Helping Patients See What the Dentist Sees
Peoria Dental Care uses intraoral cameras to show patients detailed images of teeth, gums, restorations, and areas of concern during dental visits.
Located on N Rockwood Dr in Peoria, our office welcomes patients from Peoria, Peoria Heights, Dunlap, East Peoria, Morton, Washington, Bartonville, and nearby Central Illinois communities.
An intraoral camera is a small handheld camera used inside the mouth. It captures close-up images that can be displayed on a screen, making it easier for patients to see what the dental team is evaluating.
This technology supports clearer conversations. Instead of only hearing about a cracked tooth, worn filling, or area of buildup, patients can often see the concern for themselves.
What Intraoral Cameras Can Help Show
- Cracks, chips, or worn tooth edges
- Old fillings or crowns that may need attention
- Plaque, tartar, or gumline concerns
- Visible cavities or suspicious areas
- Before-and-after views for patient education
Why Visual Education Matters
When patients can see an image of the area being discussed, treatment recommendations often make more sense. The camera does not replace the dentist’s exam, but it can make the findings easier to understand.
Comfortable and Non-Invasive
Using an intraoral camera is quick and comfortable. The camera simply moves around the mouth to capture images of specific teeth or areas.

Questions Patients Often Ask
Does the intraoral camera take X-rays?
No. It takes close-up photos inside the mouth. X-rays are separate diagnostic images.
Can I see the images during my visit?
Yes. The images are often displayed so the dentist can explain what is being seen.
