Asseff Dental Cosmetics & General Dentistry believe the best place to start with any new patient is with an initial comprehensive dental exam and xrays. The exam will help lay the groundwork for any future recommendations and that’s also where we get a good close up view of your teeth and gums.
A comprehensive dental exam will ensure that all of your dental health needs are recognized and assessed.
An initial comprehensive dental exam includes the following:
- Head and neck oral cancer examination
- Temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) evaluation
- Evaluation of your occlusion( how your upper and lower teeth relate to each other in function)
- Periodontal examination and evaluation of the supporting bone and tissue around the teeth
- Evaluation of current dental restorations, detection of new decay and fractured teeth
- Esthetic evaluation of your smile
