Intra Oral Camera
A picture is worth a thousand words—and that’s certainly
true when it comes to taking care of your teeth and gums.
That’s why one of the tools of the trade here at Metropolitan
Dental is an intra-oral camera.
 This tiny video camera, mounted on the end of a pen-sized
wand, takes pictures inside your mouth that help our dentists
document and diagnose your dental conditions. We store
these images in your electronic chart as a baseline for
planning and monitoring your long-term care.
Best of all, because the camera is linked to our computer
system, you can tour along with us on your overhead monitor!
Giving you a dentist’s-eye view of what’s going on makes
it easy for Dr. Walters and Dr. Kaplan to point out any
problems and explain the best options for treatment.
Our hygienists love it because they can show you areas
of your teeth and gums that need extra attention during
your daily cleaning routine—and even demonstrate ways
to improve your brushing and flossing.
Besides, it’s pretty cool seeing the inside of your own
mouth.
If you would like to know more about any of the technology we use, feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to answer any
questions you may have.
