Comprehensive Dental Examinations
Comprehensive dental exams go far beyond the standard cleanings and checkups you may remember from childhood. At Donna Peterson, DDS, we offer in-depth evaluations of your oral health history and the current condition of your teeth, gums, jaw, neck, and throat to ensure your dental health is at its best. Regular exams are essential for tracking changes and addressing potential issues early.
Dr. Peterson utilizes cutting-edge technology to detect even the earliest signs of gum disease, oral cancer, or complications with previous dental work. These thorough assessments allow us to develop long-term, personalized care plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
