Intraoral Camera Exams

in Twin Falls, ID

See your smile from a new perspective with detailed intraoral imaging at Elison Dentistry.

A Closer Look at Your

Teeth and Gums

An intraoral camera is a small handheld device that captures detailed images from inside your mouth. It allows Dr. Tyler Elison to examine areas that may be difficult to see during a traditional visual examination.

The images appear on a nearby monitor within moments, giving you the opportunity to see exactly what our team sees and better understand your oral health.

What Can an Intraoral

Camera Show?

Intraoral imaging may help us identify and document:

  • Small cracks or areas of tooth damage
  • Early signs of tooth decay
  • Worn or damaged fillings
  • Gum inflammation and recession
  • Plaque and tartar buildup
  • Changes in existing crowns or restorations
  • Areas that require continued monitoring

The camera can also help us track changes over time and plan treatment with greater precision.

Comfortable, Quick, and Informative

The slim camera is gently moved throughout your mouth to capture clear, enlarged images of individual teeth and surrounding tissues. The examination is quick, comfortable, and does not involve radiation.

Because you can view the images on a screen, Dr. Elison can clearly explain any findings and answer your questions before recommending treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an intraoral camera exam hurt?

No. The camera is small and designed to move comfortably throughout the mouth without causing pain.

Is an intraoral camera the same as a dental X-ray?

No. An intraoral camera captures color images of the visible surfaces inside your mouth. Dental X-rays provide information about structures beneath the surface, including tooth roots and bone.

Will I be able to see the images?

Yes. The images appear on a monitor, allowing you to review them with Dr. Elison and better understand any areas of concern.
