Enhanced Diagnosis Through Intra-Oral Imaging
Intra-oral imaging provides a thorough examination of your oral cavity, the words become more meaningful when you observe what our team observes.
Physically transferring specific conditions to a computer screen brings a level of clarity that traditional mouth mirrors cannot achieve. Our specialized hand-held wands promptly seize the details of your teeth and gums. In fact, even minute cracks that frequently result in broken teeth are remarkably visible with the simple touch of a button.
Additionally, dental insurance benefits frequently acknowledge and approve with the visual evidence of captured images in our records. Please consult our fully-equipped dental office if you require intra-oral imaging for diagnosis.
What is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a valuable tool that offers a detailed view of the inside of your mouth. Unlike a standard examination, these cameras magnify images of your smile, allowing us to identify issues such as decay, cracks, fractures, and other intraoral problems. They are safe, effective, and suitable for patients of all ages.
Why Is an Intraoral Camera Needed?
An intraoral camera is essential for providing a clearer view inside your mouth. Its magnifying capability helps us identify problems more easily and accurately. Additionally, it enables us to show you real-time images of your dental issues, helping you better understand the necessary treatments. This tool plays a crucial role in our daily practice, enhancing both diagnosis and patient communication.
Who is a Candidate for Intraoral Camera Scanning?
Most patients at our office can benefit from intraoral camera scanning. This tool provides a detailed view of the inside of your mouth, allowing us to quickly identify issues and develop tailored treatment plans. The intraoral camera can be used before, during, or after various procedures to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment effectiveness.
What Happens During an Appointment with an Intraoral Camera?
During your appointment at Buda Dental you’ll start by sitting comfortably in one of our examination rooms. We’ll use a handheld intraoral camera, which we gently place inside your mouth. The images captured by the camera are displayed on a screen in the room, allowing you to see exactly what we’re examining. We’ll scan your mouth for any issues and then discuss the findings with you, along with the best treatment options. The process is quick and straightforward, taking just a few minutes.
