Dental exams
Dental exams give us a clear picture of your oral health and help prevent small issues from developing into bigger concerns. Even if your teeth feel fine, a routine exam allows us to check for early signs of change — decay, gum inflammation, wear, bite issues — long before they become uncomfortable. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, update us on anything new, and get personalized guidance for your day-to-day care.
These visits help us understand how your teeth, gums, and jaw are working together over time. By comparing your current exam to previous checkups, we can track subtle shifts and recommend simple, proactive steps that keep treatment minimal. For many patients, this reassurance matters just as much as the cleaning itself.
Why exams matter
Many common dental issues begin quietly. Regular exams help us stay ahead of changes, protect your long-term comfort, and make treatment more manageable. They’re a simple way to keep your smile healthier for years to come.
What to expect
We review your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, check your bite, and assess for early signs of decay or disease. Digital X-rays may be taken if needed. We explain everything clearly, so you always know what’s happening and why.
We offer direct billing and clear explanations so you always know how imaging fits into your overall care plan.
