Intra-oral Cameras in Boynton Beach, FL
A Closer Look at Your Oral Health—Together
At South Palm Dental, we believe that informed patients make the best decisions about their dental care, which is why we use intra-oral cameras—high-resolution, handheld imaging tools that provide real-time visuals of your teeth and gums to enhance clarity and transparency during exams and treatments. From Boynton Beach to Delray Beach, Gulf Stream to Boca Raton, we proudly use this advanced technology to make dentistry more collaborative, precise, and centered around your comfort and understanding.
What Is an Intra-oral Camera?
An intra-oral camera is a pen-sized digital tool that captures high-quality images of the inside of your mouth. The device connects to a chairside monitor, allowing both you and your dentist to view detailed images of your oral structures—including teeth, restorations, soft tissue, and areas that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
This technology transforms the traditional dental exam into a guided tour of your own smile.
Benefits of Intra-oral Cameras
- Better Diagnostics
Small cracks, early-stage decay, gum inflammation, and other subtle issues can be detected earlier with magnified visuals. - Improved Patient Communication
When you can see the problem yourself, treatment recommendations become easier to understand and trust. - Accurate Documentation
The images captured are stored in your patient record and can be used for comparisons over time or shared with specialists and insurers. - Minimally Invasive
The camera is completely non-invasive and causes no discomfort—making it ideal for children, anxious patients, and routine exams.
When Are Intra-oral Cameras Used?
We may use an intra-oral camera during:
- Routine cleanings and exams
- Cavity detection and monitoring
- Restoration evaluations (crowns, fillings, etc.)
- Pre- and post-treatment documentation
- Patient education and consultation
Whether you’re in for a six-month checkup or reviewing options for cosmetic or restorative work, this tool brings more clarity and confidence to the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an intra-oral camera the same as an X-ray?
No. Intra-oral cameras provide color photographs of the surface of your teeth and gums, while X-rays are used to view beneath the surface (e.g., roots, bone).
Does it hurt to use an intra-oral camera?
Not at all. The device is small, smooth, and completely painless. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is.
Will I get to see the images?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages is that you can see what your dentist sees—helping you better understand your diagnosis and treatment options.
Can I request images for my own records?
Absolutely. Images can be shared digitally for personal reference, insurance claims, or referral purposes.
