The Dental Check-up
Each person has different oral care needs, meaning every treatment will be unique. During your visit, you and the dentist will review:
Your Medical/Dental History: Your dentist will review your previous dental/ medical history. They will also speak to any concerns you currently have and address them.
A Complete Oral Exam: Here, we will take X-rays, look inside your mouth and thoroughly assess your oral health.
Dental Treatment Plan: The dentist will review your next steps after your exam. They will help create a plan to achieve a brighter, healthier smile.
