Periodontal examination
During the consultation appointment, the following steps will be completed:
- • Complete periodontal examination - this includes measuring the pocket depth
- • Evaluation of the risk factors
- • Prescribe the relevant radiographs
- • Establish a treatment plan and cost estimate
A precise diagnosis is necessary in order to elaborate a treatment plan with predictable and long term results. If required, the radiographs necessary for a complete evaluation will be recommended and used to complement those taken by your dentist.
After the exam, a detailed written report and a copy of the radiographs will be sent to your dentist.
