What is included in a comprehensive dental exam?

A comprehensive dental exam at our Anderson, SC dental office is a thorough oral health evaluation that includes checking all areas of the oral cavity, such as all extraoral structures, intraoral structures, and soft tissues. We recommend receiving a comprehensive dental exam every three years.

During this personalized dental exam, we do the following:

  • Periodontal exam (gums)
  • Dental exam (teeth)
  • Occlusal exam (bite analysis)
  • Radiographic exam (x-rays and scans)
  • Oral cancer screening
  • TMJ exam (jaw joints)
  • Aesthetic exam (appearance of the teeth and gums)

Dr. Patrick Carter and our Hopewell Family Dentistry team perform comprehensive dental exams to ensure we know everything about your oral health and wellness. This type of exam allows us to make the appropriate recommendations for treatment plans, such as:

  • Dental implants to replace missing teeth
  • Replacing worn or damaged dental restorations
  • New oral appliances or dentures 
  • Aesthetic changes to the teeth or gums
  • Medical diagnosis
