Your Comprehensive Oral Exam in Scottsdale

As part of your new patient evaluation, Dr. Lernor performs an oral health physical to fully evaluate the soft and hard tissues that make up your smile and the orofacial anatomy surrounding it. The more thorough we are, the better we can make recommendations regarding the future health of your teeth and gums.

What Is Involved in a Comprehensive Oral Exam in Scottsdale?

During your six month visit, Dr. Lernor will thoroughly evaluate your teeth and existing dental work to pinpoint issues that may need to be intercepted. Through early diagnosis, we’re able to reduce the extent (and costs) of treatments that you need in the future.

Will I Need Dental X-rays?

As thoroughly as Dr. Lernor examines your teeth, there will always be some areas that aren’t visible during a visual assessment. We use low-radiation digital radiography to capture images of the spaces between, inside, and around your teeth for the most comprehensive examination possible.
Digital X-rays allow Dr. Lernor to assess:
How frequently x-rays are taken will depend on your oral health risks, past concerns, and the treatment being discussed. In most cases, we take a panoramic or full mouth series of radiographs during every comprehensive oral examination (every 3-5 years) with limited x-rays on an annual basis at alternating dental checkups.

Book Your New Patient Exam Today

Dr. Lernor feels that your comprehensive patient assessment shouldn’t be rushed. We ask that you reserve about an hour of your time for this thorough examination process. The more we understand your unique smile, the better we can care for your individual oral health needs and concerns.

I don’t usually write reviews but I’ve been going to Dr. Lernor for for over two years and I have had many dental experiences before. I only wish I knew him along time ago. his attention to detail and your treatment compared to none i had before I’m a happy patient for his work. He also has other care providers that are top-notch and give him praise for his work.

Quick and easy, all the staff were very friendly! My teeth cleaning was smooth, and not really painful at all. Even got to watch a home makeover show on the tv while getting my teeth worked on!

Dr. Lernor and staff were great. They made me feel as comfortable as possible during my treatment. Dr. Lernor even called me the next day to see how I was doing. Thank you.

I've been a patient of Dr. Lerner's for over a year and this practice consistently impresses me. He is meticulous, thorough, and has an exceptionally light hand — you leave the chair feeling well cared for, not just treated. The entire staff is outstanding, including Whitney, the newest hygienist, who fits seamlessly into the team. Family-owned and genuinely feels like it. Highly recommend.

Beautiful restoration on a front tooth. He always calls a day later to see how you are doing. He has been my dentist for over 20 years and I strongly recommend him.

Inside a Comprehensive Oral Exam in Scottsdale

A comprehensive exam is the baseline everything else is measured against. It is longer than a check-up because it records the starting point for your whole mouth.

Full Charting

Every tooth, every existing restoration and every area of concern recorded, so change over time is visible rather than remembered.

Gum Assessment

Pocket depths around each tooth. This is the measurement that predicts tooth loss earlier than anything else we take.

Bite Evaluation

How your teeth meet, and whether wear patterns point to grinding. Often the hidden cause of cracks and jaw pain.

Imaging

X-rays reveal decay between teeth and bone levels that no visual exam can. Shown on screen and explained.

Oral Cancer Screening

Soft tissue, tongue and throat checked. Quick, painless, and the reason a routine exam occasionally saves a life.

A Written Plan

You leave knowing what needs doing, what can wait, and what happens if it waits. Not a quote you decode later.

The Oral Health Exam in Scottsdale

An oral health exam in Scottsdale is longer than a check-up because it records a baseline for every tooth, the gums, the bite and the soft tissue, so change is measured rather than remembered.

Other Dental Services We Provide in Scottsdale
