What To Expect During A Dental Exam
A dental exam is a quick and painless procedure completed within 30-45 minutes. The process begins with physically examining your teeth, gums, tongue, and other oral structures.Â
The objective of this exam is to spot signs of the following oral problems.
- Gum disease
- Tooth decay
- Mouth cancer
- Misalignment
- Failing dental work
Visual exams can reveal many details of your smile, but our naked eyes can only see so much. We offer digital X-rays (radiographs) to unearth issues lurking beneath the gum line. Dental X-rays can help spot many problems, including bone loss, cysts, interproximal cavities, impacted wisdom teeth, tooth infections, etc. While you may have had safety concerns about X-rays in the past, modern radiographs are safe, emitting 80-90% less radiation than their traditional counterparts.Â
Professional dental cleaning
After the dental exam, we will professionally clean your teeth to remove built-up plaque and tartar. Where we carefully clean all the teeth surfaces, including the hard-to-reach areas. After cleaning, polishing your teeth with a special paste for a shiny finish.
A dental cleaning is more thorough than your toothbrush and dental floss. So, even if you diligently clean your teeth at home, never miss routine dental cleanings. These cleanings make up for missed spots during at-home dental care to protect your smile from gum disease, decay, and bad breath.

Dental exams and cleanings should be part of your oral care regimen, whether young or old. These preventive visits offer numerous benefits, including:
