Complete Oral Exam

Dr. Brian Y. Lee will perform a complete and thorough oral exam during your initial visit. During subsequent check-up visits, Dr. Lee will also include the following:

Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.

Oral cancer screening: We examine your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Gum disease evaluation: We check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.

Examination of tooth decay: We use special dental instruments to check all tooth surfaces for decay.

Examination of existing restorations: We examine the condition of existing fillings, crowns, etc.
