Get a full analysis with advanced digital imaging technology
To give you the most accurate diagnosis possible, we use advanced digital imaging technology during your first visit. These tools allow us to see far beyond what is visible during a visual examination and help you better understand your oral health.
Intraoral Camera
During your first appointment, we use our intraoral camera to comfortably capture detailed images inside your mouth. Instead of simply explaining what we find, we show you clear photographs of your teeth so you can see exactly what we’re seeing.
Seeing the condition of your own teeth often makes it much easier to understand why treatment may be recommended.
Dental digital radiography
Your first visit may also include dental digital radiography, which allow us to see areas hidden beneath the surface to help us evaluate:
– Health of the supporting bone
– Tooth roots and surrounding structures
– The depth of cavities
– Infection or abscesses
– Wisdom tooth positioning
– Developing dental problems before symptoms appear
Oral cancer screening
Your first visit also includes an oral cancer screening. We carefully examine your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, palate, throat, and surrounding oral tissues, along with the supporting bone structures, looking for any abnormalities that may require further evaluation.
Early detection is one of the most important factors in successful treatment, making this an essential part of every comprehensive dental examination.
Have questions before your dental appointment?
We’re happy to explain what to expect, discuss insurance coverage, or help you prepare for your appointment.
Create your personalized treatment plan
After completing your examination, your dentist will review all findings with you. We’ll answer your questions and ensure you fully understand your options before moving forward with any treatment with our dental services.
Together, we’ll discuss:
Understand treatment costs and insurance policies
We strive to make the financial aspect of your dental care as clear and straightforward as possible by helping you understand treatment costs, insurance benefits, and your coverage options.
