Most patients benefit from a dental exam every six months to maintain good oral health. In some cases, such as ongoing gum issues or a history of frequent cavities, Dr. Anna Gazu may recommend more frequent visits to closely monitor your condition and prevent complications.
During a dental exam at Marvel Dental Practice, Dr. Gazu carefully evaluates your teeth and gums, checks for signs of decay or disease, and performs an oral cancer screening. If needed, X-rays are reviewed, and a professional cleaning is completed to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Dental exams are generally comfortable and noninvasive. You may notice mild pressure during certain parts of the evaluation, but pain is uncommon. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let our team know so we can ensure your comfort throughout the visit.
Many dental concerns develop quietly without obvious symptoms. Conditions like cavities, gum disease, and oral health changes can progress unnoticed. Regular dental exams allow Dr. Gazu to identify and address issues early, often before they become painful or require more involved treatment.
Dental X-rays are taken as needed based on your oral health and risk factors. These images help detect issues that are not visible during a visual exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone changes, or problems below the gum line.
A typical dental exam and cleaning usually takes between 45 minutes and one hour. If additional services, imaging, or treatment planning are needed, your appointment may take slightly longer.
