Comprehensive Dental Exams: More Than Just a Check-Up
A professional dental exam is your most powerful tool in maintaining long-term oral health. Our thorough examinations go beyond looking for cavities; we assess your entire oral ecosystem including gums, bone structure, and soft tissues. By utilizing advanced diagnostics, we identify potential issues in their earliest stages, allowing for simpler, more conservative treatments that protect your natural smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I really need a dental exam?
Most healthy adults should have a comprehensive exam every six months. If you have a history of gum disease or frequent cavities, we may recommend a more frequent schedule.
Will you take X-rays at every exam?
Not necessarily. We follow a customized diagnostic schedule. While new patients usually need a full set, returning patients only receive them as needed based on their specific risk factors.
What is the difference between an exam and a cleaning?
The cleaning removes plaque and tartar, while the exam is a diagnostic procedure where the dentist evaluates your health, bone structure, and screens for disease.
Does a dental exam include oral cancer screening?
Yes. At our practice, a soft-tissue oral cancer screening is a standard and essential part of every comprehensive examination.
What should I bring to my first exam?
Please bring a list of any medications you are taking and your previous dental records if available. This helps us build a complete picture of your health.
