The next step of your first appointment is the oral examination. During the exam, your dentist will take x-rays and perform an oral evaluation to check your:

Jaw joints
They’ll look for signs of:
Gum disease
Decay
Enamel wear
Oral cancer
Gum recession
Bruxism
Cracked teeth
TMJ disorder
Based on the oral evaluation and x-rays (as well as your input), your Bixby Knolls dentist will create your custom treatment plans. The plan is comprehensive in that it addresses your preventative needs (regular cleanings and exams), restorative needs (fillings and crowns), and cosmetic goals (teeth whitening and veneers).
