Intraoral Camera Technology at Maplewood Family Dental
Improving Our Patients’ Dental Experience
We’ve found that sometimes it’s difficult for our patients to understand the condition of their teeth the way that Dr. Chidester does. One way we improve our patients’ dental experience is through the use of an intraoral camera in our diagnosis.
What Is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small, pen-like device with a camera on the end. The camera contains a bright LED light which helps us diagnose cavities or fractures that are difficult to see with the naked eye. The camera is connected to a monitor which allows you to see up close what Dr. Chidester is seeing. This dramatically improves your dental experience by helping you understand why Dr. Chidester would recommend a certain treatment.
Why We Use an Intraoral Camera
Our goal at Maplewood Family Dental is to make your experience as easy and effective as possible, which is why we use an intraoral camera in our diagnostic process. Patients have routinely expressed their appreciation of our intraoral camera. They get to see the state of their teeth for themselves, including problems such as cracked teeth, decay, worn-out or defective fillings, bleeding gums, and tartar.
At Maplewood Family Dental, we serve patients throughout Knightdale, NC and invite you to give us a call at (919) 438-3933. You can also shoot us a quick email with any questions that you may have. We look forward to serving you!
