Dental Exams at Sunridge Dental Clinic

Dental exams usually take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your oral and general health status.

Visual Exam

Our dentists will use illumination and tactile to examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay, cavities or abscesses. Regular exams can help you seek timely treatment for problems when they are the most treatable.

Diagnostic X-Rays

Digital sensors use fraction of exposure found in traditional x-ray film to capture detailed x-ray images. X-rays are taken to help diagnose cavities, abscesses, fractures, or any other abnormalities in the head/neck area.

Screening for Gum Disease

We will check your gums for redness, swelling, tenderness or bleeding. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss and systemic diseases like stroke and heart disease.

Oral Cancer Screening

Early oral cancer detection can increase the chances of recovery. Our dentists will examine the tissues of your mouth including your gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw. If we suspect any unusual changes in your mouth tissues, we may suggest a biopsy and microscopic analysis by a qualified lab. There may be other non-cancerous lesions in your mouth from oral warts to autoimmune lesions. Dentists at Sunridge Dental Clinic will use their oral pathology knowledge and evaluate any abnormalities and determine if they should monitor it or remove it. Oral cancer can afflict anyone although tobacco users put themselves at a higher risk. At Sunridge Dental Clinic we have a program to help support you if you’re determined to quit using tobacco.
