At Dental Designs of Stroud, we believe that you should be an active partner in your dental care. We use intraoral cameras to provide complete transparency regarding your oral health. Rather than just telling you what we find during an exam, we can show you exactly what is happening inside your mouth.
This technology allows our doctors to share high-resolution images with you in real time, helping you make informed decisions about your treatment with confidence. By bringing this level of diagnostic clarity to Stroud, OK, we ensure that there are no mysteries when it comes to your smile.
What Is An Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device about the size of a dental mirror. It fits comfortably inside your mouth and captures magnified images of your teeth and gums. These images are instantly displayed on a chairside monitor.
This technology magnifies specific areas of your smile, allowing us to identify issues that might be missed during a visual exam or on a standard x-ray. It is safe, effective, and suitable for patients of all ages.
Why We Use This Technology
The camera is a powerful tool for early detection. Because it magnifies the surfaces of your teeth, we can easily spot:
- Early stages of tooth decay
- Hairline cracks or fractures
- Worn or leaking fillings
- Gum recession or inflammation
By catching these issues early, we can often recommend conservative treatments before the problem progresses.
What To Expect
Using the intraoral camera is quick and comfortable.
- The process: You simply sit back while we gently move the wand around your mouth.
- The view: As we scan your teeth, you can watch the monitor to see what we are looking at.
- The plan: If we find an issue, we can pause on that image and explain the problem clearly. We will discuss your treatment options based on the visual evidence, ensuring you understand exactly why a procedure is recommended.
