Enhancing Your Dental Care with Advanced Imaging Technology
At Aglow Dental Studio, we are proud to offer intra-oral camera technology to improve diagnostics and transparency for our patients across Reston, Sterling, Herndon, and the surrounding Northern Virginia communities. With this modern tool, Dr. Rosemary Ahanor provides a clearer, more detailed look inside your mouth, helping you understand your oral health like never before.
What Are Intra-Oral Cameras?
Intra-oral cameras are small, pen-sized devices equipped with high-resolution cameras that capture clear, real-time images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional mirrors, these cameras allow:
- Magnified, detailed views of hard-to-see areas
- Instant image display on chairside monitors
- Enhanced patient education and involvement
- Earlier detection of dental issues
Using intra-oral cameras complements other diagnostic technologies like digital X-rays and 3D CT scanning for a comprehensive understanding of your oral health.
Why We Use Intra-Oral Cameras at Aglow Dental Studio
Dr. Ahanor believes that the best dental care is based on both precision and collaboration. Intra-oral cameras help us:
- Identify early signs of decay, cracks, gum disease, and oral lesions
- Show patients exactly what we see during dental exams
- Improve the accuracy of diagnoses and treatment planning
- Document treatment progress over time
This technology is especially valuable when discussing procedures like dental fillings, dental sealants, or restorative dentistry.

- Better Understanding: Visualize any dental issues and treatment needs firsthand.
- Improved Communication: Discuss your dental health more openly and confidently.
- Early Intervention: Detect minor problems before they develop into major concerns.
- Enhanced Trust: Feel more involved in your care with full visual transparency.
Seeing is believing. With intra-oral cameras, you’re empowered to make informed decisions about your smile with confidence.
