What Do Complete Oral Exams Involve?
Complete oral exams involve a series of painless and accurate procedures aimed at identifying problems like tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, and signs of oral cancer.
Visual Exam
Our dentists in Great Neck, NY, will examine your teeth, lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, and neck for any abnormalities. Suspicious signs could include stains, discolorations, holes, redness, or swelling in the gums or pus.
Diagnostic X-Rays
If the dentist needs a more clear picture, we may suggest a diagnostic x-ray to reveal hidden cavities, decay, or infection in the subgingival layers. Modern digital imaging allows 360-degree imaging, and the dentist can retrieve the images for future reference too.
Occlusion and Smile Analysis
We evaluate your bite and smile, and our dentist near you may recommend further treatment tailored to your needs.
Screening for Tooth Decay
Tooth decay may not always show up in the form of visible symptoms. Our trained team will carefully evaluate your oral cavity for receding gums, blackening of enamel, and tiny holes.
Periodontal Disease Screening
Gum disease can weaken the tooth socket and cause bone loss. In extreme cases, the infection may affect the overall being of the patient. Our dentist at Great Neck Dental Associates will look for swelling, tenderness, gum pockets, and bleeding.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening will be performed as part of routine checkups or can be scheduled separately. The dentist will look for soreness, bumps, lesions, or patches in the mouth, lips, gums, and tongue. Our VELscope®️ tool helps highlight abnormal cancerous and precancerous cells that may be hidden from view.
