During your routinely visit with us, our first course of action will be your dental exam. We conduct dental exams to identify potential dental problems in your mouth that you may not know existed. In its early stages, tooth decay is not usually visible to most naked eyes. This means a small cavity can quickly grow into a major problem if it weren’t for dental exams. To detect problems like early signs of decay or cavities, we take dental x-rays. This gives us an inside look of what’s occurring in your mouth that we can’t see. Once we detect any problems, we can give them the necessary treatment to prevent them from growing worse.
Not only do we search for dental decay during your dental exams, but we look for other problems like chips or cracks in your teeth, bad fillings, gum disease, signs of oral cancer and signs of bruxism. If you have any pain or concerns, you can bring them up with Dr. Gohard during your dental exam. Routine dental exams can help prevent serious problems from occurring and allow you to receive early and minimally invasive dental care.

Whether you already have missing teeth or you are visiting our dental office and find out that dentures might be a good option for you, every patient may experience a different type of preparation for dentures. First, Dr. Gohard will examine your mouth to see if you need to have any additional teeth pulled before beginning the dentures procedure. If you have only a few remaining teeth and their future doesn’t look promising, we might recommend having them pulled.
Once Dr. Gohard has declared you a good candidate for dentures, she will provide you with a pair of temporary dentures to wear until your permanent ones arrive from the lab. If you recently had teeth pulled, we will need to wait until your gums completely heal to take impressions for your permanent dentures. While you wait for your permanent pair to return from the lab, you will wear temporary dentures which will help you get used to the feeling of wearing them daily. Once your gums are healed from any extractions you had, our dentist in Florham Park will take impressions of your gums.
When your permanent pair of dentures return from the lab, Dr. Gohard will have you try them on to confirm that they fit correctly. If necessary, she will make adjustments so they fit more comfortably. Once the fit is right, you can be on your way.
