Comprehensive oral exams and low-radiation digital X-rays — the foundation of a healthy mouth and an early warning system for problems before they hurt.
Regular oral exams and dental X-rays are the cornerstone of preventive care at Calgary South Dental. Our dentists use a careful, head-to-toe approach — checking teeth, gums, bite, jaw, and soft tissues — and pair it with safe, low-dose digital imaging to catch decay, bone loss, infection, and other concerns long before they become painful or expensive to treat.
What sets oral exams & dental x-rays at Calgary South Dental apart.
Digital X-rays let us see between teeth, beneath fillings, and below the gumline — the places small problems hide before they become big ones.
Modern digital sensors use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film while delivering sharper, instant images.
How often you need X-rays depends on your age, risk profile, and dental history — we never image more than necessary.

A full exam takes about 30–45 minutes. We review your medical history, take any needed images, screen for oral cancer, evaluate your bite and TMJ, and check existing dental work. Your dentist will walk you through the findings and build a personalized plan — no rush, no jargon, no surprise treatment.
