Exams & X-Rays
Your dental health is important to us. That’s why we take time to do a thorough exam using state-of-the-art x-rays to get a better understanding of your particular dental condition. Using the latest technology, we will monitor the health of your teeth, gums and mouth and be able to make a precise diagnosis and recommendations for any necessary treatments.
At your initial exam at Smile Dental Clinics in Phoenix, AZ, a patient concierge will warmly greet you and explain what you can expect during your visit. Depending on your particular case, we may use any number of diagnostic tools that include:
- Digital X-Rays: Unlike traditional x-rays, digital x-rays reduce the exposure of radiation by up to 90% and the images are automatically uploaded to a computer for immediate viewing.
- Digital Panoramic: A panoramic dental x-ray that uses a very small amount of radiation to take a 2-dimensional x-ray of your mouth.
- CT Scan: This x-ray equipment produces a 3-D image of the teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone.
- Intraoral Camera: A small, handheld digital camera with powerful magnification that allows you to see the inside of your mouth on the screen as we examine you.
The examination will be thorough and the patient concierge will be present at all times to help guide you through the process and help you communicate questions and concerns you may have. The doctor will do a visual oral cancer screening as well as an oral lesion screening if necessary. We are able to provide you with informational videos as well as models of restorations so you can better understand the treatment options we present. We also have plenty of before and after photos of actual patients that allow you to see what you may expect for results. You’ll also meet with our hygienist who will give you a thorough evaluation. At the end of the exam, you will be able to have a financial consultation with your patient concierge.
We look forward to seeing you at Smile Dental Clinics in Phoenix. Please call our office to schedule your exam today.
