Besides utilizing standard dental tools, our dental office uses an intraoral camera to assist with better identifying, diagnosing, and illustrating a patient's needs. An intraoral digital camera supplies education to patients concerning dental hygiene including a magnified observation of their teeth from various angles that would usually be more difficult.
The intraoral camera supplies real-time impressions along with printed pictures of the mouth that reveal to the patient places that need work. Additionally, this gives patients the opportunity to ask questions and become part of the examination procedure.

In addition, insurance companies are provided proof of required treatment.
