What Are Dental Exams and X-rays?

A dental exam is a complete check of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Dr. Kim looks for signs of decay, gum disease, and other concerns you might not notice on your own. X-rays let us see what is happening below the surface, including the roots of your teeth and your jawbone. Together, exams and X-rays provide a comprehensive picture of your oral health, enabling us to create a care plan that meets your needs.

Is a Dental Cleaning Right for You?

If your teeth and gums are healthy during your exam, we can often complete a cleaning on the same visit. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone cannot reach. For patients with gum concerns, we also offer deep cleanings to restore gum health. Dr. Kim will talk with you about what your smile needs and help you decide on the best next step.
