What You Can Expect During Your Dental Exam at The Dental Center of South Bend

From the first moment you step into our office, you will be treated with care and respect. We will work with you to address any issues you may be experiencing and to perform a thorough and detailed examination of your teeth, gums and mouth.

During your exam, we will typically perform a visual examination of your teeth to spot any areas of tooth decay. If we see any cavities or damage to your teeth, we may also take X-rays to determine the extent of the decay and to provide a benchmark for future examinations. This will allow us to create a customized treatment plan for restoring your teeth. Our goal is to ensure that you have the brightest smile and the healthiest mouth possible for many years to come.

We include screenings for periodontal disease and oral cancer. This will allow you to start treatment for these issues as quickly as possible and to ensure the best possible outcomes. If you do need periodontal treatment, our team will help you create a treatment plan that works with your schedule and your budget. We are committed to the highest standards of excellence in managing your dental care and providing you with the right solutions for all your current and future needs.

The dentists at The Dental Center of South Bend will also perform a complete teeth cleaning to eliminate all traces of plaque, trapped food and calculus from your teeth. Dental calculus is also known as tartar and occurs when plaque remains on your teeth over an extended period of time. This can lead to chemical changes that transform plaque into a hard substance that adheres to your teeth. By scheduling regular cleanings, you can avoid these issues and can ensure the best outcomes for all your dental health care issues.

• Inflammation or infection of the gums or at the roots of the teeth

At The Dental Center of South Bend, we will work closely with you to understand your situation, and help you find a practical approach to your care that works for your budget and your lifestyle. A brighter, healthier smile will help you feel more confident in your dealings with others and will ensure that you can avoid the embarrassment and stress of bad breath when meeting new people or interacting with your colleagues and friends.
