Checkups

Your First Step Toward a Lifetime of Oral Wellness

Strong teeth and gums form the foundation for a healthy smile. Dental problems like periodontal disease and tooth decay only get worse if left untreated. A checkup lets us identify these offenders and stop them in their tracks.

During your checkup or new patient exam, Dr. Shahriar will scan each of your teeth for signs of decay using our non-invasive DIAGNOdent laser. She will also check your gums for signs of periodontal disease and recommend therapy, if indicated. We’ll screen you for oral cancer with a state-of-the-art tool called ViziLite, which spots suspicious lesions beneath the surface. Oral cancer, when found and treated early, has an 80% cure rate. A bite assessment will show us if you’re at risk for TMJ disorder. We’ll also take pictures of your smile with an intraoral camera and display them on a chairside monitor. Dr. Shahriar will use these images to explain her findings and help you decide which treatments options to pursue for a great smile.
