Seeing Is Believing—Especially at the Dentist
It can be hard to understand what’s going on inside your mouth without a clear view. That’s why intraoral cameras are a game changer. They provide a real-time, high-resolution visual of your teeth and gums, allowing both the dentist and the patient to see what’s happening—and why it matters.
At Marlborough Dental Centre, we use intraoral cameras during exams to enhance your understanding of your oral health. Rather than simply describing a concern, we show you what we see. This technology gives you more clarity and confidence when making treatment decisions.
What Intraoral Cameras Do (and Why They Matter)
What Is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small, wand-like device with a camera on the end. It captures detailed digital images of your mouth and displays them on a screen in real time. The images are saved to your patient file, allowing us to monitor changes over time and document any conditions, making dental exams more informed and specialized.
Benefits of Intraoral Cameras
- Better Diagnosis: Dentists can detect cracks, decay, and gum issues earlier.
- Improved Communication: You see what your dentist sees, so decisions feel more informed.
- Early Detection: Subtle changes can be tracked visit to visit.
- Less Guesswork: Visual confirmation supports more accurate treatment planning.
- Comfortable Exams: The device is small and non-invasive.
Real-Time Monitoring for Real Confidence
Because the images are projected instantly, patients can ask questions and get clarity right away. Whether it’s a suspicious spot, a fractured tooth, or signs of gum disease, you’ll understand what’s happening, and how it can be treated.
Intraoral Imaging vs. Traditional Exams
Traditional dental exams rely on mirrors and the dentist’s explanation. While that works, it can feel abstract or confusing. With intraoral cameras, you become an active participant in your care. Seeing an issue yourself can make it easier to accept or decline a treatment plan confidently.
