Your oral health isn't just about your smile—it's a reflection of your overall well-being. At Clinique La Rive, we take a holistic approach, going beyond teeth to focus on prevention, early detection and personalized care. Our goal is to protect your oral health while supporting your overall health, for a bright smile and better health.
A comprehensive checkup allows us to identify problems such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer at an early stage, when treatments are most effective.
Oral health is closely linked to overall health, with conditions like gum disease associated with diabetes, heart disease, and more.
Regular checkups prevent small problems from turning into major complications, saving you time, discomfort, and long-term costs.
Our comprehensive oral health check is designed to give you a detailed overview of your oral health, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. Here's how it works:
We discuss your oral history, habits, and concerns, followed by a visual exam to identify potential problems.
We start with a thorough clinical examination of the mouth. If necessary, we supplement the analysis with x-rays, bacterial tests, or saliva analysis to detect possible hidden problems and assess your oral microbiome.
After the exam, we share our observations and create a personalized care plan that focuses on preventing and improving your oral hygiene.
We inspect each tooth for cavities, cracks, or wear and tear, ensuring that your teeth are strong and healthy.
We assess your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, or periodontal disease that may affect your oral and systemic health.
A visual examination of your cheeks, tongue and palate helps us identify possible abnormalities, such as wounds or lesions.
We analyze the alignment of your bite and the function of your jaw to treat any tension or discomfort, including TMJ problems.
We check for signs of mouth breathing or airway obstructions that may affect your oral and general health.
We review your daily routine and give you personalized advice to optimize your brushing and flossing techniques.
If you wish, we discuss the possibilities of improving your smile through aesthetic treatments such as whitening or veneers.
