Intraoral Photos in Phoenix, AZ

Intraoral Photos

Intraoral cameras allow dentists to expand their interpretation and perception of a patient’s condition. They also assist in the execution of a well-made, personalized treatment plan. Intraoral photos may reveal any defects in the teeth and other parts of the oral cavity that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Dental photos are available at Smile Dental Studio in Phoenix and the surrounding area. Intraoral photography can help enhance patient education and expedite the healing process.

Accurate Charting

Intraoral photos serve as an invaluable diagnostic tool, enabling us to create accurate charts of your dental condition. This meticulous charting aids in tracking changes over time, providing a visual reference for your oral health journey.

Identifying Restorative Materials

Whether it's existing dental work or ideal restorative options, intraoral photos help us identify and plan for restorative materials. This ensures that your treatment is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Visualize Oral Health

Intraoral photos not only assist us in diagnosing dental issues but also empower you to better understand your oral health. The visual representation of your mouth allows for enhanced patient education, fostering a collaborative approach to your dental care.

Enhanced Communication

Prevention and Early Detection

Early detection is key to preventing dental problems from escalating. Intraoral photos help us identify potential issues at their earliest stages, allowing for timely intervention. This proactive approach not only minimizes the need for extensive treatments but also contributes to long-term oral health.

Accurate Diagnoses

Intraoral cameras allow dentists to take close-up photos of the teeth from angles that they could not otherwise see, facilitating the diagnosis process. This can even be true when a patient has undergone an X-ray, as certain conditions may be more apparent "in the flesh."

Establish a "Baseline"

Any anomalies from these photos will then be more easily identifiable as potential causes for concern. Dental photos can also make visits more convenient for patients, who may have otherwise needed to be subjected to hours of visual examination for a proper diagnosis.

FAQs About Intraoral Photos

Will my insurance carrier accept dental photos as verification of my condition?
The answer depends on your carrier and condition. However, most insurance carriers require some form of charting, radiographs, or narrative before disbursing benefits. Intraoral photographs can often help to support a patient’s case.
How are dental photos useful in prostheses?
Stone models are commonly used to depict a patient's tooth position and shape. Unfortunately, these models fail to capture tooth or gingival character, color, or shade. Color-corrected intraoral photos can assist in creating the most natural-looking prosthetic teeth for the patient.
What should I expect when my dental photos are being taken?
We may take intraoral photos before, during, or after your treatment. In any case, you will need to rest comfortably in one of our chairs and hold certain positions. We will set up lights and mirrors to get the most accurate depiction of the mouth, and we may hold back your lips as necessary to allow for a good view of the mouth and teeth. Once we have taken the photographs, our dental team will review them with you and point out both the healthy areas and potential areas of concern.
What are some dental conditions that you can identify with intraoral photos?
There is a wide array of health conditions we may be able to detect with intraoral photography. Some of the most common are cavities, cracks, decay, enamel texture, gum disease, and tooth and gum abnormalities.
Do I need to take intraoral photos every time I go to the dentist?
No. Every patient has different needs. Some may need to take more frequent intraoral photos, and some may need to take less. In any case, they are generally not required during every check-up. Our professional dentists may use intraoral photography to establish any existing conditions or make a diagnosis before creating a customized treatment plan for you.
