Comprehensive Exam & Oral Cancer Screening
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.
More than a quick look around
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.
What happens during your exam
A quick look at what we check during a comprehensive dental exam.
Everything we look at, in one visit
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.
