Dental Exams & X-Rays in North Hollywood
Whether you're due for a routine checkup or dealing with a toothache that won't quit, our dentists will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw, review your digital X-rays with you, and tell you exactly what's going on. No pressure, no confusing jargon — just a clear plan. Ask about our $50 limited emergency exam for urgent concerns, applied directly toward any treatment you need.
What Happens During a Dental Exam & X-Ray Visit?
Our dentist will check your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw, then review your X-rays with you in plain language. You'll see the images on-screen, hear what they show, and walk through any next steps together. No pressure, no surprise treatment plans.
We're looking for the early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, infection, and even oral cancer. Catching these issues early is almost always less invasive and less expensive than waiting until they become emergencies.
If you're already in pain, the exam works the same way, just faster. We'll prioritize finding the source of your discomfort so we can talk through relief options the same day.
Routine, Preventive Visit
You're keeping up with your 6-month checkup, want a baseline set of X-rays, or are establishing care with a new dentist. We'll make sure nothing is sneaking up on you.
Urgent, Same-Day Concern
You're dealing with a toothache, swelling, or a cracked tooth and need answers now. Our $50 limited emergency exam is built for exactly this — fast diagnosis, clear next steps.
What Types of Dental Exams & X-Rays Do You Offer?
Limited Emergency Exam
A focused exam and problem-area X-ray to find the source of sudden pain, swelling, or injury fast. Built for same-day relief, not a full checkup.
Comprehensive Exam
A full evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. We check for decay, gum disease, infection, and early signs of oral cancer.
Bitewing X-Rays
Four detailed images of your back teeth that catch cavities between teeth and track bone levels for early gum disease.
Full Mouth Series (FMX)
A complete set of X-rays covering every tooth, root, and surrounding bone, helping us catch deep decay, bone loss, and hidden infections.
Diagnostic Pain Workup
For unexplained pain or sensitivity, we combine a clinical exam with targeted imaging to pinpoint exactly which tooth or structure is the problem.
New Patient Exam
Establishing care with us? This visit includes a full exam, necessary X-rays, and a conversation about your goals and any concerns.
How Do I Know If My Tooth Pain Needs an Urgent Exam?
- Throbbing or sharp tooth pain that doesn't go away with over-the-counter pain relievers, especially if it's worse at night.
- Visible swelling in your face, gums, or jaw, particularly if it's spreading or accompanied by fever.
- A cracked, chipped, or knocked-out tooth from an injury or accident. Quick evaluation often means more treatment options.
- A bad taste or odor coming from one specific tooth, which can signal an infection that needs prompt attention.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers for more than a few seconds after the trigger is gone.
- Not sure what's wrong, but something feels off. You don't need to self-diagnose. An exam and X-ray will tell us exactly what's going on.
