Intraoral Cameras Let You See What We See!

It is crucial to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to dental and mouth conditions. At Heritage Dental, we offer intraoral camera services to help you feel confident and informed about your dental health by seeing what we see when we complete an evaluation of your oral health.

Traditionally, dentists have used small, handheld mirrors to see inside and around the mouth. Thanks to advances in dental technology however, we now have other tools for accomplishing this task.

Intraoral cameras are instruments used by dentists to take photographs of the inside of the mouth and around the teeth. This tool often looks similar to a pen in shape and size.

This allows our dentists to obtain much more thorough and detailed images of your mouth’s interior, allowing for better assessments and treatments.

Intraoral cameras provide high resolution images that can be directly transferred onto a monitor or screen as the camera is being used.

This kind of tool is more advantageous than traditional equipment because it also features the ability to magnify and zoom in on areas of the mouth, allowing for more exact analyses and diagnoses to be made by our dental team.

Additionally, intraoral cameras provide images that can then be given to dental insurance providers. This is often necessary when seeking coverage for certain procedures or services.

Intraoral cameras can be used to detect essentially the whole range of potential dental issues, including:

• Deep discolouration
• Gum disease
• Small cracks or fractures in the teeth
• Cavities
• Plaque buildup
• Tissue, gum, or other mouth damage.
