Houston Dentist Says IRIS HD Intraoral Dental Camera Can Enhance Overall Dental Care

BELLAIRE, TX--(Marketwired - May 20, 2015) - One of the most important parts of dental treatment is the oral exam, says Dr. Jeffrey L. Schultz, a Bellaire and Houston dentist at Schultz Center for Dentistry. Dr. Schultz says an accurate diagnosis is essential to creating the best possible treatment plan and identifying any potential issues early in order to keep them from becoming worse down the road. One of the ways Dr. Schultz aims to achieve the most precise diagnoses for his patients is by using the IRIS HD USB 3.0 intraoral camera, a state-of-the-art piece of dental technology he says can ultimately enhance the overall patient experience.

The IRIS HD from Digital Doc is a small camera at the tip of what looks like an ordinary pen. By comfortably moving the camera around inside the patient's mouth during an exam, Dr. Schultz says he can snap high-definition photos that can be magnified and instantly relayed to a nearby video monitor. Dr. Schultz notes that intraoral cameras offer significant benefits for patients and dentists alike, including:

• Precise, high-definition views of problems such as broken fillings, cracked teeth, receding gums, infections, decay and cavities, and small tooth imperfections
• The ability to identify potential issues early
• A better way for patients to see and understand what's going on with their teeth and gums
• Enhanced communication between the patient and the dentist

Ultimately, Dr. Schultz says, the new IRIS HD allows him to magnify the captured images and make a detailed assessment of the patient's oral health, while showing them the images and helping them make educated decisions about their care. He says the IRIS HD camera is one of the most advanced intraoral cameras available, and gives him and his patients a quick and painless way to view specific areas of the mouth on high-def pictures that offer incredibly clear views. He notes this is very important for the early detection of dental problems, and can often allow for an easier treatment.
