What Is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small, pen-shaped device that allows Dr. Lopez to take detailed, high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, and other areas inside your mouth. Unlike traditional dental mirrors, this advanced tool gives both you and the dental team a clear, magnified view of your oral health. The images are displayed on a screen in real time, making it easy for you to understand any issues and participate in your treatment plan.
