What You Can Expect

Assessing Your Teeth, Gums, and Bite

First, we will discuss the reason for your visit. Then, Dr. Katyal will conduct a thorough exam, which will include checking your bite alignment, assessing the integrity of existing dental work, checking for decay, and evaluating your temporomandibular joint health.

Did you know that gum disease can increase your chances of cardiovascular disease by 70%? Don’t worry — we will suggest therapies for prevention or treatment, as well as take x-rays to provide a complete picture of your oral health and aid in an accurate diagnosis.

Screening for Oral Cancer

Oral cancer is preventable if caught early. We will check your soft tissues for signs of oral cancer. Oral cancer claims the lives of over 9,000 Americans each year — because early detection increases survival chances, we screen for oral cancer at your new patient exam and subsequent checkups.
