Have you ever wondered how dentists get such clear views of your mouth? That is thanks to intraoral cameras. These cameras are wand-like, handheld devices that capture high-resolution images of specific teeth from the inside of your mouth. Now you can see exactly what your Dr. Jeff Tippets sees!
So, how do these magical cameras work? The camera, about the size of a pen, is equipped with a tiny lens and a bright LED light. Our dentist will gently maneuver the camera around your mouth, capturing images of your teeth, gums and any problem areas.
But why are intraoral cameras such a big deal? Well, for starters, they make dental exams a breeze. Instead of squinting and straining to see what’s going on in your mouth, our dentist can zoom in on specific areas with crystal-clear precision. Plus, they allow for better communication between you and your dental team. And let us not forget about prevention. By catching dental issues early on, intraoral cameras help prevent bigger problems down the road.
