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.

The Benefits of Routine Dental Exams

Regular dental exams protect your smile and your overall health.

Catching cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer early makes treatment simpler and more effective.

Preventive Savings

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.

I recently had an appointment at Burlingame Dental, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the cozy and calming ambiance. It's not often you find a dental office that feels so welcoming and puts you at ease right away. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive throughout my visit. Every interaction, from the front desk to the dental assistants, was friendly and professional. They genuinely seem to care about their patients' comfort. But the real highlight was the treatment I received from Dr. Kim. I've had dental work in the past that was less than comfortable, but this was a completely different experience. The treatment was remarkably smooth and relieving. Dr. Kim has a gentle touch and a reassuring demeanor that made the whole process stress-free. I felt like I was in very capable and caring hands. If you're looking for a dental practice that combines a warm atmosphere with exceptional, gentle care, look no further. I'm so glad I found them and will definitely be returning for all my future dental needs!
