What Is a Dental Diagnosis?

Dental diagnosis is the process of evaluating your oral health to identify conditions affecting your teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures. It allows us to understand not only current problems, but also risks that may develop in the future.

A proper diagnosis ensures that treatment is accurate, efficient, and tailored to your needs.

What to Expect During a Dental Diagnosis

Your diagnostic visit is comprehensive and focused on prevention as well as treatment.

It may include:

  • Visual examination of teeth and gums
  • Digital X-rays or imaging when needed
  • Gum health and bone level evaluation
  • Bite and jaw alignment assessment
  • Oral cancer screening

Each step helps build a complete picture of your oral health.
