Intraoral Camera in Irvine
See what your dentist sees with advanced intraoral camera imaging at our Irvine dental office. This technology gives you a close-up view of your teeth and gums to better understand your oral health.
The Importance of an Intraoral Camera
Enhanced Visibility for Better Dental Care
At Sand Canyon Dental in Irvine, we use intraoral cameras to capture high-resolution images of your mouth in real time. This small, pen-sized camera helps both you and your dentist clearly see problem areas—making diagnosis more accurate and treatment planning more effective.
Why We Use an Intraoral Camera
Unlike mirrors alone, intraoral cameras give a detailed look at hard-to-see areas inside your mouth. These images help detect issues like cracks, decay, worn fillings, or inflamed gums. They also allow us to show you what we see, so you can make informed decisions about your care.
What to Expect During the Process
Using the intraoral camera is quick and painless. We simply guide the camera around your mouth, capturing detailed images that appear instantly on a screen. Your dentist will walk you through the visuals and explain any concerns or next steps.
Your images can be saved in your dental record, so your dentist can compare them at future visits and spot changes early.
When treatment is recommended, intraoral photos can also help document the condition for your dental insurance claim.

What the camera shows you
Most people never get to see the inside of their own mouth. An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized camera that shows close-up images of your teeth on a screen next to your chair. You can see a crack, worn filling or area of decay for yourself, and your dentist can explain exactly what they recommend and why.

Intraoral camera FAQ
Does it hurt?
No. The camera is about the size of a pen and simply moves around your mouth. There is no radiation.
How is it different from an X-ray?
The camera shows the surface of your teeth and gums in color. Digital X-rays show what is inside and between the teeth and in the bone. Together they give a complete picture.
Can I see my photos?
Yes. The images appear on screen during your visit, and your dentist will walk you through them.
