Services & Procedures

Diagnostic - Exam and Diagnosis
A Comprehensive Oral Exam begins with the soft tissue examination, followed by an intraoral examination once the X-rays have been processed.  At our office, we continue the use of Film X-Rays.  Consultation and Treatment Planning is followed after the diagnosis, an Obstructive Sleep Apnea evaluation, and Gum Disease Diagnosis.  Limited and Emergency Exams focus only on the immediate problem the patient is experiencing at the time and may include only necessary X-rays.
