WHAT WE EXAMINE

Our 6-Point Comprehensive Clinical Examination

1. Tooth Enamel & Micro-Cavity Check

Visual and tactile assessment of every tooth surface to catch early demineralization before it requires extensive drilling.

2. Periodontal & Gum Pocket Depth

Gentle millimeter measuring around gumlines to assess gingivitis risk and check for underlying bone support.

3. Low-Dose Digital Radiography

High-definition digital sensors emitting 80-90% less radiation to inspect hidden contact areas between teeth and root tips.

4. Oral Cancer & Soft Tissue Screening

Comprehensive check of palate, tongue, lips, and throat tissues for mucosal changes or early warning signs.

5. Restoration & Margin Integrity

Evaluating the fit and seal of your existing fillings, crowns, and bridges to prevent secondary micro-leakage.

6. Jaw Joint (TMJ) & Occlusion Analysis

Assessing bite balance, wear patterns from nighttime grinding (bruxism), and jaw hinge smoothness.
