Dr. Robert Zama may use an intraoral camera to get a closer view of your teeth and mouth during your exam. Intraoral cameras are small, pen-shaped devices used to take high-quality color photos of your teeth and gums. They are easily maneuverable, which allows our dentist and team to view all areas of your mouth, including those which are otherwise impossible to view with the unaided eye. This comprehensive view makes it easier for our dentist to diagnose developing problems, such as tooth decay and gum disease, as well as tooth damage. The camera is also helpful in providing and following up on treatment to ensure you have received the care you need to regain your oral health and smile.
Aside from providing a better view of your mouth, intraoral cameras are also excellent educational tools. The captured images are projected to a nearby screen where you can view them alongside our dentist and team. This gives you a better understanding of what is happening in your mouth and of which treatments may be most beneficial for you.
Photos taken with intraoral cameras can also be sent to other dentists, specialists and insurance companies as needed, ensuring better communication throughout your treatment process.
