Examinations

A complete dental examination is required for new patients as well as for existing patients on a periodic basis. An examination assists the dentist and dental team in documenting your existing dental condition as well as identifying any underlying areas of concern. A complete examination consists of an evaluation of the oral cavity, including the teeth and the soft tissues. Limited examinations (emergency or specific examination) may be conducted as required and as the circumstances dictate and are limited to a particular problem or a particular concern and do not necessarily involve an examination of the entire mouth and all the teeth.
