01
ABOUT INTRAORAL CAMERA
A clearer conversation about your oral health
An intraoral camera captures close-up images inside the mouth and displays them for the dental team and patient to review.
The camera can support communication and documentation, but it is one part of an examination rather than a replacement for other diagnostic tools.
02
HOW IT WORKS
What to Expect

Built-in lighting helps create close-up digital images.
Live display
Images can appear on a monitor so the team can explain what they are seeing.
