Examinations
Before we can undertake any treatment we must first ascertain the condition of your teeth and gums and diagnose any problems. We start, therefore, with a thorough examination. This includes:
- Assessment of the hard and soft tissues in your mouth and jaw joint
- Oral cancer screening
- X-rays, taken using our digital intra oral sensors.
These procedures give us a complete picture, which we then use to compile your bespoke treatment program.
Time is taken to assess what we have found and all the data is then discussed and presented to you. We spend the time and discuss your treatment goals with cosmetic and remedial therapy in mind, ensuring we restore your smile to health.
Why do I need a Dental Examination?
Regular dental examinations (ideally every four - six months) are very important and help you to maintain a healthy mouth. The process allows us to check for early signs of dental problems, such as decay or gum disease, and therefore take measures to prevent the problems from becoming serious. This could save a lot of pain, time and money!
