Comprehensive Dental Exams

What it is: A comprehensive exam evaluates teeth, gums, bite, tissues, restorations, implants and risk factors.

When considered: It is appropriate for new patients and periodically when a full reassessment is due.

What to expect: We begin with an examination and appropriate records, explain the findings, and tailor the sequence to the tooth, tissues, bite, health and goals.

Limits and next step: Suitability, timing and outcome depend on the clinical findings. Alternatives, maintenance and referral needs are reviewed before treatment.
