Examination
When you visit us for a routine examination in Leigh, we can identify issues such as cavities, cracks, and early gum disease before they develop into more serious problems requiring urgent treatment.
A typical examination involves a thorough check of the teeth, gums, cheeks, roof of the mouth and floor of the mouth. We’ll also check your bite, assess the quality of existing fillings, caps or implants for signs of weakness, and identify any areas of plaque build-up that need to be addressed. If you have a retainer or mouth guard, your routine dental exam is an opportunity for us to check the quality of these devices.
Your dental examination is also an opportunity for you to chat with us about any problems you’ve been having with your teeth. For example, if you’ve noticed any new sensitivity, occasional bleeding after brushing, or stains or marks on your teeth, these are things we ought to know when performing a check-up. Plus, if you’re thinking about improving your smile with braces, whitening, or veneers, our Leigh dentist can discuss the available treatments with you. Together, we’ll create a plan to help you achieve your dream smile.
