Dental Exams & Check Ups

Dr. Gordon’s number one concern during your dental exam is to make sure you feel comfortable about coming to the dentist.

During your dental check up, the entire staff will make sure to take the extra time and attention needed to calm anxieties by explaining the dental procedure and will demonstrate just how our instruments and equipment operate.

Dr. Gordon will complete a comprehensive dental examination, evaluating the teeth and supporting structures, such as bone and soft tissue. A thorough periodontal (gum) assessment will be completed to assess the health of the gums.

We proudly offer digital radiography which exposes you to significantly less radiation than traditional film. Digital radiography enables us to highlight potential problem areas on a computer screen so that you can see them and help you understand your needs. An oral cancer screening will be completed at each visit to rule out any oral pathology.

Very often, photographs are taken with our intra-oral camera to share with the patient so they can see exactly what we see! All of the pertinent findings are shared on our digital monitors and discussed with patients so they too have a thorough understanding of their oral status.
