Intraoral Camera in Houston Heights

An intraoral camera is a small, high‑definition device that lets you see exactly what your dentist sees during your exam. About the size of a pen, it captures clear, close‑up images of your teeth and gums, revealing details that are hard to spot with the naked eye alone.

At Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights, Dr. Rouhani uses intraoral camera images to make your visits more transparent and educational. You’ll see real‑time photos of any cracks, wear, cavities, or gum concerns on a chairside screen, so you can truly understand your oral health and feel confident about every treatment decision.
