Your Dental Exam

After our doctors get a full understanding of what your concerns may be, they’ll complete a comprehensive examination. They want to become experts in your mouth!. The exam will consist of:

  • Visual examination of your teeth, which may include 2-D and 3-D dental x-rays. Dental X-rays will provide a more comprehensive view of not only teeth, but also vital structures surrounding the teeth as well as your sinuses and airways. This will help us to get a better perspective of your overall health treatment suggestions.
  • Tooth Health: Search for decay, fractures, or inflammatory disease such as temperature or touch
  • Pocket Depths for Periodontal (gum) Disease
  • Photographs, Intraoral & Extraoral to see and co-discover
  • 3D Tooth Scan with Digital Impressions

All of these may indicate why you may be feeling a toothache or contribute to cosmetic improvements. Drs. Malone and Costa will then make the appropriate recommendations for treatment.
