Dental technology has come a long way, making treatments more precise, efficient, and comfortable for patients. One of the most innovative advancements in modern dentistry is the intraoral camera. At Friendly Dental of Worcester, we use this tool to improve diagnostics, enhance patient education, and ensure better treatment outcomes.
The intraoral camera is a small, high-resolution camera that captures detailed images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional dental mirrors, this device allows dentists to examine hard-to-reach areas with greater accuracy. The images are displayed on a monitor, allowing both the dentist and the patient to see potential dental issues up close.
One of the biggest benefits of the intraoral camera is early detection. It helps identify cavities, fractures, and gum disease at their earliest stages, allowing for prompt intervention before more serious problems develop. This not only saves patients from discomfort but also reduces the need for extensive treatments.
Additionally, these images can be used for insurance claims, providing visual proof of necessary treatments. This makes the approval process smoother for procedures such as fillings, crowns, and periodontal treatments.
