Why exams matter
Exams help catch small changes before they turn into larger issues. They also give you space to talk through symptoms, questions, or habits that may be affecting your teeth or gums.
What happens during an exam
We begin with a conversation about your health and symptoms. From there, we assess your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite, often using digital X-rays, intraoral imaging, or a digital scanner. Everything we see is explained in clear, simple terms.
