Why Choose Dental Exams & Cleanings at Makris Dental?
While all dental offices offer exams and cleanings, the level of expertise, thoroughness, and attention to detail varies significantly. Dr. Cokovska's prosthodontic training ensures exceptionally comprehensive care.
Prosthodontist Level Examination
Dr. Cokovska's advanced training allows her to identify subtle problems that general dentists might miss, including early bite issues, tooth wear patterns, and signs of TMJ disorders.
Comprehensive Oral Cancer Screening
Every exam includes thorough screening of your mouth, tongue, throat, and neck tissues for early signs of oral cancer, providing life saving early detection.
Personalized Prevention Plans
Based on your unique risk factors, habits, and oral health status, we create customized recommendations for home care, dietary modifications, and preventive treatments.
State of the Art Technology
Digital x-rays with 90% less radiation, intraoral cameras that show you what we see, and advanced diagnostic tools ensure accurate assessments and informed treatment decisions.
Our Advanced Technology
Modern preventive dentistry relies on sophisticated technology to detect problems invisible to the naked eye. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, we utilize digital radiography that provides detailed images with significantly reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional x-rays. Intraoral cameras allow you to see exactly what Dr. Cokovska sees, helping you understand any areas of concern.
Advanced diagnostic tools detect cavities in their earliest stages, often before they're visible or cause pain. Our ultrasonic scaling technology removes stubborn tartar buildup more comfortably and efficiently than traditional hand instruments. This technology enhanced approach makes your preventive visits more thorough, more comfortable, and more effective at maintaining your oral health.
