What to Expect

At Kardynal Dental, we believe in comfort as a standard of care and understand that communication and ease are key to a dentist visit. With empathy and compassionate professionalism leading the way, here is what a standard visit at Kardynal Dental looks like:

Step 1: Medical Review

We review your medication and health history and discuss current medical conditions before developing an oral treatment plan.

Step 2: Assessment

Our dentists perform a head and neck assessment, looking for any abnormalities that require a closer examination.

Step 3: Oral Cancer Screening

Our dentists use advanced screening technology to identify early signs of oral cancer.

Step 4: Periodontal Exam

Our dentists perform a thorough periodontic examination that includes assessing gum inflammation and tooth condition, and taking X-rays.

Step 5: Cleaning

After your assessments, our dentists determine the level of care required, whether that's routine cleaning, deep cleaning, or periodontal maintenance cleaning.

How We Use X-Ray Digital Capture Technology

Radiographs

Radiographs, or X-rays, help detect dental issues like gum disease and cavities. A dental X-ray allows us to see your jawbone, tooth roots, and nerves, and identify early decay beneath fillings, infection, tumors, and other issues that are harder to verify during visual exams.

The different types of radiograph technology we use:

Bitewings and Periapical Radiographs

Annually recommended radiographs to assess parts of the tooth structure that aren't visible to the naked eye, such as the roots, the root canals, dentin, and pulp.

Panoramic

Panoramic X-rays allow us to see all the structures in your mouth, including the Temporomandibular joints, sinuses, supporting bone, and all upper and lower teeth, in one single image.

FMX

We recommend FMX X-rays every three to five years. These X-rays show us detailed images of each tooth and its surrounding structure, and when used with other X-rays, helps us diagnose dental conditions.

3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Scan

CBCT Scans produce significantly detailed 3D images that help us diagnose tooth fractures, map bone density for dental implants, identify hidden root canals, and more.

Brighten Your Smile

Teeth Whitening

Over time, your smile can dull from lifestyle habits, such as smoking and certain foods and drinks that you consume, including tea and coffee. Kardynal Dental can help you brighten your smile with two convenient cosmetic options:

  • In-office Bleaching: Get quick results (in as little as 45 minutes). Multiple treatments may be recommended based on shade preference.

  • Professional-Grade Take-Home Kits: Our take-home kits feature stronger formulations than over-the-counter options. Our dentists will provide detailed instructions to help you prevent gum sensitivity during treatment.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Improved Aesthetics: Teeth whitening helps remove stains and discoloration.
Long-Lasting Results: With the right aftercare, professional teeth whitening can last for years!
Reliable: Over-the-counter teeth whitening products vary widely in ingredients and can have differing levels of results. When a dentist performs teeth whitening, closer oversight can lead to more predictable results.
Quick: A professional teeth whitening session can be done within an hour, making it an easy time commitment.
