What's Included in Your Visit:
1. The Comprehensive Dental Examination
Our experienced dental team performs a meticulous examination, going beyond just looking for cavities. This includes:
- Thorough Visual Inspection: Assessment of your teeth, gums, tongue, palate, and other soft tissues for any signs of decay, damage, or disease.
- Oral Cancer Screening: A crucial examination of your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums to check for any signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions. Early detection significantly improves outcomes.
- Gum Health Assessment: Evaluation of your gum tissue for signs of gingivitis (early gum disease) or periodontitis (advanced gum disease), including measuring gum pockets.
- Bite & Jaw Assessment (TMJ): Checking your bite alignment and evaluating your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) for any signs of dysfunction, pain, or grinding/clenching habits.
- Existing Restoration Evaluation: Checking the integrity of your current fillings, crowns, bridges, and other dental work.
- Review of Medical History: A discussion of your general health, medications, and any specific concerns you may have, as oral health is intricately linked to systemic health.
2. State-of-the-Art Digital X-rays
Utilizing advanced digital radiography, we capture high-resolution images of your teeth and jawbones. Digital X-rays offer significant advantages:
- Lower Radiation Exposure: Significantly reduced radiation compared to traditional film X-rays, making them safer.
- Instant Imaging: Images are immediately available on-screen, allowing for quick diagnosis and patient education.
- Superior Clarity & Detail: Enhanced image quality allows us to zoom in, adjust contrast, and identify even the smallest issues that are invisible to the naked eye.
- Environmentally Friendly: No chemical processing required.
What Digital X-rays Reveal:
- Hidden Cavities: Decay between teeth or under existing fillings that can't be seen visually.
- Bone Loss: Early detection of bone loss indicative of periodontal disease.
- Impacted Teeth: Un-erupted or partially erupted teeth (e.g., wisdom teeth) and their position.
- Cysts, Tumors & Abscesses: Detection of infections or growths in the bone or soft tissues.
- Root Problems: Issues with tooth roots, root canals, or the surrounding bone.
- Developmental Abnormalities: Identification of problems with tooth development in children and adolescents.
3. Personalized Consultation & Treatment Planning

- Explain Findings: Clearly communicate the results of your examination and X-rays in an easy-to-understand manner.
- Answer Your Questions: Provide ample opportunity for you to ask questions and discuss any concerns.
