An intraoral camera is a small, handheld imaging device that allows dentists to capture detailed images of the inside of the mouth. This technology helps dentists examine teeth, gums, and other oral structures more closely while providing patients with a clear view of their dental health. At Olive Dentistry, our dentists use intraoral cameras to identify concerns such as cavities, worn enamel, cracked teeth, or gum inflammation. The images appear instantly on a screen, allowing both our dentist and the patient to see areas that may require attention.

The intraoral camera is about the size of a pen and is designed to move comfortably around the mouth. As the camera captures images, they are displayed in real time on a computer monitor. This allows our dentists to explain findings while showing the exact area being discussed. By using this technology, patients can better understand their oral health and feel more informed about recommended treatments. Intraoral cameras help improve communication and support accurate diagnosis.
