Dr. Guy Mangia: Comprehensive Dental Examination is a service we provide for all new patients and for our adult patients of record every 2 years. Similar to a complete medical examination with your physician, this examination  process is considered the current Standard of Care with the American Dental Association.  During this examination we are able to document and compare the findings that are significant to your oral health.  Being able to compare these findings at a two year interval allows us to detect changes in your dental health that may be subtle to the human eye, resulting in early detection and correction of oral problems.  Of course, we will continue to provide updated examinations at the time of your  periodontal maintenance visit in between your comprehensive dental evaluations.

The Comprehensive Examination and Evaluation consists of six areas of your oral health:

• Head and neck oral cancer examination
• Temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) evaluation
• Evaluation of your occlusion( how your upper and lower teeth relate to each other in function)
• Periodontal examination and evaluation of the supporting bone and tissue around the teeth
• Evaluation of current dental restorations, detection of new decay and fractured teeth
• Esthetic evaluation of your smile

We use several diagnostic aids in the comprehensive examination to assist us in our findings and treatment decisions.

• Full  mouth radiographs (as needed)
• A series of digital photographs of your smile and teeth
• Study model casts of your teeth (as needed)
• A current medical history and blood pressure reading
• ViziLite Plus oral cancer screening system

We will take time to listen to your concerns, considerations and desires when it comes to the correction of your oral health problems.  Treatment plan options will be developed and discussed as a result of our clinical findings, our professional judgment and your wants and needs.

At the end of your examination, our treatment coordinator will provide you with your examination results, including a copy of your treatment plan, your periodontal charting, your dental photographs and any support brochures we feel would help you better understand our discussion.  We invite you to visit our web site for further information concerning the dental procedures as well as information about our practice.

We feel open communication is vital to the patient/professional relationship.  If you ever have had any questions or concerns about your examination visit, the treatment discussed, the fees presented your estimated insurance benefits or our practice procedures, please call and ask for assistance.  Our mission is to assist you in obtaining optimum oral health.  We know that this mission is dependent on a team of people (including you the patient) working toward a common goal.  We look forward to continuing to assist you in  your mission toward optimum oral health.
