— Understanding the EXAM
What is a comprehensive dental exam?
A dental check-up at Tricity Smiles in Chandigarh goes far beyond a quick look at your teeth. It is a thorough examination of your entire mouth — teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, tongue, and soft tissues — combined with digital X-rays and high-resolution intraoral photography so you can see exactly what we see.
Dr. Sandhu uses digital X-ray sensors to detect hidden decay and assess bone health, takes detailed hi-res photographs of every area of concern, and performs 3D scanning of your bite and mouth when indicated. Every exam also includes an oral cancer screening of the tongue, palate, and soft tissues. You leave with a clear picture of your oral health — and a plan to protect it.

What to expect during your dental examination
No waiting, no surprises — just a thorough, well-organised appointment.
01
Medical & Dental History
You’ll complete your medical and dental history forms online before your appointment — so when you walk in, there’s no paperwork, no clipboard, and no waiting. We review everything before you sit down.
02
Thorough Examination
Dr. Sandhu inspects every tooth surface, checks your gums for signs of disease, assesses your bite alignment, evaluates your jaw joints, and performs an oral cancer screening of all soft tissues — nothing gets missed.
03
Photos & X-Rays
Hi-res intraoral photographs capture detailed images of your teeth and gums. Digital X-rays are taken as clinically needed. When indicated, 3D scanning maps your bite and mouth to show you exactly what’s going on.
04
Findings, Plan & Pricing
Dr. Sandhu walks you through every finding on-screen — X-rays, photographs, and clinical notes. You leave with a clear, prioritised treatment plan and transparent pricing. No surprises, no pressure.

— Our Philosophy
We don’t do “free consultations.” Here’s why.
Many dental clinics in Chandigarh offer free consultations. It sounds generous — but what does a free consultation actually involve? Usually a quick glance, a vague diagnosis, and a quote for treatment. No X-rays. No photographs. No detail. The real costs come later.
We do things differently. Your first appointment at Tricity Smiles is a comprehensive exam — digital X-rays, hi-res intraoral photographs, 3D scanning when needed, oral cancer screening, and a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. It takes 30 minutes, not 5.
Is it free? No. Because thorough diagnostics take time, skill, and technology — and our team works hard to give you real answers from day one. We believe the first step in your dental journey should be the most detailed one, not the cheapest one. That’s how you build trust. That’s how you avoid surprises down the road.
— FAQ
Dental check-up FAQs
Common questions about dental examinations and X-rays — answered clearly.
What does a comprehensive dental exam include?
A comprehensive dental exam at Tricity Smiles includes a thorough inspection of every tooth and gum surface, digital X-rays as clinically needed, hi-res intraoral photographs, 3D scanning of your bite when indicated, oral cancer screening, and a personalised treatment plan with transparent pricing — all discussed on-screen so you can see exactly what we see.
How often should I get a dental check-up?
Most adults should have a dental check-up every 6 months. Patients with gum disease, a history of cavities, or certain medical conditions may need check-ups every 3–4 months. Dr. Sandhu will recommend a personalised schedule based on your oral health.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays at Tricity Smiles use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film. A single digital X-ray exposes you to less radiation than a short flight or a day in natural sunlight. Lead aprons and thyroid collars are always used for additional protection.
Why don’t you offer free consultations?
Because a proper examination takes time, expertise, and technology — and none of those are free. A free consultation is typically a brief look followed by a treatment pitch. Our comprehensive exam gives you digital X-rays, hi-res photos, 3D scanning when needed, oral cancer screening, and a detailed plan with pricing. We believe your first appointment should give you real answers, not a sales conversation.
Do I need X-rays at every dental visit?
Not necessarily. Dr. Sandhu takes X-rays only when clinically needed — to investigate pain, check for hidden decay, or assess bone health. Your previous X-rays are reviewed first, and new ones are only taken if they will change your diagnosis or treatment plan.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
You’ll receive online forms to complete before your visit — medical history, dental history, and any concerns. This means zero paperwork and zero waiting when you arrive. If you have previous X-rays or records from another dentist, bring those along so Dr. Sandhu can review them.
