Imagine being able to see exactly what your dentist sees during an examination. With the integration of intraoral cameras, that is now a reality in modern cutting-edge dentistry. This simple yet powerful piece of advanced technology has revolutionized how we conduct diagnosis, plan dental treatment, and educate our patients.
What is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a tiny, pen-sized video device that our experienced team uses to navigate and capture high-resolution, full-color images of the inside of your mouth. These images are instantly projected onto a large monitor, visible to both the patient and the dentist.
How This Advanced Technology Improves Your Treatment
1. Enhanced Diagnosis and Documentation: The camera can reach areas impossible to see clearly with the naked eye and a small mirror. It magnifies small cracks, early decay, worn fillings, or subtle signs of gum disease, allowing for earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
2. Unparalleled Patient Education: When our dentist can point to a monitor and show you the exact spot where a restoration is failing or where a cavity is forming, the treatment recommendation becomes clear. This visual evidence empowers you to participate actively in deciding on your dental treatment plan.
3. Increased Trust and Transparency: By sharing the visual evidence, the intraoral camera removes any guesswork, fostering a relationship built on trust and complete transparency. This is part of our commitment to compassionate care.
4. Accurate Insurance Submission: High-quality photographic evidence can sometimes expedite the approval of your dental treatment plan by insurance providers.
Using advanced technology like the intraoral camera ensures that your care in Nairobi is not only professional but also clear, understandable, and collaborative.
