Every lasting solution begins with a careful evaluation.
Most patients come to
the dentist when
something feels wrong
Here, the goal is to understand why. A comprehensive evaluation looks deeper – connecting oral health to the systems that influence it, from airway and inflammation to daily habits and nutrition.
This first step is not rushed. It is a structured, science-based process designed to uncover the root causes behind symptoms and create a plan that lasts.
“True clarity comes from slowing down long enough to see the whole picture.”
What a Comprehensive Evaluation Includes
A deeper look at the factors shaping your health
Every new patient evaluation is a full discovery process that connects dentistry with whole-body wellness. Included in every evaluation:
Dental and Medical History Review
Understanding your background, medications, and past treatment patterns to inform smarter decisions.
Salivary Testing
Measuring bacterial and inflammatory markers to identify early risks for decay, gum disease, and systemic inflammation.
Visual Reflux and Erosion Screening
Detecting subtle signs of acid wear and reflux that often appear first in the mouth.
Bite and Jaw Assessment
Evaluating function, alignment, and tension that influence chewing, breathing, and comfort.
Airway and Sleep Review
Observing patterns that may signal airway restriction or sleep-related challenges.
Personalized Diagnostic Protocols
Using data, scans, and conversation to create a custom diagnostic plan for each patient.
Why It
Matters
A true evaluation is not about checking boxes — it’s about understanding patterns. By connecting oral and systemic health, we can:
Identify risks before they develop into disease.
Personalize care to your biology and lifestyle.
Prevent unnecessary procedures through early insight.
Create a foundation for care that actually lasts.
What Patients Experience
Your first visit is designed to feel calm, unhurried, and personal. You will have time to talk through concerns, learn what your results mean, and leave with clarity about next steps.
Each evaluation ends with a discussion — not a list of treatments. Together, we review findings, outline your options, and create a plan that makes sense for your goals and overall health.
