• Teeth and the way you bite
• Original restorations - Filling, crowns, veneers etc.
• The health of your gums and surrounding bone around each tooth
• Your tongue, throat, cheeks & lips for signs of oral cancer
• Jaw joint evaluation

Dental X-rays will also be taken of your teeth to check for -

• Decay inside the tooth or between the teeth.
• Abscess or cysts on the roots of your teeth.
• Root positions
• Bone loss

Once the examination is complete the dentist will discuss the findings with you. We will then create a treatment plan with alternative options for you, including all the benefits and risks of each procedure and the costings. This will allow you to decide what is best for your long term dental health.
