What Can You Expect During Your Dental Exam?
While your routine dental exam is a fully personalized experience here at Sera Dental, the following is a look at what you may expect.
iTero Intraoral Scan
We begin every new patient exam and recall visits by capturing 3D images of your teeth, gums, bite, and other oral structures using our cutting-edge iTero intraoral scanner. This allows our team to identify areas of concern, track tooth wear, gum disease, and bite problems, and plan restorative or preventive care with exceptional accuracy and precision. We can also compare scans over time to monitor oral health changes and identify any potential changes or problems, ensuring prompt intervention.
Comprehensive Exam
We will capture digital dental X-rays as needed to uncover any hidden concerns, including early decay, bone loss, cysts, impacted teeth, and more. We will carefully examine your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work. We check for early signs of tooth decay, infection, gum disease, enamel wear, and any concerns that may affect your long-term oral health.
Oral Cancer Screening
Dr. Koo will gently examine your mouth, tongue, lips, cheeks, and throat to detect any abnormalities in their earliest stages, when treatment is most effective. Oral cancer screenings are fast, painless, and can be life-saving in many cases.

What Happens During Your Cleaning?
Here is a look at what you can expect during your gentle dental cleaning experience:
Step 1
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
-------------------We offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a modern, minimally invasive alternative to traditional cleanings. Using EMS Airflow and ultrasonic technology, GBT removes biofilm, the sticky bacterial layer behind cavities and gum disease, reaching difficult areas with greater comfort and less sensitivity.
Step 2
Fluoride Treatment (Optional)
-------------------Depending on your unique needs, we may recommend fluoride treatment as an additional layer of protection against cavities. Touted as nature’s cavity fighter, the powerful mineral helps strengthen your tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay.
Step 3
Oral Health Patient Education
-------------------We'll review your oral health, discuss any findings, and answer all your questions. You'll receive personalized home-care recommendations, brushing and flossing guidance, and prevention tips to keep your smile healthy between visits. Our goal is to empower you to maintain a lifetime of excellent oral health.
