Introductory Oral Exam
Your initial oral examination includes a visual evaluation, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and concludes with treatment recommendations. If necessary, we will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
Dr. Okada's team works closely with parents and their children to make oral health and starting good habits as easy and non-intimidating as possible. Through easy-to-understand education, a preventative approach to oral health, and a friendly mannered attitude toward families visiting for their first time - our office happily welcomes children and their parents to visit us.

Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal.

Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue. Read More...
