Dental Exam & Digital X-Rays in Valencia

Serving Patients from the Santa Clarita Valley Area

Routine dental exams are important to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Additionally, they can help to avoid the financial costs associated with large treatment plans later on. The Academy of General Dentistry recommends twice yearly checkups for people of all ages. At this frequency, most problems can be caught while they remain in an early stage.

How It’s Done

The dentist first examines your mouth visually, using dental equipment such as mouth mirrors, dental picks, and high intensity lights. They will look for cracked and decayed teeth, as well as review other important items such as:

How It’s Done
The dentist first examines your mouth visually, using dental equipment such as mouth mirrors, dental picks, and high intensity lights. They will look for cracked and decayed teeth, as well as review other important items such as:

– Medical history review: The dentist will assess how any new medical conditions or illnesses may affect your dental health.
– Examination of tooth decay: Your mouth will be checked for cracked or decayed teeth.
– Oral cancer screening: The face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums will be checked for any signs of oral cancer.
– Gum disease evaluation: Your gums and bone around the teeth will be checked for any evidence of periodontal disease.
– Examination of existing restorations: Current fillings, crowns, and other restorations are made sure to be in good order.

Additionally, your dentist will take diagnostic x-rays to reveal any other hidden problems, especially in the areas below the gums. Bitewing x-rays are typically taken every 12 months and a panographic x-ray, which revolves around the head, is taken every 3-5 years.

Common Patient Questions

How often should I get a dental exam and X-rays?

Most patients should have a dental exam every six months. Bitewing X-rays are typically taken once a year, while panoramic X-rays are usually taken every 3–5 years, depending on your dental health and risk factors.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. At Sierra Dental Practice, our modern equipment minimizes exposure while providing highly accurate diagnostic images.

What can a dental exam detect early?

A routine dental exam can catch cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, cracked teeth, infections, and issues beneath the gums before they become painful or require extensive treatment.

Do I need X-rays if I’m not having pain?

Yes. Many dental problems develop without symptoms. X-rays allow the dentist to see issues below the surface, such as decay between teeth or bone loss, before pain occurs.

What happens during a dental exam?

Your exam includes a review of your medical history, a visual examination of your teeth and gums, screening for oral cancer, evaluation of existing dental work, and diagnostic X-rays if needed.

How long does a dental exam and X-ray appointment take?

Most dental exams with X-rays take about 45–60 minutes, depending on your needs and whether additional imaging or discussion is required.

Are dental exams and X-rays covered by insurance?

Many dental insurance plans cover routine exams and X-rays at little to no cost. Our team is happy to verify your benefits and explain coverage before your visit.

Can children get dental X-rays?

Yes. Dental X-rays are safe for children and are only taken when necessary. They help monitor tooth development and detect cavities early, especially in hard-to-see areas.

Will I see my X-ray results during my visit?

Yes. Our digital imaging allows you to view your X-rays on screen during your appointment, so your dentist can explain findings clearly and answer any questions right away.

What if the dentist finds a problem during my exam?

If an issue is detected, we’ll explain your options clearly and recommend the most conservative treatment first. Early detection often means simpler, less costly care.
