Comprehensive Dental Examination
The starting point to the finest dental care is a comprehensive and thorough examination. A complete examination is performed for you so that you will know exactly the condition of your oral health.
It involves more than just looking at the teeth. We examine all the hard and soft tissues of the head and neck, tempomandibular joints (TMJ) and performs an oral cancer check routinely. We utilize the most modern and up to date technology to help us accomplish this thorough examination; i.e. study models, panoramic radiographs, intra-oral radiographs and digital intra-oral photographs.
Periodically the examination is updated to confirm the state of your oral health.
