Most dental problems hide where you can’t look: between teeth, around old fillings and along the gumline. Our SOPRO intraoral camera, a pen-sized camera, shows those areas enlarged on a screen beside you during your exam.
Instead of taking our word for it, you see the crack, the worn filling or the early decay for yourself, and decide on treatment with full information.
Hairline cracks are hard to see with the eye and often missed on X-rays. Enlarged photos make them visible.
Gaps and dark edges around old fillings show where decay can sneak underneath.
We can show the difference between a harmless stain and decay that needs a filling.
Redness, swelling, recession and tartar buildup along the gumline become easy to see.
Photos are saved to your record so you can compare changes from visit to visit and see the result of your treatment.

A Nashville Dental Office Built Around Modern Technology
We invested in intraoral technology because it leads to better care. Better images mean better diagnosis. Better diagnosis means better treatment. It is that simple.
Seeing the problem yourself makes it easier to understand why treatment is recommended.
Enlarged images reveal small issues while the fix is still simple.
Photos give you a clear record of what we found and why.
Photos can be sent with insurance claims when a plan asks for proof that treatment was needed.
We walk through every image in English or Spanish.
We move the small camera around your teeth. It takes about a minute or two and doesn’t hurt.
Dr. Fedler points out anything that needs attention and anything that only needs watching.
Photos are stored with your chart for comparison at your next visit.

Yes, in most cases there’s no separate charge. It’s also part of our new-patient special for uninsured patients.
Digital scans are highly accurate, often more so than traditional impressions which can distort or shrink slightly as the material sets. Labs and milling machines work directly from the digital file, which leads to restorations that fit well the first time.
