Intra-oral camera
Enhance Your Dental Care with Intraoral Camera Technology
At our Saint-Laurent clinic, we use the latest advancements in dental technology to ensure that you receive the most accurate diagnoses and the best possible treatment. One such innovation is the intraoral camera. This small, handheld device allows us to capture highly detailed, real-time images of your teeth and gums, helping both you and your dentist understand your oral health better.
What is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device equipped with a high-resolution camera at its tip. It’s used to take close-up images of your teeth, gums, and the inside of your mouth. These images are displayed on a screen, giving both you and your dentist a clear view of any issues that may need attention.
How Does the Intraoral Camera Work?
The intraoral camera is gently placed inside your mouth, and it captures detailed images as it is moved across your teeth and gums. These images are displayed instantly on a monitor in the treatment room, allowing you to see exactly what the dentist is seeing. With its small size and high-definition capabilities, the camera is capable of taking precise images even of hard-to-reach areas of your mouth.
Why Choose an Intraoral Camera?
- Immediate Visual Feedback: You can see images of your teeth and gums right away, making it easier to understand your oral health condition and treatment needs.
- Enhanced Accuracy: The intraoral camera captures high-definition, close-up images that are far more detailed than what can be seen with the naked eye, allowing us to detect problems earlier.
- Patient Empowerment: By seeing exactly what your dentist sees, you can make informed decisions about your treatment options, leading to better collaboration and trust in your care.
- No Radiation: Unlike X-rays, intraoral cameras do not use any radiation, making them a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool for patients of all ages.
- Monitor Changes Over Time: The camera allows us to take images at each visit, providing a way to monitor any changes or developments in your oral health, making it easier to spot potential issues before they become serious.
Applications of Intraoral Camera Technology in Our Clinic
The intraoral camera is a versatile tool used in a variety of dental procedures:
- Cavity Detection: We can identify early signs of cavities that may not be visible during a standard examination.
- Periodontal Health: It helps us closely examine your gums for signs of gingivitis, gum recession, or other periodontal issues.
- Before and After Treatment Photos: The camera is great for taking "before" and "after" pictures, allowing you to see the results of your treatment firsthand.
- Restorative Dentistry: For procedures like fillings, crowns, and bridges, the intraoral camera provides a clear view of your tooth structure, aiding in precise treatment planning.
- Oral Cancer Screening: It helps in the early detection of abnormal tissue that could indicate oral cancer or precancerous lesions.
- Education: During your visit, the images allow us to clearly explain any concerns, helping you visualize and understand your dental health.
Why Intraoral Cameras Are a Great Choice for Our Patients
At our clinic, we believe in offering a patient-friendly experience while utilizing the latest in dental technology. The intraoral camera helps us:
- Improve Communication: Visual aids are often the best way to explain dental conditions and treatment options, making you feel more involved in your care.
- Increase Treatment Precision: By capturing detailed images, we can identify issues early and plan your treatment with greater accuracy.
- Boost Patient Comfort: The camera is non-invasive, and the scanning process is quick, comfortable, and doesn’t require any preparation or numbing.

- Transparency: You’ll be able to see exactly what the dentist sees, allowing for clearer discussions about treatment options.
- Speed: The images are displayed immediately, speeding up the diagnostic process and enabling faster treatment decisions.
