A good dental exam is the cheapest insurance your smile can have. Cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer rarely announce themselves early — by the time something hurts, it's usually been developing for months.
At your exam, Dr. Gupta checks every tooth, your gums, your bite, and your existing dental work, plus digital X-rays when they're actually needed — not just because they're on a schedule.
Decay between teeth and under old fillings, early gum inflammation, cracked or worn teeth, signs of grinding, and changes in the soft tissues of your mouth. Every exam includes an oral cancer screening — it takes minutes and it matters.
A straight answer. If everything looks good, we'll tell you. If something needs attention, we'll show you what we see, explain your options, and give you honest advice about what's urgent and what can wait. You'll never be talked into treatment you don't need.
A comprehensive exam with a cleaning typically takes about an hour. New patient visits can run a bit longer because we're building your full picture for the first time.
No. We take X-rays based on your risk and history, not a blanket rule. We use digital X-rays, which use a fraction of the radiation of traditional film.
