Dental Exams & X-Rays

At Great Boca Smiles we strongly recommend patients of all ages in Boca Raton, FL complete an in-depth dental exam at least twice a year or once every six months.

During your dental examination, one of our skilled doctors will carefully examine the surfaces of each of your teeth, soft tissue, jaw, bite, and other important areas of your mouth. Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during your regular dental exam. Our Boca Raton, FL dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without dental x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.

Comprehensive Dental Exams & X-Rays include:

  • Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
  • Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
  • Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
  • Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
  • Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.

During a typical dental exam, the dentist or a hygienist will clean your teeth and check for any issues with your teeth, like cavities, cracks, or chips. They will also inspect your gums for any signs of gum disease. Your dental exam will include assessing your risk of acquiring other oral health problems and checking your face, neck, and mouth for any abnormalities. An oral cancer screening may also be completed in some cases. A dental exam often includes dental X-rays or other diagnostic procedures to assess the non-visible positions of your teeth and jaw.

A dental exam appointment with the dentist usually takes one hour. Depending on the findings of that exam, a follow-up appointment or treatment plan may be discussed. A teeth cleaning will typically be scheduled as well if it wasn’t a part of your basic dental exam.

If you see your dentist consistently, have excellent oral hygiene and aren’t experiencing any dental problems you might need X-rays once a year to examine for early signs of cavities. Kids may require X-rays more frequently since their teeth and mouth are changing frequently.

Dr Markowitz has been my dentist for over 14 years. He is professional, knowledgeable and very exact and detailed. His work is impeccable. His office is well managed. Organized, extremely clean and well maintained with the latest equipment. From the office manager Alex who is calm and precise to the Hygenist Holly whom is one of the best Hygenists I have ever been too. Now with the addition of Dr Cela you totally feel you are in good hands.

Dr. Markowitz and his staff genuinely care about their patients, their teeth and their experience in the dentist’s chair. I came in for a complex procedure that I was a little nervous about. Dr. Markowitz made it seem simple and easy. He was very focused, precise and careful to make sure I was comfortable and that the procedure was a success. His staff is friendly and caring and all have a nice rapport which makes the office environment a happy, positive one. I feel completely confident in Dr. Markowitz and know that the dental work I receive is of the best quality. I highly recommend Great Boca Smiles and Dr. Markowitz.
