Our practice is located in Country Hills, NW Calgary, and we serve families, adults, children, and seniors across NW Calgary and surrounding communities. We believe in providing gentle, personalized dental care for all patients, including those who are anxious or new to our office. Our dental exams focus on keeping you informed, comfortable, and in control of your oral health before any treatment begins.

Preparing for Your Dental Exam

Routine dental exams at our clinic usually start with an introduction and a review of your patient forms or a discussion about your dental concerns and medical history. We encourage you to download and fill out our patient forms ahead of your appointment to help us get to know you and streamline your visit. If you cannot complete forms ahead of time, arriving 15 minutes early to fill them out in our office is recommended. This ensures we have all of your important health and dental information as we begin your care.

What Happens During a Dental Exam?

During your dental exam, our dentist will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, including digital X-rays to assess your oral health. We use modern dental technology such as digital X-rays and intraoral cameras as part of routine dental exams, with no extra charge for these services. Your visit may also include an oral cancer screening, which we incorporate into our routine checkups for early detection and peace of mind.

After the examination, we will discuss our findings with you and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Our goal is to keep you informed and comfortable at every stage of your appointment.

The Importance of Routine Checkups and Cleanings

Our routine dental exams often include a professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, helping to prevent gum disease and cavities. By visiting us regularly for dental exams, you give us the opportunity to catch cavities, gum disease, or enamel wear early, reducing the need for more complex treatments later on. We typically recommend dental exams every six months so we can monitor changes and help you maintain your overall health and wellness.

Technology for Better Dental Exams

Digital X-rays are an important part of regular dental exams, providing a detailed look at your teeth and supporting structures. We use intraoral cameras during exams so you can see your smile and any areas of concern in high definition.
