Dental Express

As a new, current or returning patient you can expect a comprehensive exam, cleaning, digital x-rays (if needed), and an oral cancer screening. Our routine dental exams include a visual inspection of each tooth surface to pinpoint new areas of decay and to inspect teeth that may have had prior restorations.

Your teeth and gums will be thoroughly cleaned to remove plaque buildup, tartar, and stains. Getting your teeth cleaned twice a year helps to prevent periodontal (gum) disease that can cause significant dental problems, including loss of teeth, if left undetected and untreated. You may need a simple cleaning, periodontal maintenance, or scaling and root planing.

We may take X-rays to check the side surfaces of your teeth, the area beneath the gums and other spots that are not visible. X-rays are typically taken according to a schedule and not at every appointment. We feature digital X-radiographs and have a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner and panoramic X-ray on-site.

Quick and painless, an oral cancer screening is essential for early diagnosis and prevention. Your face, lips, neck, inside of the nose and oral cavity all will be inspected as part of an oral cancer screening. Your dentist will look for asymmetrical areas, swollen spots, bumps, patches of color, ulcerations or other irregularities.

After we manage the problem at hand, such as a toothache, we will focus on addressing the whole picture. Dr. B.A.K AZAD will develop a personalized treatment plan designed to meet your oral health needs and budget. She will explain all of the necessary steps that will be taken to get your mouth to a healthy state.

The most common type of extraction offered at our clinics is wisdom teeth removal. In most cases, wisdom teeth will grow in an uncomfortable way that may add pressure to the teeth causing pain. In most cases regarding orthodontic work, it is suggested to remove wisdom teeth to avoid complication with completed treatment. In other situations, the Dentist may suggest extraction if there is deep decay in a tooth or a serious infection has occurred, that cannot be healed.
