Comprehensive Dental Examination

THE BEST WAY TO START
We usually recommend a comprehensive examination for all of our new general dental patients. A thorough examination allows us to detect problems while they are still small and less complicated and therefore less costly to correct. Our comprehensive examination includes:

  • Health History
  • Radiographs (x-rays) of your teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures
  • Oral Cancer Examination
  • Lymph Node Evaluation
  • Periodontal (gum and bone) Disease Evaluation -- most adults have some form of this
  • Caries (cavities) Evaluation
  • Evaluation of Existing Dental Restorations
  • Evaluation of the Bite to Screen for Potential Problems
  • Evaluation of Head and Neck Musculature
  • Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Screening Exam
  • Orthodontic Evaluation Where Indicated
  • Dental Hygiene Status

We will discuss treatment needs at the end of the visit. If, however, your needs are more complex, we may require special diagnostic records and we will set up a separate treatment conference appointment to discuss your needs after the case has been more thoroughly studied.

ARE YOU PLEASED WITH YOUR SMILE? CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS:

  • Are you confident about smiling in front of people?
  • Do you ever put your hand up to cover your smile?
  • Do you smile with your mouth closed?
  • Do you wish your teeth were whiter?
  • Are you happy with the shape and size of your teeth?
  • Are you happy with the alignment of your teeth?
  • Try this too: How's your smile?

Our appearance affects the way we feel about ourselves and often the way others feel and interact with us. Studies have shown that the face is one of the first things that people notice about us and that the smile rates first on the list of features notices. The mouth is a focal point of our appearance -- it is our means of communication in speech and in our expressions of love, anger, joy and laughter. Everyone wants a beautiful smile. Modern cosmetic dental technology has provided us with the means to improve almost any smile.

With modern cosmetic dentistry we are able to:

  • Whiten teeth
  • Close spaces between teeth
  • Fill gaps where teeth have been lost
  • Change the shape of teeth
  • Change the size of teeth
  • Make crooked teeth appear straight

All of this is done using:
