Foundational to routine dental care, exams provide a comprehensive assessment of teeth, gums, bite, and your overall oral health.
For your first appointment at General Dental, you can expect to receive a comprehensive exam and a thorough cleaning by a professional hygienist. These appointments take approximately two hours.
Dental exams for existing patients generally take an hour, depending on individual needs.
Digital x-rays are taken when clinically indicated, not as a part of every exam.
Oral cancer screening comes standard and is included in every annual dental examination. It includes visual and tactile evaluation of the mouth, tongue, and surrounding areas, but doesn’t require additional appointment time.
