Exam & Consultation
No two mouths are the same. Every person is unique and has their individual health care needs. We get to know our patients during a pre-clinical conversation to discover their concerns about dental treatment in their own words. We then do a comprehensive dental examination with the appropriate digital x-rays, diagnostic models and photographs. This is followed by a free consultation to fully explain all aspects of the treatment necessary, to address any questions, and to help educate our patients.
Digital X-Rays
We are currently using high tech digital imaging instead of the traditional film packets. These images are instant and can be viewed on a computer monitor. Furthermore, it takes less radiation to form an image. Radiation exposure can be reduced by up to 90% less than traditional x-rays.
Intraoral Camera
Through the use of a small intraoral video camera you will be able to see what the doctor is trying to explain; whether it be a fractured cusp or new decay surrounding an old filling. No more squinting to look at small x-rays. These pictures are shown on our large computer monitors.
