Comprehensive dental exam

A comprehensive dental exam is essential for maintaining good oral health. At Neola Dental in Minneola, we provide thorough and professional dental exams that help detect any potential dental issues early on. Whether you’re due for your routine check-up or seeking a detailed assessment of your oral health, we ensure you feel comfortable and well-cared for.

What is a comprehensive dental exam?

A comprehensive dental exam is an in-depth check-up conducted by a dentist to assess the overall health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. It typically includes a variety of diagnostic procedures aimed at identifying issues such as cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental conditions. A comprehensive dental exam goes beyond the regular check-up, providing a complete overview of your oral health.

During this exam, the dentist will evaluate your teeth for signs of decay or damage, check for gum disease, and inspect your mouth for any other oral health concerns. X-rays may be taken to further assess the health of your teeth and jawbone.

The importance of regular oral exams

Regular oral dental exams are vital in preventing future dental problems. By scheduling a comprehensive dental exam, you ensure that any potential issues are addressed before they become serious and costly. Early detection can prevent the need for more invasive treatments, saving you both time and money in the long run.

An oral dental exam also gives you the opportunity to learn more about how to maintain your oral health and prevent common issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Regular exams help monitor the condition of your teeth and gums, allowing for a proactive approach to dental care.

What to expect during your comprehensive dental exam

When you visit Neola Dental for your oral dental exam, you can expect a thorough, detailed process designed to ensure your oral health is in optimal condition. Here’s a breakdown of what happens during your visit:

1 Review of medical history

Your dentist will review your medical history, which helps identify any potential health issues that could affect your oral health.

2 Oral health assessment

The dentist will visually examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of disease or damage.

3 X-rays

Depending on your age, health, and dental history, the dentist may take X-rays to get a closer look at the structures beneath the surface of your teeth and gums.

4 Teeth cleaning

A professional cleaning is often included in your comprehensive exam. This removes plaque and tartar buildup to help prevent cavities and gum disease.

5 Discussion of findings

After the exam, your dentist will discuss the findings with you and recommend any necessary treatments or follow-up appointments.

Benefits of a comprehensive dental exam

There are several key benefits to undergoing an oral dental exam at Neola Dental:

1 Early detection of issues

Catching problems like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer early on can lead to simpler, more effective treatments.

2 Preventive care

3 Better overall health

Oral health is linked to overall health, and regular exams can help prevent dental issues that may lead to more serious health problems, such as heart disease.

Amazing office! Sarah was friendly and welcoming as she escorted me to my chair and proceeded to talk through what the plan was for my visit and the pricing. She then offered a “comfort menu” which consisted of refreshments, a pillow, blanket, Netflix shows among other things. Wow!
Esther is a wonderful hygienist and was gentle and thorough. Dr Contreras was experienced and very helpful with addressing my concerns. The staff gave me a clear treatment plan and guidance on how to move forward. I will definitely be back and this will have to be my new regular dentist! Highly recommend!

Both my husband and I had great experience at Neola Dental! Both of us were first timers there, we both felt this is the dental care we have been looking for. Every one of the team including Nashley, Sara, Esther, Dr. Contreras were welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly. Esther and Dr. Contreras didn’t rush, took the time to explain the current condition and provided recommendations accordingly. Sara explained the billing step by step. The location uses smart technologies, all service equipments are new, clean, top of the line. We are really pleased and hope to receive the continuation of the great services in coming days.

Best dental practice I have ever been too! I’m a very nervous person with dentists after some bad experiences over the years but everyone here are so kind and gentle and professional! I can’t thank even enough for putting my mind at ease and finally giving me a good experience - I am looking forward to my next appointment instead of dreading it!
My periodontist referred me to Neola for a re-evaluation of my mouth. Honestly, the location, the care, and the quality make a huge difference. Finding a new dentist who sees you as a patient (not just like a business) is extremely difficult these days. Thanks to everyone who made my visit comfortable, because many of us look for everything in one place, and for me it is.
Thank you Esther and Dr. Contreras 💖

My experience at Neola Dental was welcoming and comfortable. Everyone was kind and informative. The environment was clean and they are open about hearing your needs. I attached a few pictures of their lobby. Shout out to Esther, Nashley, and Dr. Contreras for taking good care of my teeth and to the Sara and the other receptionist's name I did not catch for taking care of all my paperwork. 😁

Everything went well. People in the front office are very welcoming. Cleaning was excellent. Good explanation of procedures and condition of overall oral health. Esther is excellent. Dr. Contreras as well. She explained everything in detail and made sure following procedures will run smoothly as well. Happy I decided to come to this office. Sometimes you get stuck in an office without exploring other options that could be better for you. I personally invite whoever is reading this review, to come to this office and check if they are what you have been looking for. They made a really good team. Thank you Neola Dental team!

As a medical professional I can say that this practice is top tier. They were so professional and nice. They weren’t judgmental and prices were fair ( went to a couple of other dental office to get prices). I Had a root canal and I didn’t feel a thing even the numbing injection. I wish all medical offices followed them on how to interact with patients. Me, my wife and brother in law will now be their clients.

I was so nervous and embarrassed because it had been years since my last teeth cleaning. The staff starting from the office assistant to the hygienist to the dentist were so welcoming, comforting, knowledgeable and empathetic that I soon relaxed and had a great dental experience. I would highly recommend them, and they have all the latest equipment as well!

This was me literally running to do a review.
I can’t say enough great things about this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, respected, and genuinely cared for. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step of the process—from the procedures being performed to the costs involved. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly and clearly, which really put me at ease.

What impressed me most was how much they prioritized my comfort and understanding. At no point did I feel rushed or confused. They made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit and even provided referrals in case they weren’t able to fully address my situation, showing a level of professionalism and integrity that’s hard to find.

This is more than just a dental office—it’s a team of compassionate professionals who truly care about their patients. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality dental care with a personal touch. Thank you again for making my experience such a positive one!
