Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the Full Mouth or panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.

A great smile begins with healthy teeth and gums, something that can be easily accomplished with a little help from the dental experts at First Impression Dentistry. We start by educating and teaching you the proper way to fully care for your teeth, and follow up with thorough and effective preventive dental services to ensure a lifetime of good oral health.

There is nothing worse than suffering from excruciating tooth pain. A visit to the dentist may confirm that your tooth is infected and the only way to alleviate the pain is a root canal. But don't believe the rumors: The dreaded root canal isn't dreadful at all! When either decay or injury infects the inner tooth (the pulp), only a root canal can remove tooth decay and prevent it from spreading.

Both natural teeth and teeth with restorations survive best in an oral environment that is clean and where the intake of harmful foods is controlled. Our program is designed to help prevent new cavities and preserve teeth that have been restored and manage periodontal disease. For decades, fluoride has been held in high regard by the dental community as an important mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, which thereby helps to prevent decay of tooth structures.Brushing is the most effective method for removing harmful plaque from your teeth and gums.

Infants should be seen by our office after the first six months of age, and at least by the child's first birthday. By this time, the baby's first teeth, or primary teeth, are beginning to erupt and it is a critical time to spot any problems before they become big concerns. Teething is a sign that your child's gums are sore.
