A dental checkup is a routine oral health examination that typically includes professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening. These services work together to provide a complete picture of your oral health and detect potential issues early on. Dr. Ezzy uses advanced digital X-ray systems and CBCT imaging to make accurate diagnoses and plan effective treatment. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene work together to prevent tooth decay and cavities. Most patients benefit from visits every six months, though some need more frequent care.

Real Patients, Real Stories
I had been a patient of Dr Swenson for many years & had concerns when he retired about his replacement. I’ve now had a routine appointment and a crown replacement and am very pleased with the services and the outcome. Dr. Exit is professional, gentle & personable. Her technique is excellent and she takes the time to let you know what is going on with your teeth so you can apply preventative measures to protect your teeth & gums.
Dr Ezzy and her staff are knowledgeable, cheerful & attentive ! It’s a pleasure to go to the dentist when it’s Dr. Ezzy’s office!
Visited yesterday to treat my wife allergic reaction in mouth after 1 month of suffering and not treated by other medical providers. Dr.Ezzy properly diagnosed and prescribed medications working well so for.
Dr. Ezzy and the entire staff were incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and well taken care of. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt at ease throughout the visit. Dr. Ezzy took the time to listen carefully and explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. The level of care and attention to detail truly stood out. The office was clean, organized, and ran smoothly, making the whole experience even better. I’m very grateful for the excellent service and would highly recommend Dr. Ezzy and the team to anyone looking for quality care.
All systems were go, two implants were done. Same day and following day NO PAIN. Alittle discomfort but minimal at best.
Great experience! Office staff is very friendly and professional! Dr Ezzy is efficient and very concerned about comfort and quality of work!
Great staff and great customer service.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Ezzy. From scheduling the appointment to the actual visit, everything was smooth and stress-free. The team is friendly, organized, and genuinely cares about patients. Dr. Ezzy is not only highly skilled but also very kind and reassuring, which made a big difference for me. They took the time to listen to my concerns and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. The treatment was quick, painless, and done with great attention to detail. It’s rare to find a dental office that combines professionalism with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I’m really grateful to have found Dr. Ezzy and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality dental care.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Ezzy and the entire dental team. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease.

The office is clean, modern, and well-organized, which really adds to the overall comfort. What stood out the most was the gentle care and attention to detail — I never felt rushed, and my comfort was always a priority.

Dr. Ezzy is a wonderful Dentist. All her staff are so nice, they compliment each other. I will definitely refer others to: Smile Tustin by Dr. Ezzy! 😉
Dr Ezzy and staff were all absolutely amazing. My cleaning was the best I have ever had. She was so gentle and made me feel at ease even though I hadn’t been for a cleaning in a while. Dr Ezzy was compassionate, caring and very thorough. She spent time explaining things and setting a plan moving forward. I highly recommend!
They are extremely tech-advanced and properly staffed. I really wish I had found them sooner. In life, you have to switch to a dentist that can provide you with proper care including having staff properly respond. Shout out to Debbie, she sealed the deal for me not because of sales skills but because of patient education and also having a seven year old CEREC crown herself. Even basic things like X-rays and numbing are done so much better here than at any other office I’ve been to. I already got a same-day CEREC crown here, and they also offer financing options. I do have several cavities and may need more crowns in the future (based on x rays from my previous dentist)—not because they are pushing treatment, but because I’ve had long-standing dental issues from large childhood fillings and nerve involvement. I’ll need to get an x ray here when I’m back and see what options they can provide to me. Maybe there are other ways. I finally found a place I trust with my long-term dental health. It’s been depressing finding one problem after another, but I feel genuinely safe starting treatment here. The staffing is especially important, because for urgent care, education, and follow-up, this is the first office that has truly met those needs.

Yes, we use digital X-rays, which emit significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays do. We also use protective equipment to minimize your exposure.
The frequency depends on your oral health needs and your risk factors. For most patients, bitewing X-rays are recommended once a year, while a full set might be taken every three to five years.
We use bitewing X-rays to detect decay between teeth and periapical X-rays to view the entire tooth from crown to root. Panoramic X-rays give a broad view of the mouth, and cone beam CT provides detailed 3D imaging of bone, nerve paths, and soft tissue.
The screening is a visual and tactile examination of your mouth, throat, and neck. Our highly trained Tustin dentist looks for abnormalities and feels for lumps or unusual textures.
Brush twice daily for two minutes with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash with fluoride. Limit sugary foods and drinks, and wear a mouthguard if you play sports.
The cost depends on whether X-rays are taken and which type of cleaning you need. Our team reviews the fee with you before your appointment so there are no surprises.
Most dental plans cover preventive exams and cleanings twice a year. Our front office will verify your benefits and explain exactly what your plan includes.
Taking proactive steps now protects both your smile and your health for years to come. Contact Smile Tustin by Dr. Ezzy today to schedule dental checkups in Tustin, CA, with X-rays and oral cancer screening.
