Digital Photography

People seldom have a clear idea of the actual status of their dental health. Even with lights and mirrors, a patient can't see what the dentist can – that is, until now.

We use digital cameras, so when you visit the dentist, you can sit comfortably back in the chair and get ready for the show. Dr. Perry or our hygienist will take detailed photos of your teeth, as well as your full smile. The color images are sent to a TV screen that you can comfortably view from the dental chair. Aha! There it is – your mouth on the screen. The dentist can point out problem areas and explain his recommendations for treatment, so you'll become an informed partner in your dental care instead of a clueless bystander.

Seeing your dental problems may seem overwhelming at first, but consider the experience the first step toward a healthier, fresher smile. The camera may reveal the early stages of potentially serious problems, allowing you the opportunity to prevent small problems before they escalate. This is especially helpful with gum disease and conditions that cause damage without causing pain. The camera's honest survey can also show you how your regular home hygiene routine is paying off. The dental hygienist or dentist can recommend ways to improve your homecare based on their findings.
