At Manassra Dental, we believe that General Dentistry is the heart of a happy life. When your mouth feels good, you eat better, sleep better, and smile more.
Most of our patients just want to make sure they don’t have any hidden problems that are going to hurt later. We treat everyone like family, whether you’ve been coming to us for years or you’re new to the neighborhood and just realized you haven’t had a cleaning since you moved.
Dr. Ahmed Manassra combines dental expertise with a gentle, personalized approach that prioritizes patient comfort.
Our exams detect potential problems early and prevent them through proactive intervention and personalized treatment planning.
With digital X-rays and 3D imaging, we utilize the latest dental technologies to provide precise, minimally invasive diagnostics.
We create a relaxing, supportive environment where you are fully informed and comfortable throughout your visits.
We believe dentistry is not just about treating issues—it’s about building lifelong oral health habits that support your overall wellness.
Your first visit, or any new patient consultation, starts with a comprehensive oral exam. This detailed check looks at your dental and medical history, your current oral health, and creates a baseline record to guide your future care.
The comprehensive exam creates a clear starting point for your oral health. It helps Dr. Manassra plan your treatments, track changes over time, and make sure your smile looks and works its best. Because this exam is so detailed, most patients only need it every few years, unless they are new or have a higher risk of dental problems.
After establishing a baseline with the comprehensive exam, periodic oral examinations are performed regularly—usually every six months during routine dental visits. These exams focus on monitoring your oral health status, catching any changes or emerging problems early.
During a periodic exam, Dr. Manassra or our hygienists will:
Periodic exams are crucial in preventive dentistry to maintain your smile’s health, reduce the risk of advanced disease, and avoid complex procedures later on. They also provide opportunities for answering your questions and refining your oral care regimen and good oral health.
Sometimes, urgent dental issues such as pain, swelling, or trauma require focused attention. A limited oral examination, also called a problem-focused exam, addresses these immediate concerns promptly.
This exam involves:
Limited exams are essential for diagnosing dental emergencies quickly, minimizing discomfort, and preventing complications. Unlike comprehensive or periodic exams, limited exams prioritize immediate problem-solving rather than whole-mouth assessment.
At Manassra Dental, technology is a vital part of diagnosis and treatment planning. We use digital dental X-rays and 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to gain detailed insights into your oral anatomy with minimal radiation and maximum clarity.
Periodic exams play an important role in preventing dental problems. They help protect your smile healthy, lower the risk of serious issues, and reduce the need for more complex treatments later. They are efficient, safe, and essential for routine exams and treatment monitoring.
3D Dental Imaging (Cone Beam CT) offers a comprehensive three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaws, nerves, and sinuses. This advanced technology allows Dr. Manassra to plan implant placement, evaluate complex pathologies, assess trauma, and perform minimally invasive surgical procedures with exceptional accuracy. It enhances safety and helps predict treatment outcomes.
Together, these imaging modalities ensure thorough diagnostics for safer, more effective dental care.
Oral cancer screening is an essential part of every comprehensive and periodic dental exam at Manassra Dental. Dr. Manassra carefully checks all the soft tissues in your mouth—your gums, tongue, cheeks, palate, and throat—to spot early signs of abnormal changes.
This visual and tactile screening looks for unusual lumps, sores, color changes, or texture abnormalities. Early detection of oral cancer significantly improves treatment success for possible health conditions and survival rates.
We prioritize educating patients about oral cancer risk factors, including tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and HPV infection, empowering you to protect your long-term health.
Visiting Manassra Dental is a stress-free, welcoming experience, where Dr. Manassra takes the time to explain your oral health, answer questions, and create a care plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
