Checkups
A strong, healthy smile plays a vital role in overall health, quality of life, self-confidence, and how others perceive you. Our dentists recommend six-month checkups to optimize and maintain oral health and to prevent dental problems from spoiling your smile.
At your checkup, the dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and how your teeth fit together. We'll also check your existing dental work for wear and use a non-invasive DIAGNOdent laser to scan your teeth for cavities. A thorough inspection of your gums will tell us if you have or are prone to getting periodontal disease, and we'll also screen for oral cancer. Intraoral photos and digital X-rays taken during your checkup will help the dentist form an accurate diagnosis. You'll have an opportunity to review the images, and we'll be happy to answer your questions. Together, we'll create a customized treatment plan to improve your oral health.
