What is included in a dental exam?

dental examinations in South Miami, FL

A dental exam includes a thorough inspection of your teeth and gums to check for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. The dentist also examines your bite and jaw alignment, and may take X-rays to get a detailed view of your teeth's structure and roots. Additionally, your dental exam often includes a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

Step 1
initial checkup

Discuss your oral health followed by a visual examination of your teeth.

Step 2

Digital X-rays are taken to reveal hidden issues like decay or bone loss.

Step 3
results and plan

Review findings with the dentist and create a personalized treatment plan if needed.

the all-on-4 process

The all-on-4 process begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health. We then outline a treatment plan that utilizes digital imaging to guide the placement of four implants. During the procedure, implants are inserted, and temporary teeth are attached for immediate use. After healing, permanent custom-made teeth are affixed, ensuring a secure, natural-looking, and lasting smile restoration.

the Benefits of dental exams

Dental exams and X-rays help detect oral health issues early, preventing more serious problems in the future. They provide a comprehensive view of your teeth and gums, identifying cavities, bone loss, and other concerns that may not be visible during a regular checkup. Regular exams and X-rays ensure timely treatment, promoting long-term oral health and overall well-being.

Common questions

  • How often should I get dental exams and X-rays?

    Dental exams are typically recommended every six months to monitor oral health, while the frequency of X-rays varies based on your dental history, age, and any specific issues your dentist wants to monitor.

  • Are dental X-rays safe?

    Yes, dental X-rays are considered safe. Modern X-ray technology uses very low levels of radiation, and additional protective measures, like lead aprons, are used to minimize exposure even further.

  • Do dental exams and X-rays hurt?

    Dental exams and X-rays are generally painless. Some patients might feel slight discomfort when holding the X-ray film in place, but it only lasts a few seconds per image.

  • Will my insurance cover the cost of exams and X-rays?

    Many dental insurance plans cover routine exams and X-rays, especially if they're part of preventive care. However, coverage can vary, so it’s a good idea to check with your insurance provider for details on your specific plan.
