Here’s what you can expect during a routine examination appointment with one of our Chicago Dentists at ABC Dental: Digital Dental X-rays – During each appointment, on of our top Chicago dentists will look at digital x-ray images of your teeth to see if there are any developing cavities, gum problems, cysts, and bone loss.  Digital x-rays help diagnose dental issues that are not even visible to the naked eye in the early stages. Gum Screening – by using a combination of clinical examination and x-ray images, one of our top Chicago Dentists will look for inflamed, swollen or bleeding gums or bone loss, that may indicate an underlying gum problem.  Detection of Tooth Decay – Tooth decay, if detected in the early stages, can save you a considerable amount of time and money that would otherwise have been spent on treatment with fillings or restorations. That is why one of our top Chicago Dentists will perform a thorough clinical and examination at each appointment so that you maintain pearly white and caries-free teeth.
