The dentist then performs a visual examination of your mouth: the position of the teeth, the occlusion (i.e., how the upper and lower teeth fit together), the condition of the gums, and jaw growth if the examination is for a child or teenager.

Depending on the needs, we may perform:

• an impression of your teeth,
• X-rays to visualize internal structures that are not visible to the naked eye.
