What’s Included in Your Dental Checkup?

Your dental exam is more than just a quick look—it’s a complete assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and oral health status. Whether it’s your first visit or your regular 6-month checkup, we make sure nothing is overlooked.
  • Digital X-Rays – Detect cavities, bone loss, infections, and issues below the surface.

  • Gum Health Evaluation – We check for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease.

  • Oral Cancer Screening – A quick visual and tactile check for abnormal tissue.

  • Tooth-by-Tooth Exam – We look for wear, decay, cracks, or problems with fillings and crowns.

  • Jaw and Bite Check – Monitor alignment and TMJ function to spot any issues.

It’s a comprehensive dental exam designed to protect your whole smile.

Why Routine Dental Exams Matter

Coming in for a dental checkup every 6 months helps catch small problems before they become painful or expensive. Even if your teeth feel fine, exams can uncover hidden issues you can’t see or feel.
  • Prevent Cavities – Early detection helps us treat decay before it spreads.

  • Monitor Dental Work – Ensure your fillings, crowns, or bridges are still working properly.

  • Gum Disease Prevention – Gum health is essential to avoid tooth loss later on.

  • Protect Your Overall Health – Poor oral health has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and more.

Dental checkups are your first line of defense for a lifetime of oral wellness.
