Comprehensive Oral Examinations in Port Elizabeth 

At Every Smile Dentistry in Port Elizabeth, we offer thorough and personalized oral examinations to help you maintain optimal dental health. 

Whether you’re visiting us for a routine check-up or seeking treatment for specific dental concerns, our experienced team ensures that your smile is in the best possible hands.

Importance of Oral Examinations

Regular oral examinations are a cornerstone of preventive dental care. 

They allow our dental team to monitor the health of your teeth and gums, identify potential issues early, and recommend personalized treatments to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.

Why Are Oral Examinations Important?

Early Detection of Dental Issues

Routine oral exams help catch problems like tooth decay, gum disease, or even oral cancer in their earliest stages, making them easier and less costly to treat. 

Early detection means less pain, shorter treatment times, and a better prognosis for maintaining your dental health.

Preventive Care

Through regular check-ups, we offer preventive treatments such as professional cleanings, fluoride applications, and sealants to prevent plaque build-up, decay, and other dental problems. 

We’ll also advise you on the best practices for oral hygiene at home.

Customized Treatment Planning

Based on your oral examination, our dental professionals will create a personalized treatment plan. 

Whether you need restorative work, cosmetic treatments, or just routine care, we’ll tailor our services to your specific needs and goals.

Overall Health Benefits

Oral health is closely linked to overall health. Conditions like gum disease can increase your risk for serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. 

By keeping your mouth healthy, you’re also protecting your overall well-being.

Preparation for Your Oral Examination

Here are a few simple steps to prepare for your dental check-up at Every Smile Dentistry:

  • Brush and Floss: Keep up your normal brushing and flossing routine before your appointment. This helps ensure your mouth is clean, making the examination process smoother.
  • Make Note of Concerns: Jot down any specific issues you’ve been experiencing, such as tooth sensitivity, bleeding gums, or jaw pain, so we can address them during your visit.
  • Arrive Early: Arrive a few minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete any necessary paperwork and help ensure a timely start.
  • Bring Your Dental Records: If you’re new to our clinic, bring any relevant dental history or medical records so we can have a full picture of your oral health.

Oral Examination Procedure

At Every Smile Dentistry, our oral examinations involve a series of steps to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health:

Visual Inspection

Our dentists will perform a thorough visual examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to look for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, lesions, or other abnormalities.

Periodontal Evaluation

We assess the health of your gums, checking for gum recession, pocket depth, and other indicators of gum disease. 

This helps us monitor the condition of your gums and provide preventive or restorative care as needed.

Dental X-rays

Depending on the examination findings, we may take X-rays to get a closer look at your teeth’s roots, jawbone, and the spaces between your teeth. 

X-rays help detect hidden cavities, impacted teeth, or bone loss that aren’t visible during the visual inspection.

Oral Cancer Screening

We include an oral cancer screening as part of your exam, checking your mouth and throat for any unusual lesions or abnormalities that could indicate oral cancer.

Discussion and Recommendations

After the examination, we’ll go over the results with you, answer any questions, and recommend any follow-up care or treatments that may be necessary.

Benefits of Regular Oral Examinations

Scheduling regular oral examinations at Every Smile Dentistry offers several key benefits:

  • Early Detection: Prompt treatment of dental issues such as cavities and gum disease ensures minimal discomfort and fewer complications.
  • Healthier Gums: Regular exams help prevent gingivitis and more advanced stages of gum disease.
  • Bright, Healthy Smile: Early intervention keeps your teeth strong and your smile vibrant.
  • Improved Overall Health: Good oral health reduces the risk of systemic issues like heart disease and diabetes.

Aftercare Following Your Oral Examination

After your examination, our dentists will provide you with guidance on how to maintain optimal dental health between check-ups. This may include:

  • Proper Brushing and Flossing Techniques: We’ll review your oral hygiene routine and recommend improvements if necessary.
  • Dietary Advice: Suggestions on how to reduce sugar and acidic foods that contribute to tooth decay.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Scheduling any necessary follow-up treatments or preventive services like cleanings or fluoride applications.

I visited Every Smile Dentistry for the first time today and I am pleased with the service I received. The receptions was very warm and welcoming.I was attended to by Dr A Somtunzi who was also so friendly and welcoming. I had my teeth cleaned and a filling done. She gave a detailed explanation of what needed to be done.She was so gentle and I felt no discomfort at all.I’m happy with the work she did.Outside the excellent service, I think the thoughtful gesture of having ladies essentials in the rest room for everyone to use won my heart

Great experience, got a detailed consultation on braces from Dr Govender and Thembi. I like the fact that the Dr keeps explaining everything that she is about to do in the session. My daughter got a good lesson on how to brush and floss her teeth.

The staff is sooo friendly. I have a big fear when it comes to dentists, but my dentist calmed me down so well and talked me through what she was going to do and what she was doing while busy. I had an infected tooth that she extracted. I felt no pain and it was over within seconds. I will definitely go back.

The online booking system is probably useful in other branches but I’ve been disappointed twice in a space of less than a monthI initially made an online booking since they never seem to pick up their lines or get back to you ,I pulled strings to ensure I was there timeously and I was informed that “oh there must’ve been a miscommunication “ that meaning there was no communication about my appointment being canceledAnd the receptionist let me know minutes to my appointment I can’t be attended to.2nd appointment I made days in advance and I again pulled strings to honour my appointment today and as usual they sent the email reminder to remind me of my appointment at 9 am today …I leave work at 8 to make 8h30 for 9.Doors weren’t open by 9 and I called both their numbers to no reply and kept retrying and around to 10 …I make a call one more time just before I left cause I wasn’t sure what was happening .The receptionist answers and says “it’s a miscommunication issue.Our dr has an emergency and no one is coming in today “…no one cared to call and inform me of this as the expected 1st client of the day!A complete waste of my time twice !! I’ll escalate this

What an amazing place, it's aesthetically pleasing, very clean and has a very welcoming receptionist. The staff are friendly and easy to communicate with. Initially, I was going to take my tooth out but was advised to go for a filling instead. Everything was explained and this showed me that the staff actually cares about their customers, this is great especially for people who are going to the dentist for the first time. I now feel good and more confident thanks to a great service from Every Smile Dentistry 🙏

Frequently Asked Questions Answered

1. What is a comprehensive oral examination?

A comprehensive oral examination is a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and mouth to detect any signs of dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer. It also includes preventive care advice and treatment recommendations.

2. How often should I have an oral examination?

It’s recommended to have an oral examination every six months. However, if you have certain conditions like gum disease or other dental concerns, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits.

3. What happens during an oral examination?

During an oral exam, our dentist will perform a visual inspection of your teeth and gums, evaluate the health of your gums, and may take dental X-rays. The exam may also include an oral cancer screening and a discussion of any concerns you have.

4. Why are dental X-rays taken during an oral examination?

Dental X-rays allow the dentist to see areas that aren’t visible during the visual exam, such as the roots of your teeth and the spaces between them. X-rays help detect hidden cavities, impacted teeth, or bone loss.
