Exams & preventive care

A regular checkup keeps small problems small — and you leave with a clear explanation of what we see.

A relaxed patient listening during a consultation

01Your visit

Your exam, minute by minute

  1. 0–10 min

    Your questions first

    And a look at your health history.

  2. 10–25 min

    X-rays and photos

    Only those you need — we tell you which and why.

  3. 25–45 min

    A careful check

    Teeth, gums (six points per tooth), bite and an oral cancer screening.

  4. 45–60 min

    Your summary

    What we found, what we suggest and what can wait.

03Is it for you

Regular checkups, or a first visit in years

Exams are for adults and families who want to keep their teeth and gums healthy — whether you come in regularly or it has been a while since your last visit.

If you’re new to our practice, choose New patient exam when you send a request.

04Before you come

What to bring

  • A photo ID
  • Your dental insurance card, if you have one
  • A list of any medicines you take
  • The questions you’d like to ask

05Cost and insurance

What it costs

$70–$200 exam with X-rays

Typical range in the US without insurance (2026 consumer cost guides). Your own estimate comes after the exam, in writing, before anything is done.

The cost depends on the X-rays you need — a full set at a first visit, fewer at later checkups — and on whether a cleaning is done the same day.

Dental insurance
Most dental plans cover routine exams, cleanings and X-rays at or near 100% — we check yours before your visit.
Monthly payments
Third-party financing such as CareCredit lets you spread the cost, if you’d like.
No insurance?
Ask about our membership plan: checkups, cleanings and X-rays for a yearly fee, plus a discount on treatment.

How cost and insurance work

06How we work

Our clinical standards

The details that make a difference to how this treatment is done — and why we do them.

  • Gum measurements once a year

    We measure the space between each tooth and gum at six points per tooth (a full periodontal chart) — the only reliable way to catch gum disease early.

  • An oral cancer screening at every exam

    A quick look and gentle feel of your tongue, cheeks, throat and neck. It takes a minute and costs nothing extra.

  • X-rays chosen for you, not by calendar

    We follow ADA and FDA selection criteria: X-rays only when they help answer a question about your teeth.

  • Your cavity risk, explained

    We look at your history, diet, saliva and home care, and set your checkup interval from that — not a fixed six months for everyone.

08Questions

Questions patients ask

All questions

Most people come every six months, but your dentist will suggest a schedule that fits your teeth and gums and explain why.

Yes — choose Cleaning and exam when you send your request.

Plan for about an hour.

No. We take X-rays only when they help answer a question about your teeth, and we tell you which ones and why before taking them.
