See Your Smile Clearly with Intraoral Camera Technology
It’s difficult to get a good look at the inside of your own mouth, but with an intraoral camera, you’ll see your teeth from a new perspective. The camera isn’t much bigger than a pen, and as we maneuver it around your mouth, you’ll see your teeth displayed on a high-resolution screen. This allows us to explain various factors about your oral health much more thoroughly.
How Many Dentists Use Intraoral Cameras?
A recent survey by Dental Economics and Mouth Watch revealed that the average dental practice has four intraoral cameras. Additionally, 92% of practices use them regularly, with 37% incorporating them into every patient visit.
The Purpose of the Intraoral Camera
Although the risk from traditional dental X-rays is already minimal, digital X-rays make the process even safer. They emit only about 10% of the radiation compared to conventional X-rays, significantly reducing exposure while still delivering clear, detailed images for accurate diagnosis.
The Features of an Intraoral Camera
Intraoral cameras are equipped with advanced technology, including LED lighting, a head that rotates from 0 to 90 degrees, and powerful magnification capabilities, with some models offering up to 100x zoom, allowing your dentist to examine your mouth with exceptional detail.
