Intraoral Images in Nashville | Dental Faith
Most dental problems are hiding where you cannot see them. Between teeth, below the gumline, inside old fillings. The only way to catch them early is to get a clear, detailed look at what is actually going on.
At Dental Faith, we use intraoral cameras and digital scanners to see every part of your mouth in real time. No messy impressions. No guessing. Just precise images that help us find problems faster and explain your treatment clearly.

WHY CHOOSE DENTAL FAITH
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.
You See What We See – We show you the images on a screen in real time. You can see exactly what we are looking at, why we are recommending a certain treatment, and what the tooth actually looks like. No more taking our word for it.
Faster and More Accurate Diagnosis – Intraoral cameras and scanners catch things that X-rays and visual exams can miss. Hairline cracks, early decay, failing margins on old fillings. Finding them early means simpler treatment.
No More Messy Impressions – Digital scanning replaces the traditional putty mold. It is faster, more comfortable, and far more accurate. Most patients who have had both never want to go back to the old way.
Better Treatment Results – When we start with precise digital data, we end with restorations that fit better, look better, and last longer. Crowns, aligners, and implant restorations all benefit from digital precision.
Comfortable from Start to Finish – Our bilingual team explains what we are doing at every step. The scanning process is quick, non-invasive, and nothing like what most patients expect from a dental visit.

Our Technology
We use both intraoral cameras and digital scanners depending on what your visit requires. Here is how each one works and what it is used for.
01
Intraoral Camera
A small handheld camera captures high-resolution images of your teeth and gums from every angle. The images appear on a screen in real time so you can see exactly what we are examining. We use this for routine exams, early decay detection, and explaining treatment recommendations clearly.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR VISIT
Most patients are surprised by how easy the process is. Here is what happens when you come in for intraoral imaging at Dental Faith.
INTRAORAL TECHNOLOGY VS TRADITIONAL METHODS
How Digital Scanning Compares to Old-Style Impressions
If you have had a traditional dental impression before, you know what it involves. A tray filled with thick putty is pressed into your mouth and held there for several minutes while it sets. Many patients find it uncomfortable. Some gag. The result is a physical mold that gets sent to a lab and can still come back with errors.
Digital scanning is a different experience entirely.
The scanner is a small wand that moves around your mouth capturing thousands of precise data points per second. There is no putty, no tray, and no waiting for material to set. The whole process takes a few minutes and most patients find it completely comfortable.
The digital file that comes out of a scan is also more accurate than a physical mold. It does not shrink, warp, or get damaged in shipping. Labs and milling machines work directly from the file, which means restorations fit better the first time and need fewer adjustments.
For patients who have always dreaded impressions, digital scanning changes the experience completely.
INTRAORAL SCANNING COST IN NASHVILLE
What Does Intraoral Scanning Cost in Nashville?
In most cases, the cost of intraoral scanning is included in the cost of the procedure it supports. When we scan for a crown, the scan is part of the crown appointment. When we scan for Invisalign, it is part of your Invisalign consultation. We do not charge separately for the technology in most situations.
Diagnostic Scans – If you are coming in specifically for a diagnostic scan or a second opinion that requires digital imaging, we go over the cost before your appointment. There are no surprise fees.
Insurance Coverage – Most dental insurance plans cover the procedures that use intraoral scanning. Coverage for the scan itself varies by plan. We check your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what to expect.
No Insurance? – We offer in-house membership and financing options. The technology we use makes treatment more efficient, which keeps overall costs manageable for most patients.

Common Questions
What is an intraoral camera?
An intraoral camera is a small handheld device that takes high-resolution photos inside your mouth in real time. We use it to show you exactly what we are seeing during your exam so you understand what is happening with your teeth and gums.
What is an intraoral scanner used for?
An intraoral scanner captures a precise three-dimensional digital model of your teeth. We use it instead of traditional putty impressions for crowns, bridges, Invisalign, implants, and other restorations that require exact measurements.
Are intraoral scanners better than traditional impressions?
For most patients and most procedures, yes. Digital scans are more comfortable, faster, and more accurate than physical molds. Restorations made from digital scans tend to fit better and require fewer adjustments.
How long does a digital dental scan take?
Most scans take between three and seven minutes depending on how many teeth are being scanned. The process is straightforward and most patients find it much easier than they expected.
Is intraoral scanning safe?
Yes. Intraoral scanners use no radiation and are completely non-invasive. The device simply moves around your mouth capturing optical data. There are no known risks associated with the technology.
`
Does intraoral scanning hurt?
No. The scanner does not touch your teeth or gums with any pressure. Most patients describe the experience as feeling like nothing at all. It is one of the most comfortable parts of a modern dental visit.
How accurate are digital dental scans?
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.
