Your first visit to our office at Greenville Smiles is not only crucial for establishing your oral health baseline but also sets the tone for our long-term, committed dental care. We pride ourselves on our comprehensive initial oral examination, a process meticulously designed to ensure a deep understanding of your dental health and personal needs. Our expert team dives into a detailed review of your medical and dental histories. We consider this an essential step in creating a holistic picture of your dental health, allowing us to tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your health history and oral care needs.
Every concern you have about your dental health receives our utmost attention. We listen to your dental concerns and any symptoms you might be experiencing. This personalized approach helps us adapt and devise a suitable dental care plan, ensuring your needs and comfort are at the forefront of our dental care services. This initial identification of any potential issues also aids in preventive care, addressing problems early before they escalate into more serious conditions.
Following the comprehensive analysis of your dental history and concerns, we carry out a thorough clinical examination. This in-depth examination is multifaceted, covering an oral cancer screening, periodontal evaluation, an analysis of your occlusion (bite), and a thorough examination of your teeth, their supporting structures, and the complete orofacial area. Our goal is to uncover any hidden issues that might be lurking beneath the surface. An oral cancer screening is a preventive measure designed to catch early signs of oral cancer, enhancing chances of successful treatment and recovery. Periodontal evaluation allows us to assess the health of your gums and diagnose any gum diseases in their early stages.
Analyzing your bite is an essential part of the examination, helping us identify any issues related to a misaligned bite, which might lead to problems like jaw pain, tooth wear, and difficulty in chewing. Thorough examination of your teeth and their supporting structures helps us detect any signs of decay, cavities, or other dental issues that might need immediate attention.
Supplementing the clinical examination, we may take diagnostic dental films, as needed. These films are crucial for revealing problems not visible to the naked eye, such as issues beneath your gums or within your teeth. They also give us a better understanding of your oral health, helping us design an effective and personalized treatment plan for you.
Our comprehensive initial oral examination service at Greenville Smiles is a testament to our commitment to prioritizing your oral health. In our hands, you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing your dental health is being handled with utmost care and expertise.
