A comprehensive dental exam will be performed at your initial dental visit.

 

• Examination of diagnostic X-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss.  X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions. 

 

• Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer. 

 

• Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease. 

 

• Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments. 

 

• Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.
