Dental Examination Varna
Regular dental check-ups are the foundation of preventive dentistry. Dr. Yordanova carries out a full assessment of the teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues of the mouth. Early detection of problems saves pain, complex treatment and significant expense. We recommend a check-up every 6 months.
What does a full dental examination include?
At a check-up, Dr. Yordanova assesses:
- Teeth – checking for cavities, cracks, defective fillings and crowns
- Gums and periodontium – pocket depths, bleeding, recession and tooth mobility
- Bite and occlusion – overloaded teeth, bruxism and temporomandibular joint dysfunction
- Soft tissues – screening the mucosa for early signs of oral cancer
- Existing restorations – crowns, bridges, dentures – fit and integrity
Digital X-ray – the key to early diagnosis
Many dental problems are invisible to the naked eye. Digital X-ray reveals:
- Interproximal cavities – between teeth, invisible during a visual examination
- Periapical lesions – chronic infection with no symptoms
- Bone loss from periodontitis
- Subgingival tartar
- Position of impacted teeth and wisdom teeth
When should you come for a check-up?
- Preventively – every 6 months, even without symptoms
- For toothache, sensitivity or discomfort
- For bleeding gums when brushing
- For any change in colour or shape of a tooth
- Before planned prosthodontic treatment (crowns, dentures, implants)
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have a dental examination?
Every 6 months with healthy teeth and gums. For patients with higher risk of cavities, periodontitis or diabetes – every 3–4 months.
Should children come for check-ups?
Yes – from the eruption of the first tooth or by age 3. Early visits build positive habits and allow early intervention.
What if I have no pain – do I still need to come?
Absolutely. Many dental problems – interproximal cavities, early periodontitis, early oral cancer – have no symptoms in early stages. Early detection is key.
Is the examination painful?
No – a standard check-up is painless. Digital X-rays are quick and comfortable.
How long does an examination take?
A full new-patient examination with X-rays takes about 30–45 minutes. Regular check-ups for established patients take around 20–30 minutes.
