain procedures.
What happens during the appointment using an Intra-Oral Camera?
The appointment will begin by you sitting comfortably in one of our examination rooms. We then use a handheld device and place it inside the mouth. The image will show on our computer screen in the room, which allows you to see what is being done and what we're looking at.
We then scan your mouth with the camera, looking for problems and other issues. We then discuss treatment options according to what we find and what works best for you. The camera is easy to use and takes just minutes in our office.
