Your Comprehensive Exam
Here is what to expect from Dr. Nosti and Dr. Sheikh.
Full-Mouth X-Rays
Patients get a series of full-mouth x-rays, as needed, using our low-radiation digital x-ray equipment.
Consultation
The doctor will discuss any concerns with you, go over your health history and previous dental experiences, and what you would like to change about your smile.
Oral Cancer Screening
New patient exams in Mays Landing and Somers Point, NJ include an oral cancer screening. Our team checks for any lesions that could become a problem.
External Photography
For patients interested in a smile makeover or dental rehabilitation in Mays Landing or Somers Point, NJ, we take digital photos of your face and profile, and of your mouth and teeth.
TMJ Exam
The doctor checks your TMJ (jaw joint) for any problems. For some cases, the doctor will check your TMJ function with the Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA). By measuring the vibrations of the jaw upon opening and closing it, the JVA records if there’s any excess friction your joint is producing, indicating non-optimal jaw function.
Intraoral Photography
In some cases, we take photos of the inside of your mouth using an intraoral camera. This helps you and us see exactly what is going on.
Review of Dental and Medical History
Patients fill out a health questionnaire, and the doctor reviews this, along with your medical history and dental history.
Oral Exam
Our dentist performs an inspection of the inside of the mouth, checking the condition of your teeth, plus examining your gums for disease.
