How long are dental examinations?

The average dental exam and dental hygiene session last between 45 and 60 minutes. Exams and cleanings tend to be shorter for children. The time of a visit may be affected by the patient’s age, oral health, and frequency of regular dental checkups.

What is a comprehensive dental exam on the first visit?

Your dental checkup as a new patient involves x-rays and/or panoramic radiographs to gain a good view of areas you cannot see or feel. Additionally, your dentist will inspect your teeth, gums, and mouth. It is all a part of understanding the larger picture so that you get the necessary treatment.
