At Evanston Family Dental, we use the latest technology to provide you with not only with effective treatments, but with accurate diagnoses. Through the use of intraoral cameras in Evanston, Illinois, our dentist, Dr. Kathleen Curry, can get precise views of your teeth and mouth. To learn how an intraoral camera can improve your health, call 847-491-1200 today, and one of our team members will help you get ready for your appointment.
An intraoral camera is a tool we use to get a closer look at different parts of your mouth. The intraoral camera is a small, pen-shaped device that we can use to take high-quality color photos of your teeth and gums, as well as other areas of your mouth as needed. Because the intraoral camera is so small and easily maneuverable, we can use it to see angles in your mouth that we cannot easily view with the unaided eye. We may utilize the intraoral camera to better evaluate your oral health and to diagnose dental problems like tooth decay and periodontal disease, as well as tooth damage like a cracked or chipped tooth. The intraoral camera is also useful in following up after a treatment has been completed.
In addition to helping our team get a better view of your teeth, the images taken with the intraoral camera allow you, our patient, to gain a better understanding of your oral health and dental treatments. We can also send these photos to other dentists and specialists and can submit them to dental insurance companies as needed. To learn more about the uses and benefits of intraoral cameras, we invite you to call or visit our dentist and team soon.
