New patients – Dental Exam

The dental exam at Crystal dental is critical to your ongoing oral health—and only your dentist can perform this. The dental exam can catch problems early—before you see or feel them—when they are much easier and less expensive to treat. There are two kinds of dental exam the first a Recall Exam done during your hygiene visits and second a Comprehensive Dental Exam for new patients and for patients with many ongoing dental problems.

We are Accepting New Patients!

Perhaps you thought the dentist was checking the work the hygienist had just completed. Not so. The dentist actually looks in your mouth for things that can affect your oral—and your overall—health.
