Dental Examination and Diagnostics
The right treatment begins with a thorough examination.
During the assessment, we review the current condition of your teeth, gums, temporomandibular joint and oral cavity, listen to your concerns and individual needs, and if needed, complement the examination with imaging diagnostics. We also regularly perform oral cancer screening. At Dr. Pados Dental Clinic, the goal of diagnostics is not to guess based on symptoms, but to get an accurate picture of the current condition and build a personalized treatment plan on that basis.
A clearer picture of your current condition
Alongside the personal examination, intraoral X-ray, digital panoramic imaging or CT scanning can help achieve an accurate diagnosis and plan the right treatment when needed.
“The foundation of a good treatment plan is an accurate diagnosis. First, we form a comprehensive picture of the current condition, and on that basis we determine the next steps.”
Why is an assessment important?
Different causes can lie behind dental complaints, and the same symptom does not necessarily mean the same problem for everyone.
A thorough examination helps assess the current condition of the teeth, gums, bite and oral cavity, and determine whether further diagnostics or treatment are needed.
Our solution
At Dr. Pados Dental Clinic, every treatment process begins with a personal assessment. We discuss your concerns and treatment goals, then examine the current condition of your teeth and oral cavity.
If needed for an accurate diagnosis, we complement the assessment with imaging: dental digital X-ray, panoramic imaging, CT scanning and analysis. Based on the results, we discuss the treatment options that may be right for you and the expected costs in a clear and understandable way.
What do we examine during the assessment?
The goal of the assessment is to get a comprehensive picture of your current dental situation, and on that basis to determine the necessary next steps.
- The current condition of the teeth, oral cavity and temporomandibular joint
