This device allows us to take quick and easy pictures of your teeth, and makes it possible for both the doctor and the patient to view the images in your mouth on a video monitor up to twenty times larger. You can now easily see where pieces of tooth or filling material may be missing or cracked, helping you to understand why certain treatments are recommended. As an added benefit, in some cases, an x-ray may not even be needed to determine what is wrong with the tooth.
The use of imaging in dentistry has been around for a long time, but it just recently became possible to easily move the camera to the room where it is needed, take an image, and display it instantly.
The doctors and staff at LDA conducted extensive research on the different choices of intraoral cameras available on the market today. This research included hands-on testing at the recent Buffalo Niagara Dental Meeting. We are pleased to now have another tool to help us keep your oral health at its best.
