A comprehensive exam offers us a chance to thoroughly review the condition of your mouth for problems you may or may not be aware of, speak to you about your concerns and treatment goals, inform you of the many options available for whatever your concern is, and explain the pros and cons of each option. This will enable you to get to know us and us to know you.
In addition to evaluating your teeth existing problems and potential problems, we also evaluate the soft tissue such as your gums, cheeks, your tongue, and roof of your mouth.
We utilize digital radiographs which provide a significantly better quality picture and reduce radiation exposure by as much as 90% compared to traditional film. With advanced digital enhancement software that we have, we are better able to evaluate situations and see problems. Moreover, as opposed to simply telling and describing problems, we are also equipped to focus on showing and explaining to you.
We utilize lasers to augment our traditional visual and tactile exam of your mouth. This Diagnodent laser is painless and a really good tool to help us find problems that can be missed by using the explorer (the sharp instrument that is used to check your teeth).
