Comprehensive Exam
Most new patients begin with a comprehensive exam. This visit allows us to get to know you and fully evaluate your oral health. Using your new patient forms, we’ll review your medical and dental history and discuss any concerns you may have.Your exam will include digital x-rays, intraoral photos, an oral cancer screening, and measurements to check gum health. Dr. Pruett and our hygienists will review everything with you, explain any findings, and listen to your goals. Together, we’ll create and prioritize a personalized treatment plan.If a routine cleaning is appropriate, it may be completed during this visit. If deeper cleaning is needed, we’ll schedule that for a separate appointment. Before you leave, you’ll receive a clear treatment plan with costs and insurance estimates, and we can review our in-house savings plans if you’re interested.Because Dr. Pruett’s exams are very thorough, please plan for about 75–90 minutes.
