Process of a Dental Checkup
Welcome and Health Review
We begin by reviewing your dental and medical history and noting any concerns or changes since your last visit.
Digital iTero Scan
We perform an iTero digital scan to capture detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums. This allows us to track changes over time and plan treatments more accurately.
Professional Cleaning
Our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar buildup, polishes your teeth to remove surface stains and flosses thoroughly to ensure a fresh, clean finish.
X-Rays (if needed)
When necessary, we take digital X-rays to check for underlying issues like cavities, bone loss or infections that aren’t visible during the exam.
Comprehensive Exam
Your dentist performs a thorough exam of your teeth, gums and bite. We also check for signs of gum disease and evaluate the health of any existing dental work.
Oral Cancer Screening
As part of every checkup, we examine your gums, cheeks, tongue and throat for signs of abnormalities, ensuring early detection of any concerns.
Personalized Recommendations and Follow-up
We review our findings with you, answer your questions and provide tailored home care tips or treatment recommendations. Before you leave, we’ll schedule your next six-month checkup or any additional care if needed.
