Seeing is believing — especially when it comes to your oral health. At Smile On Dental Salon & Sleep Apnea Center, we use high-resolution intraoral cameras to give you a clearer view of your smile. These handheld cameras allow us to capture detailed images of your teeth and gums in real-time, helping you better understand any issues and make informed decisions about your care.
What Is an Intraoral Camera?
Small Camera, Big Impact
An intraoral camera is a pen-sized device that takes close-up photos and videos inside your mouth. These images are displayed on a chairside monitor, so you can see exactly what we see during your exam. Whether it’s a small cavity, a crack in a filling, or signs of gum inflammation, these cameras enhance communication and transparency during treatment.
According to the National Library of Medicine, intraoral cameras improve diagnostic accuracy and patient education, making them a valuable addition to modern dental care.
