Why choose us
Modern dental exams involve much more than just looking for cavities – they’re comprehensive health assessments that catch problems early. A thorough exam requires both advanced screening technology and experienced analysis of your oral health patterns. Dr. Kitts uses digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, and detailed charting systems to create a complete picture of your dental health, identifying potential issues before they become serious problems.
Dr. Kitts has refined his examination process through 20 years of clinical experience. His systematic approach to dental screening, combined with his use of advanced imaging technology, has helped hundreds of patients understand and maintain their oral health. Each exam provides a thorough assessment of teeth, gums, bite alignment, and oral tissues, ensuring no detail is missed.
I have been seeing Dr Kitts for at least 30 years, since I was a very small child and he was still at the previous office location. Even when I was living in another state, I timed my dentist appointments for my visits back to WA when possible. You cannot find a better dentist. The new office is very well equipped with the latest tech. The team is fantastic - typically I see Brett. I've never had a negative experience, not even when I was a little kid.

Frequently asked questions
Below are answers to questions we often hear about our dental examination process. This information provides an overview of what to expect during your exam, though we may recommend additional screenings based on your individual needs.
What is a dental exam?
A dental exam is a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health conducted by a dentist. It involves inspecting your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, disease, or other issues, often including X-rays to detect problems not visible to the naked eye. Regular dental exams help in early detection and prevention of oral health problems.
How often should I have a dental exam?
It’s generally recommended to have a dental exam every six months. However, the frequency may vary based on individual health needs; some people might require more frequent check-ups. Regular visits ensure timely identification and management of potential oral health issues.
What can I expect during a dental exam?
During a dental exam, the dentist will assess your teeth and gums for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other health issues. They may take X-rays to get a comprehensive view of your oral health. The exam often concludes with a discussion about your oral hygiene practices and any necessary treatments.
Are dental exams necessary if I have no symptoms?
Yes, dental exams are crucial even if you’re not experiencing any symptoms. Many oral health issues, like cavities or gum disease, can develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Regular exams allow for early detection and treatment, preventing more serious problems down the line.
How do dental exams contribute to overall health?
Dental exams can reveal signs of nutritional deficiencies, general infections, and illnesses that affect the entire body. Conditions like diabetes and heart disease have been linked to oral health, so maintaining regular dental check-ups can aid in monitoring and managing your overall health. Early detection of oral health issues can prevent complications that might impact other bodily systems.
