J. Marie Stidham, DMD, PA offers a full array of dental services to help you maintain healthy teeth. You can read more on this page about our distinctive services and technology.
Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination,of your teeth, gums and occlusion (bite). Dr. Stidham will examine the soft tissues of your mouth and throat ( cancer screening), and evaluate your temperomandibular joint (TMJ ). A small camera will be used to take intra oral photos of your teeth and digital x-rays will be made as necessary to allow proper diagnosis. Treatment options will be discussed to help you select the appropriate plan for you. Our Patient Care Coordinator will assist you in scheduling treatment, and fully explain the flexible payment options available to you.
