Comprehensive Exams

Our Process

Initial Consultation and History

The appointment starts with a discussion about your dental and medical history, any concerns you have, and your oral hygiene habits.

Oral Examination

The dentist will visually inspect your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

This involves examining your neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Diagnostic Procedures

To get a detailed view of your oral health, the dentist may take digital X-rays to detect issues not visible during the visual examination.

Intraoral and extraoral photographs may be taken for a more comprehensive view and future reference.

Gum Health Evaluation

The dentist will check your gums for signs of periodontal disease, measuring the depth of the spaces between your teeth and gums.

Occlusion and Bite Analysis

Your bite will be assessed to check for any issues with alignment or occlusion that might impact your oral health.

Professional Cleaning

If included in the comprehensive exam, a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth will be performed.

Treatment Planning

The dentist will discuss the findings with you, including any immediate needs or potential future concerns.

Based on the exam, the dentist will recommend treatments or preventive measures to address any identified dental issues.

Scheduling Follow-Up

The session concludes with scheduling any necessary follow-up appointments or treatments.
