Dental Exams

Comprehensive and Periodic exam

Comprehensive and Periodic Exam

During a comprehensive or periodic exam your doctor will assess your oral and dental health, including current restorations, caries, and gum disease. Your doctor will also evaluate your radiographs and perform an oral cancer screening.

Finally, your doctor will develop a treatment plan for any issues that were found during the exam. This plan may include treatments such as fillings, crowns, gum treatments, or extractions. Your doctor will discuss the various options with you, and together you will decide which is best.

Emergency Exam

At CreekView Dental we understand that dental emergencies may happen at any time, which is why we always try to offer same day emergency appointments.

The most common dental emergencies are usually related to advanced tooth decay, tooth fractures or gum disease. During the emergency exam your doctor will focus on your specific area of concern, with the goal of diagnosing and treating the condition to alleviate pain, infection, or possible inflammation. During the emergency visit your doctor will recommend treatment that could be done in one appointment like dental fillings or extractions, or treatments that require more than one visit like a root canal or deep cleanings.

Do not hesitate to call our office if you are experiencing a dental emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Who are dental exams aimed for?

All children and adults are recommended to get a dental exam at least every 6 months, with the goal of detecting any dental disease in the early stages thus preventing further damage.

Why do I need a dental exam?

Regular dental exams help identify diseases early and help to prevent bigger and more costly treatments.

You might need dental exams more often than every 6 months if your dentist recommends it, usually due to high risk for dental caries or periodontal disease.

Why do I need radiographs?

Dental radiographs will help the dentist evaluate your teeth and gum health, and to diagnose any dental problems that are not visible with just a clinical examination.
