Dental Exams That Catch Problems Early
Regular exams are the best way to keep your smile healthy and avoid costly treatment later. Most patients should see us every six months.
What Happens at Your Exam
- A full check of your teeth, gums and bite
- Digital x-rays with low radiation to spot hidden decay
- An oral cancer screening of your mouth, tongue, throat and neck
- A gum health check to catch early periodontal disease
- A clear review of findings and next steps
Three Reasons to Never Skip Your Exam
Full Teeth & Gum Check
A complete exam of your teeth, gums and bite catches early problems before they become expensive ones.
Digital X-Rays
Low-radiation digital x-rays reveal hidden decay between teeth and below the gumline that a visual exam can miss.
Oral Cancer Screening
We screen your mouth, tongue, throat and neck at every exam. Early detection makes a significant difference in outcomes.
Why Screenings Matter
Cavities, gum disease and oral cancer are much easier to treat when caught early. A few minutes at each visit can make a big difference for your long-term health.
