Dental Exams in Atlanta, GA

A gorgeous, sexy smile starts with regular preventive care. MINT dentistry in Atlanta, GA recommends twice-yearly oral exams that can be performed along with a cleaning. Dental exams at MINT dentistry will include an assessment of the overall health of your mouth, including oral cancer, cavities, decay, plus risk factors for gum and bone disease. Your MINT team of dental professionals will assess your need for treatment or restorations using cutting-edge technology, such as digital x-rays. Residents in Atlanta, GA are invited to make appointments at least twice a year for their whole family.

Annual dental exams should be performed on patients starting when they are 18 months old. MINT dentistry in Atlanta, GA offers superior dental care to patients of all ages to address concerns with proven techniques and advanced technologies. We try to provide a good experience for children so it's easy to get them to their appointments and they have a solid oral health foundation for the rest of their lives. Our team loves to help patients of all ages who have anxiety due to a bad experience at another dentist. We want all our patients to feel safe and comfortable during their visits to MINT dentistry.

To begin your oral exam, you will be given a pair of swanky MINT sunglasses and invited to relax in one of our luxurious treatment chairs. Your dentist then checks the overall health of your mouth while you watch a show or jam out with a pair of our Beats headphones. Next, a member of the MINT dentistry team will use digital x-rays to get a better view of your teeth and check for abnormalities. The dentist will then evaluate your neck and head, especially your jawbone and bite. Your board-certified MINT dentist will go over your results, and if any problems are found, your options for treatment will be reviewed. Your MINT team will discuss your whole health, including current medications and supplements since these may affect your dental health. Lastly, we will examine any restorations you have, like crowns or dentures, to check the fit and wear.

If no issues or abnormalities are discovered during your dental exam, you should continue a normal, healthy oral hygiene routine at home that includes brushing and flossing at least twice a day. It is also important to schedule appointments for biannual dental exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry. Typically, patients will only need an oral health examination two times every year, but we might suggest getting exams more often if you have serious oral health conditions. If our team does diagnose an issue, your options for treatment will be explained and planned. As a common example, if we find a dental cavity, you'll be asked to schedule an appointment at MINT dentistry in Atlanta, GA to get a treatment with a tooth-colored filling or crown.

The cost of dental exams is typically covered by dental insurance. Our team will speak to your provider to calculate your out-of-pocket costs if your entire exam isn't covered. If you don't have insurance, ask us about the MINT Discount Plan, which provides cost savings on many dental services at MINT dentistry in Atlanta, GA. An added bonus to visiting for your yearly dental exams is a free home whitening kit. MINT dentistry offers complimentary dental trays and whitening gel to every patient at their regularly scheduled exams and cleanings. Nothing makes us happier than helping you get a brighter, healthier smile.
