Comprehensive Dental Examination
Below are some of the things an examination may alert you to
-
- Underneath existing fillings
- In-between teeth
- Under the gum line
- Caries (tooth decay)
- Fractured restorations
- Cracks in teeth
- Gingivitis
- Periodontitis with associated bone loss
- Abnormal ulcerations
- Jaw tenderness and clicking
- Bruxism (night-time teeth grinding) and clenching
- Early detection of mouth cancers
At the conclusion of the examination, the dentist will walk you through the location, causes and impact of any issues and the reasons for any required treatment. You will then be given a printed quote outlining treatment requirements, number of appointments, items numbers for treatment (to check rebates for health fund members) as well as the total cost divided over each required visit.
The quotes you receive are not estimates and will not change during treatment if you are happy with the plan. We believe the most important thing about the treatment we provide is that out patients are completely aware and educated about what's happening in their mouth and understand that concept of our type of healthcare. Now that you are armed with all the information you need, you can take control of your own dental well-being.
