Thoroughness Counts
We want to learn all we can about your dental conditions, needs and desires. A careful examination of your teeth, gum tissues, bite relationships and soft tissues of your mouth will be completed. We will take the necessary x-ray and often impressions to make diagnostic models. Since certain medical conditions and medicines can influence dental disease and its treatment, we also ask some pertinent health history questions. Starting with a complete and thorough exam is what we call a “perfect beginning.”
Very often for emergency and new patients, of course, we do a more abbreviated exam so urgent needs can be addressed promptly. Also to help new patients get started here, the brief exam as well as panoramic x-ray and intraoral photos are free.
