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.
