Newport Beach, CA – In Newport Beach, patients are gaining a clearer view of their oral health thanks to the use of advanced dental technology. At Watson, Niven, Skahen – Comprehensive, Restorative, & Esthetic Dentistry, Dr. James Skahen and Dr. Scott Niven are enhancing patient understanding and trust through the everyday use of an intra-oral camera. This small yet powerful tool is making dental visits more informative and interactive for patients across the community.

Traditionally, patients relied on verbal descriptions and X-rays to understand what was happening inside their mouths. Now, with the use of an intra-oral camera, patients can actually see detailed images of their teeth, gums, and other problem areas in real time. This level of visual clarity helps patients become more involved in their own care. It removes doubt and encourages open conversation between the dentist and the patient during the exam.

At Watson, Niven, Skahen - Comprehensive, Restorative, & Esthetic Dentistry, the camera is used to document areas of concern and track progress throughout treatment. This helps ensure that patients fully understand the reason behind each recommendation. Whether it’s decay, cracked fillings, or signs of gum disease, being able to see it on-screen builds trust and helps patients make informed decisions.

Residents of Newport Beach have responded positively to this change. Many say the technology gives them peace of mind during treatment planning. Dr. Skahen and Dr. Niven agree that using an intra-oral camera helps strengthen the connection between dentist and patient. It allows people to take ownership of their dental health without guessing or second-guessing.

The practice focuses on combining modern tools with personalized care. Dr. Niven and Dr. Skahen take time to explain each image and answer questions clearly. They believe that informed patients are more likely to stay engaged in their oral health journey. With this approach, Watson, Niven, Skahen – Comprehensive, Restorative, & Esthetic Dentistry continues to raise the standard of care in Newport Beach.
