New patients to the practice will receive a full examination to assess their exact dental condition. This includes both bitewing and panoramic X-rays, in addition to periodontal charting and oral cancer screenings. During the exam, teeth will be checked for any type of plaque, tartar, cavities or other forms of decay. The dentist will look for any signs of oral disease, jaw misalignment or any other issues that may need to be addressed. By knowing in advance exactly what types of dental issues are present, it is easier to provide excellent, effective services and treatments to help patients’ teeth.
