Comprehensive Examinations
and Low Dose Digital X-Rays
At South Shore Dental Group, we commit to offering you the best possible dental care, beginning with our comprehensive and meticulous examinations.
At South Shore Dental Group, we firmly stand by thorough and accurate diagnostics. We pride ourselves in conducting detailed examinations, often leading our new patients to feel more in control of their oral health than ever before.
Here's what our standard comprehensive examination entails:
Teeth, Gums, and Oral Soft Tissues Examination: We meticulously assess your existing restorations, decay, periodontal (gum) disease, and potential orthodontic issues.
Low-Dose Digital X-rays: Essential for the detection of decay, bone defects due to periodontal disease, cysts, and bone lesions, we use low-dose digital intraoral and panoramic X-rays, as and when needed.
Intra-Oral Photographs: We visually document your teeth, which not only assists us in explaining our treatment recommendations to you but also enables us to monitor any issues that might develop over time.
Oral Cancer Screening: We thoroughly examine your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any potential signs of oral cancer.
Gum Disease Evaluation: We check the gums and bone around your teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
Diagnostic Study Models: These models of your mouth enable us to properly plan complex reconstructive treatments.
Specialty Consultations: Should the need arise, we arrange for specialty consultations to ensure your dental health is given the utmost care.
