Comprehensive exams & professional cleanings
The foundation of lifelong oral health. Regular exams catch problems early, when they are easiest and least expensive to treat.
What your comprehensive exam includes
Visual Assessment
Every tooth surface inspected for cavities, cracks, and failing restorations. Wear patterns indicating grinding or erosion are identified, palpation detects fractures and loose work, and everything is compared against previous exams to track change over time.
Digital X-rays
Bitewings and full-mouth films reveal cavities between teeth and beneath existing restorations, and show bone-level problems. CBCT scanning visualises complex anatomy in 3D. Digital imaging uses around 90 percent less radiation than traditional film.
Gum Screening
Pocket depths measured around every tooth to assess bone loss. Bleeding indicates active disease. Recession and other changes are documented, and tracking over time is what guides treatment decisions.
Oral Cancer Screening
Visual and tactile inspection of all soft tissues to identify suspicious lesions. Early-stage oral cancer is highly curable with prompt treatment — which is the entire argument for screening at every visit.
Bite Analysis
How your upper and lower teeth meet, assessed for malocclusion. Jaw movement is checked for TMJ problems, and bite discrepancies causing trauma are identified and corrected.
Professional Cleaning
Removal of subgingival tartar that harbours disease-causing bacteria, root scaling where surfaces are exposed, and polishing to reduce staining and bacterial colonisation.
Why it matters more than it sounds
Early detection: a small cavity is a straightforward, inexpensive filling. The same cavity ignored becomes a root canal, a crown, or an extraction.
Cost savings: prevention is consistently cheaper than treatment. Regular cleanings and early intervention prevent the expensive procedures entirely rather than delaying them.
Systemic health: oral health connects to heart health, diabetes management, and immune function. A dental exam frequently picks up the first signs of conditions that have nothing to do with teeth.
