During your examination, we aim to find out all the details regarding your dental status. This includes a discussion about any current problems you may be experiencing and a subsequent thorough check of all the structures within and around the oral cavity. We use a variety of different investigative procedures including digital x-rays and special cameras during the examination process. This helps us to form accurate diagnoses and communicate any findings with you in a simple and informative manner. The examination also includes mouth cancer screening.
