WHAT IS A DENTAL EXAMINATION?

A dental examination is a routine assessment of your oral health carried out by one of our dentists. It allows us to check the condition of your teeth, gums, bite and jaw, and to spot any early signs of problems before they become painful or costly to treat.

At Highfield Dental Clinic, we use modern diagnostic technology, including digital X-rays and OPG panoramic imaging where needed, to build a full and accurate picture of your dental health.
