Diagnostic Imaging in Houston, TX

Discover the clarity and vision offered by intra-oral cameras at the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. While conventional dental mirrors could be considered successful by some dental standards, they pale in comparison to the capabilities of an intra-oral camera. Still roughly the same size as their predecessors with the dimensions of a large pen, intra-oral cameras bear a high-resolution camera on the end of the wand. Capable of rotating any number of degrees and magnifying the image by up to 100 times, our team members in The Woodlands, TX are able to examine your mouth and stream it immediately to the screen.

A flexible video camera, roughly the diameter of a pen, instantly transmits live-video of your mouth to a full-color, high-definition video monitor. The magnification power of the device permits unrivaled clarity, even at very close range, which results in a better diagnosis and more effective treatment. We will then walk you through each issue and explain potential strategies to help resolve them. Plus, it’s quick, comfortable, and simple for our team to perform.

Yes, not only is it possible to view the entirety of your mouth streamed to the screen, it is also possible to capture and print a single frame of the video, allowing for focused analysis. You may be skeptical enough to wonder if an intra-oral camera is really such an improvement over handheld dental mirrors. Truthfully, it is. Not only does it increase the ease in which our staff can inspect and diagnose the inner workings of your mouth, but it permits you to be well-informed on the entire process. By allowing you to see everything displayed on a monitor that we see inside, you can make an informed decision with better understanding of the information available.
