About Our Dentist in Torrance, CA

Your first dental visit at Sparkle Family Dentistry is modified based on your dental condition, emergency needs, and your treatment priorities. However, there are some standard steps that help us to diagnose the problems comprehensively. These assessments are necessary because an ideal treatment plan can’t be achieved without a precise diagnosis.

After sitting in dental chair, your doctor will review your medical and dental history. In some patients it is needed to modify the treatments in proportion to systemic medical and/or oral condition.

Second step is clinical evaluation of your teeth surfaces, gums, lips, and oral soft tissues. Cancer screening will be done at this step.

Impression of teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues is taken for fabrication of diagnostic models.

Radiographic exam includes different techniques such as simple digital X rays, Pano, and CT scan. One or more of them will be used to evaluate the jaws’ bone, teeth’s roots, impacted teeth, joints and/or existing pathologic lesions.

In some cases, we use additional diagnostic tools like tooth vitality tests and intra oral high-resolution photography to find inflammatory changes inside the teeth or small cracks or abnormalities.

After careful evaluation of the data, Doctors will discuss the treatment options and alternatives with you, and our treatment coordinator will answer your questions about the treatment costs, financing, PPO insurance and other dental insurances.

Now you can choose your appropriate treatment in view of your priorities, clinical preferences, treatment costs and your time frame.
