Dental Exam
A routine dental exam is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your smile and overall health. Even if you brush and floss daily, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach places—and early signs of dental issues often go unnoticed without a professional evaluation.
Regular checkups allow your dentist to catch cavities, gum disease, and other concerns before they become more serious (and more expensive to treat).
Whether you're coming in for a six-month visit or it’s been a while since your last appointment, we’re here to make the process easy and judgment-free.
What’s included in my exam?
Your dental exam is more than a quick look—it’s a full evaluation of your oral health. During your visit, you can expect:
Comprehensive dental evaluation: Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, tongue, and jaw for signs of decay, damage, and inflammation.
Digital X-rays (as needed): These help detect cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other issues not visible to the naked eye.
Gum disease screening: We check your gum pockets for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease—conditions that can worsen without proper care.
Oral cancer screening: Early detection saves lives. Your dentist will check for any abnormal tissue or lesions that need further evaluation.
Personalized care plan: Based on your exam, your dentist may recommend additional care, such as fluoride treatment, sealants, or cavity fillings.
This comprehensive approach to preventive dental care helps keep your teeth and gums healthy and reduces your risk of long-term dental problems.
