Comprehensive Dental Exam

Excellent Dentistry Provided by Compassionate Professionals

At Oxley Comprehensive Dentistry, we promise to prioritize your oral health and intently listen to your concerns to better ensure your needs are met. Under most circumstances, this process beings with a complete exam. Our comprehensive dental exams are designed to provide you with a thorough and personalized assessment of your current dental health. After you have a comprehensive understanding of your current oral health needs, our professionals will present solutions and possible outcomes for your consideration. We will work as a team to determine your priorities and answer any questions.

What to Expect:

  1. Dental history and chief complaint: If you are coming to us as a new patient, we would like to first get to know you! We will typically review any pertinent past dental experiences or treatments and discuss any specific concerns or questions you have about your oral health.
  2. Radiographic Exam: We utilize the latest digital radiographs which allow us to capture faster, high-quality images with minimal exposure. Our office also has a Panoramic and advanced CBCT or 3-d imaging.
  3. Diagnostic Photos: Our use of DSLR photography enables us to capture precise and detailed images of your teeth and smile. These photos help us get a “big picture” view of your smile and give you a visual of issues we are reviewing.
  4. Periodontal (Gum and Bone) Examination: We assess for any signs of periodontal disease or other conditions that may affect your oral health.
  5. Dental Exam for Cavities, Cracks, and Damage
  6. TMJ and Bite exam: The masticatory system (TMJ, muscles involved in eating and teeth) is a wonderful and complex structure and it is important to ensure this system is functioning properly.
  7. Oral Cancer Screenings: With oral cancer, early detection is crucial, and these screenings are performed during initial and routine periodic visits.
  8. Review of findings: You will have a personalized discussion with Dr. Oxley and our team about any findings from your exam. You can see any of the photos or x-rays and ask any questions.

Aside from floss fetishists or masochists with insurance, nobody “wants” to go to the dentist. But Dr. Oxley and his staff make each visit feel like a break from life. The office is clean, warm & welcoming, the staff all have great personalities, there’s a sweetheart little pug to pet on, they have the latest dental technology (seriously cool toys) and they offer several “spa” amenities for free!! Grab an espresso, water or maybe an essential oils infused hot towel!!! Dr. Oxley is the exact opposite of the typical physician. He is genuinely personable and easy to talk to, doesn’t rush you out the door, he takes real one-on-one time, explains everything, answers all of our questions (even dumb ones) and treats you like a human, not a chart. Skilled, straightforward, and real. My wife & 3 daughters have been to a couple of prominent “big name” dentist’s in New Bern & Morehead. Dr. Oxley & crew are on a whole other level & there’s just no comparison. I will never go to another dentist in this area and cannot give Dr Oxley anything but my highest recommendation.
