Comprehensive Examination

What is a Comprehensive Dental Examination?

A comprehensive dental examination is an in-depth assessment of your oral health, performed by one of our skilled dentists. This examination goes beyond the routine check-up, providing a thorough review of your dental and medical history, as well as a meticulous inspection of your teeth and gums.

Why is a Comprehensive Examination Important?

Regular comprehensive exams are essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing serious dental issues. By identifying problems early, we can provide timely interventions that save you time, discomfort, and expense in the long run. This proactive approach helps ensure that your smile stays healthy and beautiful.

What’s Included in the Examination?

• Detailed Medical and Dental History Review:
  We start by reviewing your medical history and any changes since your last visit. This helps us understand any potential impacts on your oral health and tailor our care to your specific needs.

• Thorough Oral Examination:
  Our dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures. This includes checking for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other conditions that could affect your oral health.

• Digital X-Rays:
  Using state-of-the-art digital x-rays, we can capture detailed images of your teeth and jawbone. These images help us detect issues that are not visible during a visual examination, such as hidden decay or bone loss. If you had x-rays done recently, we can help you obtain them from your previous clinic.

• Oral Cancer Screening:
  Early detection is crucial for effective treatment. We perform a thorough oral cancer screening to identify any unusual lesions or abnormalities.

• Assessment of Bite and Jaw Function:
  We evaluate your bite and jaw function to identify any issues such as misalignment or TMJ disorders that could affect your overall comfort and oral health.

• Personalised Treatment Plan:
  Based on our findings, we’ll discuss any necessary treatments or preventive measures with you. We believe in a collaborative approach, ensuring that you are informed and comfortable with your treatment options.
