Dental Examinations for Lasting Oral Health

At Ashar Dentistry, we believe that accurate diagnosis is the foundation of excellent dental care. Every patient — whether new or returning — receives a thorough dental examination supported by the latest imaging technology to ensure no problem goes undetected.

Our comprehensive approach allows us to identify dental issues early, monitor changes over time, and provide treatment options that are both proactive and precise.

Why Imaging & Exams Matter

Dental problems such as decay, bone loss, infections, or impacted teeth can often remain hidden without professional imaging. By combining standard dental X-rays, a panoramic X-ray (Pano), and CBCT 3D imaging for new patients, we gain a complete picture of your oral health. This not only helps us treat existing concerns but also establishes a baseline to measure progress in the future.

Our Diagnostic Process at Ashar Dentistry

1. Standard Dental X-Rays

We take a set of traditional bitewing and periapical X-rays to spot cavities between teeth, check for bone loss, and evaluate existing restorations.

2. Panoramic X-Ray (Pano)

A panoramic image captures your entire mouth — teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures — in a single scan. This helps us detect:

  • Impacted wisdom teeth
  • Cysts or tumors
  • Jawbone irregularities
  • Sinus and TMJ-related issues

3. CBCT 3D Imaging (for New Patients)

For new patients, we perform Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans. This advanced 3D imaging technology gives us a complete, high-resolution view of your teeth, jaw, and bone structure from every angle — ideal for:

  • Implant planning
  • Root canal evaluation
  • Orthodontic assessments
  • Complex extraction.

4. Digital iTero® Scanning

We go beyond traditional imaging by scanning each patient with our state-of-the-art iTero® intraoral scanner. This creates a precise digital model of your teeth and bite, which allows us to:

  • Show a real-time, inside look at your teeth and gums
  • Evaluate bite alignment and occlusion with accuracy
  • Monitor changes over time without messy impressions
  • Simulate “before and after” treatment outcomes

Patients love seeing instant visual feedback, making it easier to understand their current oral health and feel confident in their treatment plan.

5. Comprehensive Dental Exam

Once your images and scans are complete, our dentists perform a thorough clinical exam to assess:

  • Tooth health and function
  • Gum health and periodontal pockets
  • Jaw function and TMJ movement
  • Signs of oral cancer or other pathology

We then review all findings with you, answer questions, and create a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and long-term oral health.
