Examination

The examination involves looking for cavities and any bad fillings that need to be replaced. We also check the gums, tongue and palate. In some cases, an examination of the jaw joints and chewing muscles is also required.

We also take x-rays to get a comprehensive picture of your dental status. At City Dental, we use the latest digital x-ray technology, which allows us to quickly display the images on a monitor. Digital x-rays require a lower radiation dose and are more environmentally friendly. Digital x-rays make it easier for us to show and explain what we see.

After the examination, we make a diagnosis and tell you what dental care you need. You will also receive a cost estimate that you, as a patient, can compare with other dentists’ cost estimates.
