Initial Examination

Your initial examination is a full one-hour appointment with Dr. Chapman, and includes : a complete health-history review, oral cancer screening, evaluation of all teeth and existing restorations, and classification of your bite. It also includes a TMJ examination and full-color intraoral photographs for your electronic record. With your permission, we will also take a full-mouth series of xrays, including anterior (front) films, posterior (back) films, and bitewing films to allow for a proper comprehensive diagnosis. We use the most modern digital technology, which is less than 10% of the radiation exposure to you, with no toxic fixer or developer solutions needed anymore.

These are specific to a new-patient exam and are completely different from xays taken annually in a previous dental office.

There is so much that can be done today - from powerful, professional whitening treatments to amazingly realistic porcelain veneers, to state-of-the-art dental implants, and many treatments for people with gum disease.

Implant Dentistry

If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions like natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that deteriorates after even one tooth is lost.

Emergency Dental Treatment

If you have a life-threatening or severe injury, call 911 or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room. After that, we can treat a variety of traumatic dental injuries, including teeth that have been chipped, moved, or knocked out. Please call our office for assistance.

Cavity Risk Testing

Are you the type of patient who has a new cavity every time you see a dentist, even though you brush and floss every day? Do you know someone who doesn’t brush and floss regularly, but never seems to get cavities? Why is that? Through science, we now know that cavities are caused by very specific bacterial strains. If you don’t have those bacteria in your mouth, you won’t develop cavities. If you do have those bacteria, you can get cavities (also called caries) depending on how metabolically active they are.

By doing a simple swab test and using a special light meter with breakthrough technology, we can test the activity level of those bacteria and determine whether you are at risk for future cavities. This process used to take more than a week when saliva samples had to be sent to a laboratory, but technological improvements now allow us to provide results in just one minute in our office.

If you are at risk, we can help you implement specific oral rinses that change the pH of your mouth. An acidic pH promotes cavities because that environment allows cavity-causing bacteria to thrive. Shifting the pH to a basic or alkaline level allows only healthy bacteria to survive, decreasing or eliminating cavities.

For more information, call our office for your caries screening test.
