See What Your Dentist Sees—With Clarity and Confidence
Intraoral Cameras in Palo Alto, CA
At Denise Henderson DDS, we believe patients deserve to be fully informed partners in their dental care. That’s why we use intraoral cameras—advanced, high-resolution imaging tools that allow you to see your teeth and gums in real time. This technology turns what was once hidden into a clear, visual story of your oral health.

Serving patients throughout Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Los Altos, and Stanford, our office uses intraoral cameras to enhance exams, improve diagnosis, and empower you to make confident, informed decisions about your smile.
What Is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device equipped with a high-definition lens and LED lighting. It captures detailed images of the inside of your mouth, including hard-to-see areas like the back of your molars, gumlines, and beneath dental restorations.
The live feed or still images are displayed on a chairside monitor, allowing Dr. Henderson to walk you through what she sees—whether it’s plaque buildup, a cracked filling, early signs of decay, or gum inflammation.

Why We Use Intraoral Cameras
Visual tools are one of the most effective ways to build trust and understanding between dentist and patient. Intraoral cameras allow us to:
- Detect problems early
Spot small cracks, worn enamel, or gum recession before they become more serious. - Document changes over time
Track progress, monitor conditions, and maintain a clear visual history of your oral health. - Explain treatment recommendations
Show you exactly why a procedure may be needed, without guesswork or confusion. - Improve transparency and communication
With visuals on screen, you can see what we’re seeing—making it easier to understand your options and feel confident in your care.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Using an intraoral camera is a completely painless and non-invasive process. During your exam or consultation, Dr. Henderson or a team member will gently guide the device around your mouth while the images appear on the screen in real time.
This gives you a new perspective on your oral health and allows us to answer your questions with full visual support. Images can also be saved and used for treatment planning or insurance documentation.
How Intraoral Cameras Support Whole-Body Dental Wellness
As part of our commitment to comprehensive dental wellness, we use intraoral imaging to go beyond symptom-focused dentistry. With a clear view of your teeth and soft tissues, we’re able to assess connections between oral health and systemic wellness—such as signs of inflammation, infection, or nutritional deficiencies.
This tool supports our holistic, prevention-based approach to dentistry by helping us detect, document, and treat issues earlier and more effectively.
