Intraoral Camera at Southern Cross Dental

Here at Southern Cross Dental, we aim to use to most advanced technology for the most successful patient outcomes. This is why we have chosen to use an intraoral camera here at our Colorado Springs, CO dental practice.

Imagine being able to pick a spot on the mouth and zoom in on it. That is exactly what the intraoral camera allows us to do. The camera is a pen-like device that can go into the mouth and take close-up pictures and video. It can even reach those far back places that we had trouble viewing in the past. The images are displayed onto a monitor so we can instantly take a look and better diagnose any problems found. Using these pictures, we can refer back to them at future appointments, so keeping track of the condition of a patient’s mouth is more efficient.

Since these photos are digital, we can save, print, or email them as easy as ever. This makes patient care a whole lot easier, as they can take home copies to know what kind of changes to look for. We can also instantly send them to another doctor for second opinions and to insurance companies for acceptance.

Routine oral examinations by your dentist are part of a good oral hygiene routine. To schedule an appointment with our Colorado Springs, CO dental practice, Southern Cross Dental, call (719) 471-1717 or visit our website, www.southerncrossfamilydentistry.com.
