Best Candidates

Using an intraoral camera to examine the teeth and gums can be beneficial for any dental patient. It can help you gain a better understanding of your dental conditions by showing you a clear image of the problems. A useful tool for both you and Dr. Markogiannakis, intraoral cameras provide accurate and effective diagnoses, as well as make it easier for you to understand your treatment.

What To Expect

With a shape and size similar to a pen, an intraoral camera is a flexible instrument that will transmit live video from your mouth to a digital monitor. Dr. Markogiannakis will glide the camera over your teeth and gums while viewing the images on the screen. She will also be able to capture images that can be used in a more intensive analysis. By allowing you and Dr. Markogiannakis to view the images on a monitor, a more informed decision and treatment plan can be created. This will ultimately help you have a better understanding of your dental health.

Follow-Up

If a problem is detected with the intraoral camera, Dr. Markogiannakis will discuss with you the appropriate treatment options available to take care of it. Once a treatment plan has been crafted and decided on, you should schedule a follow-up appointment(s) at Smiles of Chevy Chase to begin your treatment.
