Intra-Oral Cameras
A small, pen-sized camera that captures detailed images of your teeth and gums displayed on a chairside monitor.See What Your Dentist Sees
Understanding your dental health is much easier when you can see it for yourself. Our intra-oral cameras at New Image Advanced Dental in Trinidad, CO capture high-definition images of the inside of your mouth and display them on a monitor right at your chair. This technology bridges the gap between what Dr. Amy Wilson sees during your exam and what you can understand about your own oral health.
Intra-oral cameras are completely painless, use no radiation, and provide a level of visual detail that helps you see cracks, decay, worn fillings, and gum issues with your own eyes. When you can see the problem, you can make a more confident decision about how to treat it.
How Intra-Oral Cameras Improve Your Care
Better Communication
Instead of trying to describe what she sees in hard-to-reach areas, Dr. Wilson can show you magnified, well-lit images on the screen. You will see exactly what she is referring to, whether it is a hairline crack, early decay, or a filling that is beginning to break down.
Early Detection
The camera captures details that may not be obvious to the naked eye. Hairline fractures, early signs of wear, and subtle changes in gum tissue are all easier to spot when magnified on a high-definition display.
Documentation
Every image is saved in your digital patient record, creating a visual history of your dental health over time. This allows us to track changes, monitor existing issues, and compare before-and-after images for treatments like bonding, veneers, or whitening.
Intra-oral cameras are a standard part of our exam process. To experience transparent, technology-driven dental care, call 719-846-7387 or request an appointment online. We serve patients from Trinidad, Walsenburg, Raton, and across Southern Colorado.
