Check up’s
The dental examination is a systematic process during which your dentist will investigate many facets of your oral and systemic health in order to identify pathologies or concerns and develop a uniquely customized treatment plan that is catered towards maximizing your oral health while meeting your goals.
This appointment will generally last up to 30 minutes and is used to do a full examination of your teeth and oral soft tissues (gums, tongue, cheek) and jaw joints.
A complete charting of all previous fillings and crowns, as well as lost teeth, will be done. All teeth in need of treatment will also be recorded, whereafter a personalized treatment plan will be put together, and appointments scheduled accordingly to suit your specific treatment needs.
If you had a specific complaint this will also be seen to and examined.
This examination is done visually, but also with the help of our intra-oral camera with which we may take pictures to illustrate and explain to you exactly what is going on inside your mouth. We may also make use of digital x-rays to help us in our diagnoses.
We encourage our patients to feel free to engage with us and ask questions and be part of the decision making and treatment planning.
With us, your involvement is an integral part of our team’s success.
