Dental exams help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bite problems before they become painful or costly.

With 25+ years of experience, Dr. Hanam-Jahr blends cosmetic skill with airway-focused care you can trust.

Why Regular Dental Exams Matter in Beverly Hills

Life here is busy, but quick checks now save time later. We spot early signs of decay, gum inflammation, grinding, or airway issues before they escalate. Most adults do best with exams every six months, and high-risk patients may benefit from shorter intervals.

Your visit includes a health review, tooth-by-tooth exam, gum charting, bite and jaw assessment, and an oral cancer screening. We also discuss sleep, dry mouth, medications, and diet. This complete view lets us create a plan that fits your goals and schedule.

Preventive Dentistry

Small steps make a big difference between visits. During your exam, we focus on simple, science-backed prevention strategies that are easy to follow at home.

• Professional cleanings remove sticky plaque and hard tartar that brushing misses.
• Targeted fluoride strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of new cavities.
• Dental sealants protect deep grooves in molars where bacteria collect.
• Saliva and pH checks help us spot dry mouth that can speed up decay.
• Personalized home-care coaching shows small changes that protect enamel.

These habits build stronger smiles over time. We personalize your plan and check progress at your next dental exam. Prevention keeps care simple and budgets predictable for busy Beverly Hills life.

Oral Cancer Screening

Every dental exam includes an oral cancer screening. It is quick, gentle, and could be lifesaving. We examine your lips, cheeks, tongue, palate, and throat for color changes, sores, or lumps.

Screenings also include a short risk review, such as tobacco, alcohol, sun exposure, HPV, or family history. If we see something unusual, we document it and schedule a timely follow-up. Early detection supports simpler treatment and better outcomes.

Digital Dental X-Rays

Digital dental X-rays reveal problems we cannot see with lights and mirrors alone. They help us find decay between teeth, check bone levels, and evaluate infections with very low radiation.

We take images only when needed for a clear diagnosis. That balance protects your health and guides precise care. Many patients in the Golden Triangle appreciate seeing side-by-side images that explain their options clearly.

Visit Type	What It Includes	When It Helps Most
Dental exam	Full check of teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues	Every 6 months or as advised
Professional cleaning	Plaque and tartar removal above and below gumline	Every 6 months or as advised
Problem visit	Focused exam for a specific concern or pain	As soon as symptoms appear

Periodontal Screening and Gum Health

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. During each dental exam, we gently measure pocket depths and note bleeding points. These numbers reveal hidden inflammation and help target care.

If your gums need extra support, we outline a clear plan. That may include deeper cleanings, medicated rinses, or specific home tools. We track healing and celebrate progress at your next visit.

Kids and Teen Dental Exams in Beverly Hills

Children and teens benefit from early, steady care. We track growth and spacing, teach brushing skills, and watch for airway clues like mouth breathing or snoring. Parents receive simple reports and clear next steps.

• Sports guards protect active kids from chips and fractures.
• Sealants shield chewing surfaces from decay.
• If alignment support is needed, we explain options in plain language and map out a practical timeline.

What To Expect At Your Dental Exam Visit

A calm visit helps you relax and get the answers you need. Here is how a typical appointment flows, step by step.

• Friendly check-in, health review, and conversation about your goals.
• Photos and digital X-rays only when needed for accurate diagnosis.
• Gentle cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains.
• Dr. Hanam-Jahr’s exam, bite check, and oral cancer screening.
• Clear plan, cost review, and timeline that fits your schedule.

You leave with clear next steps and zero guesswork. Our team keeps communication simple from start to finish.

Cosmetic and Airway Insights 

Many patients ask about brighter, more balanced smiles during their exams. We can review whitening, bonding, veneers, or alignment and discuss maintenance. Small cosmetic updates can refresh a smile without major work.

We also look for airway signs like grinding, scalloped tongues, or daytime fatigue. If sleep concerns appear, we may suggest home sleep screening or a trusted referral. Better breathing supports both oral health and overall wellness.

Insurance, Fees, and Flexible Options

We explain costs before any care begins. Many plans cover dental exams, X-rays, and cleanings on a set schedule. We help you understand your benefits and plan the best timing.

No insurance? We are still here to help. We offer clear fee ranges and flexible payment choices. Smart prevention keeps future costs and surprises low.

Beverly Hills Patient Stories
