Comprehensive Dental Exam in Tribeca, NYC
Why a comprehensive dental exam matters
A comprehensive dental exam looks beyond a quick cleaning. It’s a head-to-toe oral health review that helps catch issues early and plan smart, conservative care.
At Tribeca Smiles in New York, NY, comprehensive exams evaluate your overall health and oral hygiene status, risks for tooth/root decay and gum/bone disease, bite/TMJ issues, and the need for restorations or replacements—plus detailed X-rays for a fuller picture.
How often? We recommend a full exam annually, with preventive visits every six months to stay ahead of problems.
What’s included in your exam
- Digital X-rays (as indicated)
- Screening for periodontal disease and oral cancer
- Bite and TMJ evaluation
- Review of medical history and medications
- Check of existing restorations and prosthetics
- Personalized treatment planning
During your visit, Dr. Frederick Solomon, evaluates the mouth, teeth, gums, tongue, roof of the mouth, cheeks, throat, head/neck, jaw and TMJs, and your bite. He discusses findings, how they affect your health, and next steps.
Medications and medical conditions are reviewed, especially those that can contribute to dry mouth and decay. Existing dentures, bridges, and other prosthetics are checked for fit and maintenance.

Do I need a compehensive dental exam?
Everyone benefits from a comprehensive exam—even if nothing hurts and your teeth look white. Many issues, including gum disease (a leading cause of tooth loss), don’t show early symptoms.
If it’s been a year since your last comprehensive exam—or you’ve never had periodontal, X-ray, or oral-cancer screening—schedule now.
