Benefits of Intraoral Cameras

Digital technology has dramatically changed the field of photography, and the use of intraoral digital cameras has changed the way dentists evaluate and diagnose dental problems.

An intraoral digital camera is a pen-sized wand with a tiny camera embedded in the tip.  Once inserted into the patient's mouth, the camera can video the interior and then transmit the data to a computer where enlarged, full images can be viewed by both the dentist and the patient. The results are instantly available for the patient and the dentist to discuss.  The dentist receives needed information and the patient develops a better understanding of the current state of his or her dental health.

Intraoral digital cameras provide a new revolutionary method for monitoring our patients' oral health and improving the quality of the dental care.  At Northstar Dental Clinic we now offer this advance technology to our patients.  Our professional dental team uses intraoral cameras to provide the patients with a detailed imaging of their teeth and gums.  The use of intraoral cameras enables both the hygienists and the dentists to show our patients exactly what the camera sees via chair-side monitors.
