INTRAORAL CAMERA AT ELITE CARE DENTAL

WHAT IS AN INTRAORAL CAMERA?

An intraoral camera is a small video camera, about the size of a large pen, that allows Dr. Jindia to view your mouth from multiple angles on a large monitor and take pictures as he needs to. A protective sheath is changed between patients to maintain our high standards of cleanliness and safety.

These cameras were first used in the early 1990s and are still considered relatively new technology, being used only by advanced dental practices like Elite Care Dental.

What is an Intraoral Camera Used For?

There are a wide variety of uses for intraoral cameras. They are extremely helpful in diagnosing fractured teeth or tooth decay. They are also used during restorations not only to aid Dr. Jindia’s view during the procedure, but also to take before-and-after pictures to show his patients when treatment is complete.

Beneficial to Our Patients and the Environment

Intraoral cameras are fantastic teaching tools that allow Dr. Jindia and the team to show you, in real time, what’s going on in your mouth. Rather than just explaining it, you can actually see for yourself. Also, because there is no processing time required, our patients can have images immediately, which is a great time-saver.

In addition, as many insurance companies are now accepting images via email, thus reducing the paper trail and mailing times, claims can be processed much faster and with much less paper waste, which is wonderful for our environment.
