Get the Personalized Care You Deserve
A Thorough Approach to Your Oral Health
Comprehensive Health Assessment
We begin your first visit by taking the time to understand your overall health. This includes recording your pulse, blood pressure, and reviewing your medical history to ensure we’re offering the safest, most effective care tailored to you.
Advanced Diagnostic Records
To accurately assess your oral health, we use a range of diagnostic tools. This includes capturing six detailed intraoral photographs, full-mouth X-rays, and examining your TMJ, muscles, and performing an oral cancer screening.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Following your exam, we sit down with you to review all findings and create a customized treatment plan. This plan prioritizes your unique needs and focuses on long-term oral health, ensuring your smile stays healthy and vibrant.
