This technology helps our dentists examine areas of the mouth that are difficult to see with the naked eye. By magnifying and displaying these images on a large screen, our team can identify problems such as small cavities, cracked teeth, or early gum disease that might otherwise go unnoticed. This level of visualization allows for earlier detection and more conservative treatment options, which ultimately protect your oral health.

The intraoral camera also helps our patients feel more informed and confident about their care. You will be able to see exactly what we are referring to when we explain your diagnosis or treatment plan. This builds trust and helps patients understand why certain procedures may be recommended. Additionally, these digital images can be used to document progress and to provide clear evidence for insurance claims when needed.

At Forest Park Dental in St. Louis, our goal is to make dentistry more transparent and educational. The use of intraoral cameras helps us achieve that by involving our patients in every step of their dental journey.
