Intraoral cameras are a type of imaging device. They are small and pen-shaped in appearance, can be easily and comfortably maneuvered within the mouth to capture high-quality color photos, and are capable of reaching even the most difficult to view areas of the mouth. Dr. Jeppson will use an intraoral camera during exams and consultation to thoroughly check your mouth, evaluating your oral health, diagnosing dental problems and determining the extent of any damage to your teeth before creating a treatment plan. The camera may also be used to follow up on a treatment you have previously received.

Intraoral cameras are also a highly educational tool since the captured images appear almost instantly on a nearby screen where you can view them with our dentist and team. This gives you a better understanding of what is happening in your mouth and what your treatment options are. Photos captured by the camera can also be sent to other dentists and specialists as well as insurance companies as needed.

If you have any questions about intraoral cameras or to schedule an appointment with our dentist, please contact Jeppson Dental today.
