Exams & X-rays
What is it?
Dental exams and X-rays are essential diagnostic services that help your dentist assess your overall oral health. During a dental exam, your dentist checks your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw for signs of decay, infection, gum disease, or other issues. Dental X-rays allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface — including tooth roots, bone structure, and areas that are not visible during a regular exam.
At our dental clinic in Calgary, exams and X-rays are the foundation of preventive and personalized dental care.
Who it’s for:
-
Dental exams and X-rays are recommended for:
• Adults and children of all ages
• New patients visiting a dentist in Calgary for the first time
• Patients experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling
• Anyone due for a routine dental check-up
• Patients with existing dental work (crowns, fillings, implants)
• Individuals monitoring gum health or jaw issues -
Regular exams help detect problems early — before they become more complex or costly.
