What Are Dental Exams?
Regular dental exams are a cornerstone of any oral health routine, serving as a preventive measure against future problems that may impact the health and appearance of your smile. An annual oral exam at Dental Arts of Rockland gives our team a chance to identify dental caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer, and various other problems that could be affecting your oral and general health. Usually carried out at biannual teeth cleaning visits, comprehensive exams allow our team to get a more complete picture of your teeth, gumline, bite, jaw, and other oral structures so they can identify and treat any issues before they develop into serious problems. To best preserve the health and visual appeal of your mouth, schedule your next annual dental examination at our Orangeburg, NY office.
What Can I Expect During My Dental Exam?
To start, a member of our team will begin with a review of your dental history. We'll also go over any ongoing treatments or other details we should know about your dental health. We may also capture detailed digital impressions using our office's advanced intraoral scanner to get a comprehensive view of your mouth and jaw. We will check your enamel, look for signs of injury or decay, and assess the condition of any dental restorations (like crowns or bridges) to ensure they're still intact. We'll also conduct a gum exam to see if there are any indications of periodontal disease.
What Are the Benefits of Regular Dental Exams?
At Dental Arts of Rockland, we recommend that all patients schedule at least one comprehensive dental exam each year to protect their teeth, gums, and jaw from potential problems. The benefits of regular dental exams at our Orangeburg, NY practice include:
- Custom dental guidance
- Fresh breath
- Learning about correct flossing and brushing methods
- Decreased chance of tooth loss
- Improved oral hygiene
- Early detection and management of oral health concerns
- Preserve the health and appearance of your smile

I can’t say enough good things about Dental Arts of Rockland. Dr. Gellis is highly skilled, professional, kind and attentive. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and truly cares about their patients. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family. I always leave feeling well cared for and confident in my dental health. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional dental care in a supportive and friendly environment.
I first went to see Dr Gellis to correct a filling that another dentist had unsuccessfully filled multiple times. I was very nervous because I had recently had poor experiences with my old dentist, but my friend recommended Dr Gellis and I’m so glad she did! Dr Gellis was able to fix my filling and correct the mistakes that had been made by my old dentist. I’m now a patient of Dental Arts of Rockland and receive my all my dental care from Dr Gellis - I trust him to give me accurate information and great care! I cannot recommend Dental Arts of Rockland enough!
