Why
Choose Us
The Heart Of Our Practice
is an experienced, dedicated, and
hard-working team that genuinely cares
- Exceptional Patient Experience
- 3 Convenient Locations
- Over 50 years in the Dayton Community
What We Assess During an Exam
- Tooth surfaces for decay, cracks, and wear and infections
- Gum health, pocket depths, bleeding, and recession
- Bite alignment and TMJ function
- Soft‑tissue screening for oral cancer on tongue, cheeks, and palate
- We can also evaluate esthetics and tooth alignment
This systematic approach ensures no detail is overlooked and allows us to connect seemingly small findings to broader health concerns.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools We Use
Digital radiographs provide crystal‑clear images with a fraction of the radiation of traditional film. Intra‑oral cameras magnify defects and display them on a chairside monitor so you can participate in the diagnosis.
When needed, 3‑D CBCT imaging evaluates nerve pathways, sinus anatomy, and bone density for implant planning or complex root canals. We don’t offer CBCT images but we use 3D digital scans (AKA iTero® scans) to show patients exactly how their teeth and gums look and discuss treatment options.

From Findings to a Personalized Plan
After reviewing data, we prioritize concerns based on urgency, cost, and your personal goals. A small cavity may be monitored (A small issue might be safely monitored), while a cracked tooth under heavy bite force might warrant prompt crown placement.
Clear communication keeps you informed and in control. We outline options, answer questions openly, and work together to stage care according to your schedule and budget.
How Often Should You Have an Exam?
Most adults benefit from a comprehensive exam every six months in conjunction with a prophylaxis. Patients with active periodontal therapy, high decay rates, or medical conditions affecting oral health may require more frequent checks.
Consistent monitoring allows us to catch changes at their earliest, most manageable stage—saving tooth structure and expense down the road.
