A dental exam involves a thorough assessment conducted by our dentists, and includes a meticulous evaluation of your teeth and underlying oral structures to detect potential dental ailments or conditions. Dental X-rays might be employed to further scrutinize your teeth and supporting structures, identifying tooth decay and other potential complications. Throughout the examination process, our dentists will be vigilant for concerns such as cavities, bone deterioration, oral cancer and periodontal disease.

Additionally, we may offer suggestions to enhance your at-home oral hygiene practices.
