Visual Exam

Any dentist near me will examine your oral cavity for any signs of decay, soreness, cavities or chipped teeth whenever conducting a visual exam. At times, our dentist in 90027 may suggest a diagnostic x-ray for a clearer picture.

Diagnostic X-Rays

Modern dental x-ray technology provides an accurate, 360-degree view of your teeth. They are safe, quick and painless and allow the dentist to decide on the best course of treatment.

Oral Cancer Screening

Rosemarie Quimson-Cruz, DMD, Inc offers reliable oral cancer screenings for early detection and diagnosis of oral cancer. Our trained dentist will examine the insides of your cheeks, lips, sides and underside of the tongue and back of the throat for lesions, patches, lumps, masses or unusual discolorations.

Screening for Gum Disease

Gum disease develops when untreated bacteria attack the gingival tissue that holds your teeth in place. During an exam, we will check for soreness, redness or bleeding in the gums.

Once the exam is over, our hygienist will take over for a thorough cleaning session.
