Our dentists and team need access to every part of your smile to locate problems and create your personalized treatment plan. Dr. Jason A. Dunville and Dr. Hayley Mathie use intraoral cameras in Jefferson City, MO, to see even hard-to-access areas of your mouth, ensuring a thorough examination every time.
What Are Intraoral Cameras?
An intraoral camera is a small, pen-shaped device with a tiny camera and light on its tip. When placed inside your mouth, it captures high-resolution images of your teeth, gums and oral tissues that are displayed in real time on a nearby monitor. This allows both you and your dentist to see detailed views of your oral health.
Benefits of Intraoral Cameras
- See what your dentist sees — images are displayed on a screen in real time
- Better understand your diagnosis and treatment recommendations
- Early detection of cracks, decay and gum issues
- Comfortable and non-invasive examination
- Images can be saved for comparison at future visits
- Helpful for insurance documentation and treatment planning
How Intraoral Cameras Enhance Your Visit
During your exam, our team gently guides the camera around your mouth, capturing magnified images of each area. You can view these images on a chair-side monitor as your dentist points out areas of concern and explains their findings. This visual approach helps you make informed decisions about your oral health and understand why certain treatments may be recommended.
