Your initial examination is conducted taking all of these factors into account. Looking beyond just the tooth, Dr. Fling will evaluate the entire system, looking comprehensively at all parameters.

1. Evaluating each toot
2. Diagnosing any periodontal or gum disease problems
3. Determing if there is any Occlusal Disease patterns
4. Soft tissue evaluation
5. TMJ evaluation
6. An Aesthetic “Smile” evaluation

After comprehensively evaluating your needs, Dr. Fling will prescribe methods to educate exactly what your treatment options might be. With the use of diagnostic study models, intraoral photography and documentation of many completed procedures, Dr. Fling will demonstrate and illustrate a customized and comprehensive treatment plan, always keeping your desires and expectations in mind.

Dentistry is micro-surgery. Using a special lighted mirror in conjunction with high magnification eyeware enables us to create dental restorations with incredibility precise fit and finish. You just can’t fulfill that level of care with the naked eye.

Intraoral Camera

Many patients, especially younger patients, are very familiar with the latest technology and are more comfortable with the high tech practice. Computers and TV screens are their primary method of information processing.

Dr. Fling utilizes intraoral camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your diagnosis. An intraoral camera is a very small camera. In some cases, an intraoral camera is just a few millimeters long. An intraoral camera allows our practice to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth and gums, in order for us to accurately make a diagnosis. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time for you!

Intra oral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. These treatments can be printed as for you, other specialists, and your lab or insurance companies.
