During your visit to Parkway Family Dental, Dr. Jacob Wood will thoroughly examine your entire smile. Some areas of your mouth are difficult to see with the naked eye, which is why our office uses an advanced intraoral camera. This technology allows us to access every angle of your smile for precise and accurate diagnoses.
What Is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small, pen-shaped device that captures high-quality color images of your teeth, gums, and other areas of your mouth. Its compact and maneuverable design allows us to examine hard-to-reach areas, ensuring a detailed view of your oral health. The intraoral camera enhances your care by allowing us to:
- Identify issues such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, or cracks and chips.
- Monitor progress and follow up after treatments.
- Provide a more comprehensive evaluation of your oral health.
This tool isn’t just beneficial for diagnostics—it also empowers you as a patient. The clear images captured by the intraoral camera give you a firsthand look at your oral health. These visuals help us explain any concerns and recommend treatments, keeping you informed and confident in your care.
Additional Benefits
- Efficient communication: We can easily share these images with specialists if a referral is needed.
- Streamlined insurance claims: High-quality photos can be submitted to dental insurance companies for faster approvals.
