Examination
Dr. Hansford is interested in assessing your mouth based upon 4 variables
Periodontal Condition - gum pocketting, recession, mobility, inflammation, etc
Tooth Structure - history of decay process, weak teeth, abscesses, presence of decay or broken fillings
Function - tooth wear, jaw joint problems, grinding, chipping or worn teeth
Dentofacial - The cosmetic aspects of your teeth
Dr. Hansford will request additional records (models and photos of your mouth)
whenever further information is needed. This is especially relevant
whenever you're interested in improving the cosmetics of your smile or changing
your bite to correct a grinding pattern or joint problem.
Radiographs (X-Rays)
Radiographs are a necessary part to a thorough dental examination. Dr.
Hansford prescribes radiographs based upon general standards
of care guidelines
You can expect that we will regularly update your radiographs to ensure our
examinations are thorough and accurate
