Dental Exams
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by Dr. Adlow and our hygienist Mary which will include the following:
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.
After the consultation and thorough examination, an ideal treatment plan is created for each patient, depending upon the patient's circumstances and objectives.

Digital X-Ray
Digital radiography is a form of X-Ray imaging, where digital X-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Digital X-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film X-rays while providing superior diagnostic capability. There is no longer a need to develop film as the images display directly on the computer screen, improving the patient’s ability to understand and follow treatment. The need for film, developer and other chemical waste is eliminated in order to better the environment.
