Dental Exams

Regular exams are how we keep dentistry simple and affordable — small things stay small. At Acme Dental, your exam runs at your pace: we show you what we see, explain what it means in plain English, and let you decide what's next without ever pushing you. Austin patients tell us it's the first dental exam they've actually enjoyed.

What to expect.

  1. Catch us up

    We start by chatting through your health history, any changes since last time, and anything specific that's been bothering you.

  2. A careful look

    We examine your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues — including a quick, painless oral cancer screening that's part of every exam here.

  3. Images only when they help

    If we need a closer view, we take low-radiation digital X-rays and pull them up on the screen so we can review them together.

  4. Findings, on your terms

    We walk through everything we noticed and lay out your options. No jargon, no pressure — just a clear picture of where things stand.

Have questions about Dental Exams?

How often should I come in for an exam?
Most patients do well with an exam and cleaning every six months. We'll suggest a rhythm that fits your mouth and your life — not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Are digital X-rays safe?
Modern digital X-rays use very little radiation, far less than the old film versions. We only take them when they'll genuinely help us care for you.
Will the exam itself hurt?
Exams are gentle and non-invasive. If anything ever feels uncomfortable, just say so — we'll pause without making it a thing.
What happens if you find something?
We'll show you exactly what we found, explain why it matters, and lay out your options. Then the decision is yours — there's never any pressure to start that day.
How much does a checkup cost?
It depends on what we end up doing during your visit. We check your insurance first and give you a clear estimate before we begin, so you're never surprised at the front desk.

In their words

Patients on the experience.

  • I dreaded the dentist for years. Acme treated me like a person, not a tooth. I actually look forward to my cleanings now — I can't believe I'm saying that.

  • My six-year-old used to cry on the way to her old dentist. After two visits with the hygiene team here she now ASKS when her next cleaning is. Whatever you're doing, please keep doing it.

  • My kids actually ASK to go to Acme. The hygienist remembered that Lily likes the bubblegum fluoride. Small thing — huge difference for a six-year-old.
