Examination
Diagnosis
A diagnosis can be made of a specific problem, or the overall health of your mouth. In order to make a diagnosis, we require various information. This can be gained from any of the following:
- Examination
Undertaken for each patient.
- x-rays
Usually required in some form to establish a clear picture of your current dental health, and any areas we cannot see (such as in between the teeth or beneath the gums).
- Models
Or ‘moulds’ can be used to study the bite, alignment and appearance of the teeth. Often required in orthodontic, bridge and implant cases.
