Dental examinations
At Boland Dental, our dental examination services are designed to assess and monitor your oral health comprehensively. Our experienced team conducts thorough evaluations during a dental examination to identify potential dental issues, including cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer.
We use state-of-the-art radiograph technology and diagnostic tools to ensure accurate and precise assessments. Additionally, our dental examinations involve checking the condition of existing dental restorations, such as fillings and crowns, to ensure their longevity and effectiveness. With a focus on preventive care, we aim to help you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile for years.
