A dental exam is a complete checkup of your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues. It helps catch small issues early—often before you feel pain—so treatment is simpler and more affordable.

What’s Included

  • Medical & dental history review to understand risk factors and concerns
  • Teeth and gum evaluation for cavities, gum disease, recession, and inflammation
  • Oral cancer screening of the cheeks, tongue, throat, and other soft tissues
  • Bite and jaw assessment to check alignment, TMJ symptoms, and wear patterns
  • Existing dental work check (fillings, crowns, bridges, implants) for fit and stability
  • X-rays (as needed) to detect issues not visible during a visual exam

Why Regular Exams Matter

  • Detect cavities early and prevent toothaches
  • Identify gum disease before it causes tooth loss
  • Spot cracks, infection, and hidden decay
  • Monitor changes in oral tissues
  • Keep cosmetic and restorative work in great shape

How Often Should I Get an Exam?

Most patients benefit from an exam every 6 months, but some may need more frequent visits
if they’re prone to cavities, have gum disease, wear braces, or manage conditions like diabetes.
We’ll recommend the right schedule for you.
