A Closer Look at Your Oral Health
A comprehensive dental exam is more than just checking for cavities—it's a full-picture assessment of your mouth, jaw, gums, and teeth. At Empower Your Smile, we use advanced tools and a compassionate approach to ensure nothing gets overlooked. Whether you're a new patient or it's time for your annual exam, we provide the insight and care you need to maintain a healthy, confident smile.
What Is a Comprehensive Dental Exam?
This in-depth evaluation is your oral health baseline. It allows us to detect early signs of problems like decay, gum disease, oral cancer, bite issues, and more. Unlike a standard checkup, this exam covers all aspects of your oral and dental function—so we can build a truly personalized plan for long-term care.
It’s especially important for new patients, those experiencing changes in their health, or anyone who hasn’t had a dental visit in a while.
What’s Included in Your Exam?
At Empower Your Smile, we tailor your exam to your specific needs—but a typical visit includes:
Medical & Dental History Review
We take time to understand your full health picture, including any medications, past treatments, or conditions that could impact your dental care.
​
Digital X-rays
Our low-radiation digital X-rays help us see between teeth, beneath the gum line, and inside the bone structure—essential for spotting problems early.
​
Gum & Bone Health Evaluation
We gently assess your gums for signs of inflammation, infection, or recession and measure periodontal pockets to identify early gum disease.
​
Tooth-by-Tooth Inspection
Each tooth is examined for cavities, cracks, wear, or damage, with a special focus on the areas most prone to hidden decay.
​
Oral Cancer Screening
Using visual and tactile methods, we check your cheeks, lips, tongue, and throat for any suspicious lesions or abnormalities.
​
Bite & TMJ Assessment
We evaluate your bite alignment and jaw joint function to detect signs of teeth grinding, clenching, or TMJ disorder.
Why This Exam Matters
Preventative care starts with awareness. Many serious dental conditions begin quietly—without pain or obvious symptoms. A comprehensive exam allows us to detect concerns before they become complex or costly.
Early detection means:
-
Less invasive treatment
-
Greater comfort and peace of mind
-
Better long-term health outcomes
