Dental & Oral Health Exam

Your smile matters to us, so your first dental & oral health consultation at our clinic is completely free of charge!

All new patients receive a comprehensive oral exam at their first appointment. This is the best way to review what types of conditions are present, what treatment the patient has received the past and what are the patient’s current habits. It is also great way to get to know the patient and what they desire from us. We strongly believe that building a great relationship, one where patients are very comfortable, is the best way to encourage patients to maintain a healthy mouth.

The exam includes all aspects of the patient. It starts with a review of the patient’s medical conditions and medications. Then we review all current X-ray’s, followed by a complete dental and periodontal exam of the teeth and gums. We also assess if the patient is grinding their teeth and if they have any joint pain of the Temporomandibular Joint. Lastly, we review if the patient has any cosmetic desire to correct their smile. After a complete assessment, a treatment plan is made and finances are reviewed with patient. We always strive to make sure the patients fully understand all aspects of the planned treat and spend the time to answer all their questions.

Why are Dental Exams necessary?

Dental Exams are necessary as they give us a view of your dental and oral health to prevent issues from getting worse. It can alert us of minor problems so that treatment is both easier and more effective. Cleanings help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay when done regularly. It’s never too late to start taking better care of your smile with routine preventative treatment.

 

 

How often should you come in for Dental Exams & Cleanings?

We recommend coming into our office once every six months to keep up with your dental health. If you have children, try to get them in for their first appointment as soon as possible. If it’s been a long time since your last cleaning, it’s never too late to start loving your smile. We offer care in a judgement-free and relaxed manner.
