Intra-Oral Camera
Quality Intra-Oral Camera in Aurora
Intra-oral imaging gives you a detailed view of your mouth in pictures and videos.
Putting specific problem areas onto a computer screen lets us see with clarity and detail that’s not possible with a traditional mouth mirror. Hand-held wands quickly capture the details of your teeth and gums. In fact, even small cracks that often lead to broken teeth appear vividly with the click of a button. We can explain the need for treatment more clearly by showing you what we see in great detail.
As an added benefit, dental insurance benefits often pay more quickly with the visual proof of a digital image.

Intra-Oral Camera FAQs
What is an intra-oral camera?
An intra-oral camera is a small, handheld device that takes clear, close-up images of your teeth and gums. It allows you and Dr. Zhu to see areas that are difficult to view during a traditional exam.
Why is an intra-oral camera useful?
It helps identify cracks, cavities, worn fillings, and gum issues early. The images also make it easier for you to understand recommended treatments by seeing exactly what the dentist sees.
Does using an intra-oral camera hurt?
No. The camera is very small and simply rests gently inside your mouth. It does not cause discomfort and does not involve radiation.
Can I see the images taken during my exam?
Yes. The images appear on a screen in real time, allowing you to participate in your diagnosis and treatment planning.
Does the intra-oral camera replace X-rays?
No. While it provides excellent visual detail, it cannot detect issues below the surface. Digital X-rays are still needed to evaluate the bone and areas between teeth.
