Schedule with UsWhat is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small video camera that takes an image of the outside of the gum or tooth. The intraoral camera resembles an oversized pen. While simultaneously viewing a monitor, the dentist inserts the camera into a patient's mouth and gently shifts it about so that images can be taken from a variety of angles.
Benefits of Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras can help your provider quickly and accurately diagnose dental issues such as tooth decay and cracked teeth. The camera also makes it easy for your provider to show you your smile up close and educate you on the state of your oral health.

A dentist may use an intraoral camera to better examine a patient's mouth, as it allows them to see different parts more clearly and detect any dental issues.
Intraoral camera equipment includes the camera probe, display monitor, and the software used to capture the images and footage. Your dentist uses the camera probe and the display monitor to see inside your mouth. The software installed on the device also allows your dentist to capture and store images taken with the camera, so your dentist can refer to the photos of your mouth when needed.
