A Thorough Approach to Your Oral Health
Get the Personalized Care You Deserve
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.
What is the Difference?
The York River Dental Experience
From the moment you walk into York River Dental, you’ll immediately notice the difference. Unlike many dental offices that rush through cleanings and exams, we believe that quality care takes time. At York River Dental, we understand that just because something is done quickly, it doesn’t mean it’s done right—especially when it comes to your oral health. Dr. Eduardo Lopez and our dedicated team are committed to providing you with exceptional, personalized care. We take the time to truly understand your needs, your health goals, and ensure that your treatment is tailored to fit your unique lifestyle. Your well-being is our top priority, and we’re here to make your visit as comfortable and thorough as possible.
