What Happens During A Dental Exam

A dental exam involves a thorough evaluation of your oral health. The dentist will assess the teeth, gums, bite, and surrounding tissues while looking for signs of dental concerns that may not be visible to patients.

Depending on your oral health needs, digital X-rays may also be recommended to evaluate areas below the gumline and between the teeth.

Dental exams may help support:

  • Early detection of dental concerns
  • Healthier teeth and gums
  • Monitoring of existing dental work
  • Preventive dental care
  • Long-term oral health
  • Overall oral function

Our dentist in Chilliwack will review your oral health carefully and discuss any findings or recommendations during your visit.
