Intraoral Camera: See What We See!
Here at Smile Crafters, we pride ourselves in using innovative technologies such as intraoral cameras to provide our patients with high-quality and thorough dental services.
What are Intraoral Cameras?
Intraoral cameras are a technological replacement for the traditional handheld mirrors used to see inside a patient’s mouth.
The camera comes in the form of a pen-like apparatus that can be used to photograph the inside of the mouth. These images can then be directly projected onto our computers or monitors for immediate review.
Compared to the traditional mirrors, the intraoral camera allows our dental team to examine your mouth and teeth much more closely and precisely.

Plus, intraoral cameras have the added benefit of being able to provide images to insurance providers when patients need proof for coverage.
