Intra-Oral Cameras

It has always been difficult to get a clear picture of your oral health. Who can really see into their own mouths properly? Even with special lights and mirrors, most dentists may only get a shadowed view of the details.

Now imagine – with the touch of a tiny, pen shaped instrument, both you and Dr. Randish see an enlargement of every detail in your mouth without effort, pain or x-rays. Science fiction? Think again. The technology of Intra-Oral cameras is one of the most important tools in the dental office.

Intra-Oral cameras are tiny digital cameras that fit comfortably in your mouth and enable our team to show you an enlarged image of your smile on a computer screen. The camera is located in the tip of the Intra-Oral wand and transmits real-time video for you and Dr. Randish to review.

Not only does this allow you to see what is really happening in your mouth, it also documents what is seen, uploading it to a computer. Information can then be printed out to provide a hard copy picture for your records or for procedure verification by your insurance company.

 During diagnosis we see clearly defined images with details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. These images also act as an educational tool, allowing you see the inside of your mouth and confront problems or review procedures as they progress. This is a crucial part of conservative and preventative dental treatment.
