State-of-the-Art Visual Diagnostics
In contemporary dental practices, accurate imaging technology plays a crucial role in early problem detection and in educating patients about their oral hygiene. At Patricia Conn, DDS, we harness advanced intraoral cameras that generate intricate images of your teeth and gums, enabling both you and Dr. Patricia Conn or Dr. Kevin Conchiery to view what’s occurring in your mouth on a large display in real time.
Clear Visual Insights into Your Oral Health
The intraoral camera revolutionizes standard dental check-ups by delivering enlarged, high-definition images of areas typically challenging to examine visually. This compact device captures clear photographs and video of individual teeth, uncovering initial signs of decay, fractures, or gum issues that might otherwise be overlooked. Patients value the opportunity to witness their dental health firsthand, empowering them to make educated decisions regarding treatment choices.
- Instant visual feedback during your dental assessment
- Improved communication between patient and dentist
- Proactive identification of dental concerns before they escalate
- Digital records for insurance and treatment planning
Effortless and Streamlined Examination Experience
Throughout your appointment, the lightweight intraoral camera glides smoothly around your mouth, relaying live images to a monitor next to your chair. This procedure is entirely pain-free and non-intrusive, eliminating any radiation exposure associated with conventional X-rays. Our dentist can pause the examination at any moment to clarify specific observations, highlight areas of concern, and discuss preventative strategies. The images can be stored in your digital file, printed for your personal records, or forwarded to specialists if referrals are needed.
