IntraOral Cameras

Advancements in technology have provided the industry with tools that help assist our staff in detecting problems at their earliest stages. Here at Mulvane Family Dentistry we are proud to provide procedures involving IntraOral imaging. The IntraOral camera allows the possibility not only to detect even the smallest of details, but also helps to identify defects that can lead to problems later.

What Are IntraOral Cameras?

IntraOral cameras are small digital cameras that are about the size of a pen that have the capability to connect to a large screen to show real time images as a mouth is being examined. This device helps to educate our patients and provide them information that helps them easily understand the condition of their oral health. Attached to the IntraOral camera is a bright LED that helps to diagnose cavities, fractures, or other defects that would be hard to see with the naked eye.
