Preventive dental care is the foundation of lifelong oral wellness. At BB Dental Care, Dr. Bryanna Hubbard provides thorough, unrushed dental examinations in a calm, modern setting. Our goal is to detect potential issues before they cause discomfort, helping you preserve your natural teeth for life.
A dental exam at our Burbank studio is more than just a quick look at your teeth. We perform a holistic assessment of your teeth, gum tissues, bite alignment, airway, and head and neck anatomy, pairing state-of-the-art diagnostic technology with personalized patient education.
What Is Included in Your Comprehensive Exam?
- Ultra-Low Dose Digital Radiography: High-resolution digital X-rays that reveal hidden interproximal decay, root health, and jawbone levels with 80% less radiation than traditional film.
- Comprehensive Periodontal Charting: Measuring gum pocket depths to catch early gingivitis or periodontitis before bone loss occurs.
- Oral Cancer Screening: A gentle examination of your tongue, throat, palate, and lymph nodes to identify any unusual tissue changes early.
- Occlusal & TMJ Evaluation: Checking your jaw joints and bite patterns for signs of nighttime clenching, grinding (bruxism), or airway issues.
- Restoration Integrity Check: Inspecting existing fillings, crowns, and dental work for margins, leaks, or wear.
