What to Expect During Your Dental Exam

One dentist appointment could change your life, and at Jaffe Dental Group, we aim to be the reason for your bright, white smile. In our office, we make your dental care as comfortable and hassle-free as possible—addressing a variety of dental concerns and conditions in just one visit.

Diagnostic X-Rays

X-rays play a crucial role in detecting various forms of tooth decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. Our X-ray technicians will be able to see tooth and root positions in order to determine if more complex dental procedures are necessary to correct the issues.

Oral Cancer Screening

In order to detect early signs of cancerous cells, we’ll check your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Gum Disease Evaluation

Periodontal disease can cause a variety of dental problems, including excessively bleeding gums, loose teeth, bad breath, and more. With early prevention and detection, we can stop gum disease before it spreads.

Tooth Decay Examination

If left untreated, the buildup of plaque and bacteria can lead to tooth rot and other serious dental woes. Using specialized dental instruments, we’ll examine all surfaces of your teeth for decay and clean the area thoroughly.

Existing Restoration Check-In

For those who have previously undergone dental procedures, including crowns, fillings, dentures, and dental implants, our dentists will examine the work to ensure it’s still in working order. If not, we’ll either fix the issue immediately or schedule another appointment to have it taken care of.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly Asked Dental Exam & X-Ray Questions

What issues can dental X-rays identify?

X-rays are an excellent way for dentists to understand how your teeth and roots are positioned below the surface. This comprehensive knowledge will allow us to make critical decisions in terms of your dental care and stop potential shifting before it happens. Additionally, X-rays can detect decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss.

How long does a new patient dental exam and X-ray take?

All our dental exams typically take up to an hour to complete. Depending on the findings of your exam, a follow-up appointment may be required to tackle larger, more time-consuming procedures.

How often should I get dental X-rays?

If you see your dentist on a regular basis, have excellent oral hygiene, and aren’t experiencing any dental problems, you might only need X-rays once a year. Children, however, have teeth that are constantly shifting and moving, so X-rays may be a more frequent occurrence.
