COMPREHENSIVE ORAL HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT

At Tonka Smiles, your comprehensive oral health care starts at your first visit. The initial comprehensive exam is a more detailed exam that allows the doctors the time needed to thoroughly examine your oral health. During your initial exam, our team of dental health professionals will measure Gum pocket depths, take a set of intraoral photos, and any necessary x-ray’s recommended based on your dental history, dental records, and any dental concerns you may have. Our dental professionals will talk with you about all of the findings of your initial exam. We believe that the more educated you are, the better decision you can make for your oral health.

COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT PLAN

Once we have gathered all of this information the Doctor will sit with you and evaluate your gum health, the stability of existing restorations in your mouth along with screening for oral cancer, looking at the function of your jaw, and check for any head and neck abnormalities. The doctor then puts together a comprehensive treatment plan that best fits your needs.

COMFORT

We respect and understand that many patients experience dental anxiety. At our office, we do everything we can to make sure that your experience is as enjoyable as possible. By communicating clearly what you can expect during your treatment, we are often able to alleviate dental fear. We encourage you to bring headphones and music to listen to during your treatment and ask us about dental sedation options.
