A strong foundation of any dental treatment plan is a thorough comprehensive dental exam. Comprehensive dental exams entail far more than just teeth cleaning. Once the exam is complete, we translate the findings regarding your teeth, gums, and mouth into an individualized treatment plan that includes everything from immediate needs, to eventual needs, to elective procedures our patients may want to consider. The American Dental Association defines a comprehensive oral exam as an “extensive evaluation and the recording of all extraoral, intraoral and soft tissues”.
