An intraoral camera is a small, pen-shaped device that captures high-resolution images inside your mouth and displays them instantly on a screen— so you can see exactly what Dr. Bottorff sees, in real time. It's a simple tool with a significant impact on how clearly we can communicate about your oral health.
What It Does
The camera is small, comfortable, and easy to maneuver into areas that are otherwise difficult to examine visually. As it moves through your mouth, images are captured and displayed on a nearby monitor, allowing Dr. Bottorff to evaluate hard-to-reach areas, identify early signs of decay or damage, and walk you through findings as they appear on screen.
Images can also be saved for documentation, used for comparison at future visits, or shared with specialists as needed.
Why It Matters
Like Pearl AI, the intraoral camera is part of how Elevated Dentistry keeps you informed and involved in your own care. When you can see what's happening in your mouth— a crack, early decay, gum tissue changes— you don't have to take anyone's word for it. That transparency makes for better conversations and more confident decisions.
