What happens during my first visit?

Conduct a thorough examination on your first visit to determine the best course of action to achieve dental health and your goals. We will:

• Take full mouth x-rays to identify any current problems and to use as a baseline on future visits to detect early signs of problems.
• Assess gum condition and health.
• Examine teeth for cavities and condition of old dental restorations.
• Perform a head and neck exam, including salivary glands and lymph nodes, for swelling or other abnormalities.
• Screen for oral cancer and TMJ dysfunction (jaw joint).
• Clean and polish your teeth.
