Complete Oral Examination

A complete oral examination is the cornerstone of our preventive dentistry services. We generally recommend a routine exam at least twice each year to prevent oral health issues from worsening without professional care. During this examination, we look closely for abnormalities in the mouth and potential problems with the teeth, such as decay. This thorough review allows us to identify issues early and plan the necessary treatments to maintain your smile.

Digital Radiography
(X-rays)

To see beyond what is visible to the naked eye, we utilize digital radiography. This technology allows us to detect decay between teeth and assess bone health. Additionally, our office is pleased to announce that we have access to on-site CBCT technology to provide in-house CT scan services. This advanced imaging provides a three-dimensional view of your oral anatomy, which is essential for planning complex procedures like implants.

Extra/Intra Oral Photography

We believe that seeing is understanding. We use extra and intra-oral photography to capture high-resolution images of your teeth and gums. These images serve as a visual record of your oral health journey and help us communicate clearly with you about the condition of your mouth. By documenting your dental health visually, we can track changes over time and ensure that our treatment planning is precise and transparent.

Diagnostic Study Models

For more complex treatment plans, we may utilize diagnostic models. these allow us to study the relationship between your teeth and jaws in three dimensions outside of the mouth. These models are particularly useful when planning cosmetic improvements, orthodontics, or restorative work, ensuring that the final result is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Gum and Teeth Assessment

Your gum health is just as important as the health of your teeth. During your visit, we perform a comprehensive gum and teeth assessment to check for signs of periodontal disease, inflammation, or recession. By catching these issues early, we can recommend treatments such as scaling or root planing to restore your gum health and prevent further complications.

Treatment Consultation

We believe in team-oriented care, in which you are the key member. Following your diagnostics, we provide a detailed consultation to review your diagnoses and discuss your treatment options. We take the time to explain the procedures, alleviate any concerns you may have, and answer your questions. Whether you require routine care or complex restorative treatments, we strive to create a stress-free environment where you can make informed decisions about your oral health with confidence.
