Dental Diagnostics
It is not often that one thinks of the sort of diagnostic tools that a dental practice uses when choosing a family dentist, but we at Stratford Dental think it’s an important consideration. Diagnosis and early detection is the foundation for proper care. Without the proper diagnostic tools, such problems as “cracks in the foundation” go undetected, and hinder the doctor’s ability to effectively provide the optimum oral health care.
A Complete Dental Examination
Dr. Evans will give you a complete dental examination to identify all active factors that are capable of causing and/or adding to the deterioration of your oral health or function. After a close look at your current dental routines, health history, soft tissue examination, periodontal examination, and x-rays, we will develop a total treatment plan aimed at optimum maintainability of your teeth and the supporting bone structures. Our ultimate goal is the optimum oral health possible for you and your loved ones.
Our practice uses a variety of detection methods to detect all oral related diseases. From visual inspections to the latest technologies like the Identifi oral cancer detection system…cavities, gum disease and oral cancer can be detected and treated early.
We also use digital x-rays instead of the conventional dental x-rays. Digital x-rays are computer generated images. They offer more precision when it comes to diagnosis as we can view the images on a computer monitor, instead of holding 35mm film up to the light. These images also require much less radiation than with conventional dental x-rays. This means less radiation exposure and a safer experience for our patients.
