Health Assessment

Before embarking on a smile makeover, a thorough health assessment is vital to evaluate our oral health and pinpoint any underlying issues. This initial evaluation allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to our specific needs and desired outcomes. The dentist will examine our teeth, gums, and overall oral structures, often utilizing diagnostic tools like X-rays for a detailed understanding.

Key elements of the health assessment include:

  • Checking for cavities and tooth decay.
  • Evaluating gum health and detecting any periodontal disease.
  • Appraising the alignment and condition of our teeth.
  • Using X-rays to examine jawbone health and underlying structures.
