First Visit
Every new patient receives a thorough examination and a precise evaluation of his or her oral health to assess their current dental condition. Based on your needs, desires, and oral health condition, we will advise you of your treatment options. The clinical exam consists of the following:
Intraoral X-rays: essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss; help in determining tooth and root positions
Oral Cancer Screening: checking of face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues and gums for any signs of oral cancer
Periodontal Assessment: checking of gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease
Tooth Surface Inspection: checking of all tooth surfaces, including teeth with fillings, crowns, or other restorations, for decay
