X-Rays and Dental Cleanings
During your first appointment, we’ll take either full-mouth x-rays or 4 bite-wings, depending on your situation and insurance coverage. These x-rays help Dr. Chen detect issues like cavities between teeth (interproximal decay), root infections (periapical lesions), and jaw bone loss—problems often invisible to the naked eye. Your dental cleaning (prophylaxis) will be performed by either Dr. Chen or one of our skilled hygienists, provided your gums are healthy.
Oral Exam and Treatment Planning
Once x-rays are complete and your teeth polished, Dr. Chen will conduct a thorough examination, addressing any concerns or smile goals you have. If needed, he’ll also discuss gum disease (periodontal disease), which affects up to 85% of U.S. adults. Dr. Chen will recommend treatment options, such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) and improved home care. To clarify unfamiliar procedures, we’ll show you helpful video clips for better understanding.
Your Comfort Comes First
Dr. Chen and our team prioritize your comfort, offering modern amenities to make your visit enjoyable. You can listen to your favorite music or watch TV during your appointment—whatever you'd like to relax and have a more pleasant experience!
