The foundation of a healthy smile. A thorough exam lets us catch small problems early, when they are easiest and most affordable to treat, and gives you a clear picture of your oral health.
A comprehensive exam is a careful, head-to-toe review of your oral health. We check every tooth, your gums, your bite, and the soft tissues of your mouth, and we include an oral cancer screening at every exam. Paired with digital X-rays and an intraoral camera, it helps us spot issues you cannot see or feel yet, then build a plan around what you actually need.
A quick look at what we check during a comprehensive dental exam.
We review your teeth for decay, cracks, and worn or failing restorations, check your gums for early signs of disease, and look at how your teeth fit together. Low-radiation digital X-rays let us see between teeth and below the gumline.
Oral cancer is highly treatable when it is caught early. That is why we include a quick, painless screening of your lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat tissues as part of every comprehensive exam, looking for anything that should be watched or checked further.
We show you what we see, often right on the screen with our intraoral camera, and walk you through any findings and your options without pressure. You leave knowing exactly where your smile stands and what, if anything, comes next.
Plain answers from our Peterborough team: no jargon, no pressure.
For most patients, a thorough exam once or twice a year, alongside regular cleanings, is enough to stay ahead of problems. We will recommend a schedule based on your needs.
