Prevention is the best investment you can make in your smile. Regular exams let us catch small things early, before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems. Your check up includes a thorough look at your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues, plus a conversation about anything that has changed since your last visit.

What Happens During an Exam

A visual inspection of every tooth and all the soft tissue in your mouth. A gum health assessment measuring pocket depth around each tooth. An oral cancer screening. A review of any existing restorations. Digital X rays if needed. And a one on one conversation with your dentist about findings and next steps.

How Often Should You Come In?

For most patients, every six months is the right cadence. If you have active gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or other risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits. We will work with you to find the schedule that keeps your mouth healthy without over treating.
