Dental Examination

At Olympia Advanced Dentistry, your initial oral exam includes a careful and complete review of the health and integrity of not only your teeth, but also the soft tissue surrounding your teeth, as well as the bony and temporal mandibular joint structures of the jaw.

Digital X-rays are an important component of your complete exam and diagnosis. We utilize two different intraoral digital X-ray systems, giving us flexibility and efficiency in your imaging options. Our 3D Cone Beam CT scanning technology provides state-of-the-art, comprehensive imaging of all dentally related structures. All digital X-ray imaging systems used at Olympia Advanced Dentistry provide outstanding patient protection by using significantly less radiation than traditional film-based dental X-rays.

The condition of your oral tissues and the structure of your jaw can indicate systemic health concerns beyond the oral cavity, which we would refer to your personal physician. The “baseline” information from your initial exam becomes part of your permanent record and serves as valuable information for future routine examinations. Our intraoral camera system allows us to share information about your oral health with you in a way that is easy to see and understand.
