If you are preparing for your first dental exam at our Calgary clinic, you might be wondering what to expect and how we support your oral health. At Martindale Smiles, we make sure every visit is comfortable, thorough, and centred on your needs. Here is what you can expect when you come in for a dental exam with us.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
During a dental exam at Martindale Smiles in Calgary, we perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite to assess your oral health. We aim to get a complete picture of your current dental needs and provide recommendations to keep your smile healthy.
Using Modern Technology: Digital X-Rays and Beyond
Digital X-rays are taken as needed during your dental exam, using low-radiation technology to detect cavities, bone loss, and other hidden issues that are not visible by eye. We also use up-to-date equipment such as intraoral cameras that allow us to provide precise, comprehensive care for all ages.
Professional Cleaning for a Healthy Smile
After cleaning, we polish your teeth and may provide a fluoride treatment to keep your smile healthy and bright.
Gum Health and Preventive Assessments
We assess your gum health, check for signs of gum disease, and review your overall oral health during the dental exam. Routine exams and professional cleanings help spot cavities, gum disease, or other concerns before they become bigger problems.
Oral Cancer Screening: Part of Every Exam
An oral cancer screening is a routine part of every dental exam, consisting of a visual and physical check of your mouth, tongue, and throat.
Your Personalized Care Plan
After the examination and cleaning, we discuss our findings with you, answer your questions, and provide personalized recommendations about any treatment needs. We explain your options so you can make informed decisions about your care plan.
How Often Should You Book a Dental Exam?
We recommend visiting for a dental exam and cleaning at least twice a year to help us spot cavities, gum disease, and other concerns early.
Your Comfort Matters
Our dental office is designed to create a calming atmosphere for all ages, including anxious patients, and we use up-to-date technology such as digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to provide comprehensive care. Our caring team is here to listen to your concerns and help you feel at ease throughout your visit.
