Intraoral Camera in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, CA

In the field of dentistry, innovations have made the assessment and diagnosis of oral health problems a lot easier and the treatments less invasive, more comfortable and convenient. Intraoral camera is just one of the many dental innovations used in assessing and diagnosing oral health problems. Our office features an intraoral camera in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, CA, that can give Dr. Kathiriya a close look at every area of your teeth and mouth.

An intraoral camera is a tool we use to get a closer look at different parts of your smile. 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 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.

Benefits of Intraoral Camera

The main goal in the use of intraoral camera is to assess and diagnose oral health problems. The benefits of intraoral camera include:

• It is used in oral cancer screening. Patients, who are at high-risk for oral cancer such as those who are heavy alcohol drinkers and smokers, are screened for this disease.
• Dr. Kathiriya uses intraoral cameras to educate her patients about their oral health. With the use of the camera, the patients are able to see the condition of their teeth and helps Dr. Kathiriya in discussing the disease condition of the teeth and how it could be prevented.
• The photos and videos taken by the intraoral camera will serve as a basis of the oral health condition of the patient. With the photos in file, Dr. Kathiriya will be able to assess whether dental treatments in the past have indeed made a positive progression in the dental health of the patient. The photos can also be sent to your insurance company if it is needed.
