Our Signature Oral Health Exam
Our team provides comprehensive care and advanced restorative dentistry for adult patients, which begins with our signature oral health exam.Our signature oral health exam is likely more thorough than any dental examination you have received before. Most new patients begin with this evaluation. Existing patients receive this full examination on a periodic basis as indicated.The exam begins with a conversation. Discussing your past dental experiences and concerns enables us to better interpret your current circumstances and oral health objectives.
Sometimes, an additional appointment (called a Records Appointment) may be needed to gather precise information. To do so, we will make models of your teeth to further study and investigation how your teeth fit together. These records allow for accurate diagnosis and thorough treatment planning prior to addressing core foundational needs.
