Comprehensive Oral Exam / New Patient Exam
Every smile tells a story, and your first exam helps us understand yours. When you visit our Edmonton clinic for a comprehensive oral exam, we take the time to look closely — not just at your teeth, but at how everything connects: your gums, bite, and overall oral health. It’s a calm, thorough appointment meant to help you feel informed, not rushed.
Dr. Zarsky and Dr. Burnett believe every patient deserves a clear picture of their dental health. So instead of quick checkboxes, you’ll get real conversation. We’ll talk about what’s been working, what might need attention, and how to keep your mouth healthy in the long run.
What to Expect
Your first visit starts with simple introductions and a short review of your medical and dental history. We’ll ask about any changes, concerns, or goals you have — whether it’s sensitivity, past treatment, or how your bite feels when you chew. From there:
We perform a complete visual exam of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues.
Digital X-rays may be taken to see below the surface.
We check your bite alignment and jaw movement.
We look for early signs of decay, wear, or gum inflammation.
Oral cancer screening is included as part of every comprehensive visit.
Everything is explained as we go, in plain, easy language. You’ll know what we’re seeing and why it matters — with time to ask questions before deciding on any treatment.
Why It Matters
Comprehensive exams do more than find problems; they help prevent them. They give your dentist a baseline for tracking changes, catching small issues early, and guiding care that fits your lifestyle. For new patients, it’s also a chance to get comfortable with our clinic — to see how we work, meet our team, and know you’re in good hands.
We recommend a full exam every year, or sooner if something feels off. The goal is simple: keep you smiling and confident, one visit at a time.
