Comprehensive dental examinations to assess your oral health and catch problems early.
A comprehensive oral exam is the cornerstone of preventive dental care at Grandville Dental Health Center. During your exam, Dr. Bishop or Dr. Vander Baan will thoroughly evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and oral tissues — giving you a complete picture of your oral health.
Regular oral exams allow us to detect cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues at their earliest and most treatable stages. We recommend a comprehensive exam for all new patients and periodic exams at every cleaning appointment.
