Stay Informed About Your Oral Well-Being With An Intraoral Camera


Are you curious about what our dentist sees during a checkup? Thanks to intraoral cameras in Longmont, CO, now you can see it too!

What Is An Intraoral Camera?

An intraoral camera gives dentists and patients a clear view of the interior of the mouth. It is a small, handheld dental tool that takes quality and detailed images. Dentists often use a mirror tool to see various corners and angles of different parts of the mouth. However, a clearer, more precise view is sometimes needed to diagnose oral health issues. Intraoral cameras include the following:

  • Versatile Control: Intraoral cameras are much smaller and can be maneuvered to fit easily into a dental patient’s mouth. This allows our doctor to move around the mouth and view different parts of it clearly.
  • Illuminates Mouth: In addition to the camera component, the wand also has a light that illuminates the areas of the mouth it is pointed toward. Not only does the light make it easier to see the mouth interior, but many are specially designed to indicate whether a tooth is healthy or not. A tooth will appear in a different color if it is diseased, making for an easy diagnosis.
  • Added To Patient Records: Images from intraoral cameras can be captured and added as files to a patient’s records. These images can be still or video images. The camera also gives our dentist the ability to zoom into areas of interest for a better, more precise look.

What Oral Health Issues Can This Tool Detect?

  • Fractures, failing restorations, and tooth decay
  • Inflamed tissues and gum disease
  • Oral cancer

Even better, patients can view the real-time images from the camera on a screen next to them. These are the same images that our dentist reference for their diagnoses. As such, our dentist can point out areas of your mouth to provide a better visual understanding of your oral health.
