Dental Exam

Checks teeth and gums to detect issues early.

Dental exams are for anyone looking to maintain a healthy smile and catch dental issues before they become serious.
A dental exam includes a visual check of your teeth and gums, possible X-rays, and a personalized discussion of your oral health and any treatment recommendations.
Dental exams take about 30 minutes, longer if X-rays or additional screenings are needed.
Dental exams are quick and essential. Don’t skip them—even if you’re not in pain, small issues can become major problems.
Dental exams require no recovery. If X-rays or cleaning were done, you might have mild gum sensitivity temporarily.
