WHY GET A COMPREHENSIVE ORAL EXAM
Calculus can buildup on a patient’s teeth over time. This is something that can’t be removed by normal brushing, flossing, or rinsing. It can only be removed by dental tools. If left untreated, it can cause other various oral health issues down the road. Further, if you’re not a professional, it’s likely you are unaware of the signs and symptoms that may need further attention or treatment. A dental professional not only can ensure you’re on the right track with your oral health, but they can tell when some changes are needed.
COST OF COMPREHENSIVE ORAL EXAMS
Oral exams are relatively inexpensive, and most insurance companies cover them 100% since it’s considered preventative and diagnostic care. They normally take very little time and are only suggested twice a year. Comprehensive oral exams are worth the effort since they normally can catch oral health issues before they’re too severe. This ultimately saves a patient time, money, and the hassle of another dentist appointment or two. Not to mention, it can ultimately preserve your natural teeth so that no major procedures have to be tackled down the road.

This place is awesome. The atmosphere is dope. The staff is very nice and friendly. The place is so inviting. The exams and cleanings are VERY THOROUGH. They don’t just clean and send you own your way. They ask questions and get to know YOU. This was the best dental visit I’ve ever had.
What a great dental office. I was just in there today and the people are amazing! My oldest daughter and I were scheduled to get our teeth cleaned at the same time, but I had to bring my year and a half old daughter with us, it was daddy’s day while mommy had to run errands. They helped out so much so I could get my teeth cleaned until my oldest was done and she could watch her. Great people!
Dr. Arthur’s one of the best dentists I have amazing dental visits and the quality of work he does is outstanding. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dentist. Thank you so much for all the great work.
