What Are Dental Exams in Torrance, CA?

A dental exam is a routine visit where our dentist checks your teeth, gums, and mouth to catch hidden problems early. You probably realize how important regular dental check-ups are for maintaining a healthy smile, but do you know why? These visits clean your teeth and help catch issues like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer early on, when treatment is easier and bigger problems can be prevented down the line.

The Benefits of Dental Exams in Torrance, CA

Early Detection

Routine exams catch cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer early, when treatment is simpler and bigger problems are easier to prevent.

Cleaner Smile

A thorough professional cleaning removes the plaque and tartar buildup that everyday brushing and flossing at home simply cannot reach.

Better Health

Improving your oral health supports your whole body, since gum disease is closely linked to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Lasting Savings

Catching issues early keeps small, manageable problems from turning into costly treatments and stressful dental emergencies later on.

Our Dental Exam Process

At Torrance Dental Spa, our aim is to make your dental examination comfortable and informative, from the moment you arrive to the plan you leave with.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    History Review

    We begin by discussing your dental and medical history, current medications, and any concerns or goals you have for your smile.

  2. 02

    Complete Cleaning

    Our hygienist gently removes the plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing at home cannot reach.

  3. 03

    Full Exam

    Our dentist examines your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay, disease, or other issues affecting your oral health.

  4. 04

    Digital X-Rays

    When needed, we take digital X-rays to reveal hidden problems in your teeth and jawbone that are not visible to the eye alone.

  5. 05

    Treatment Plan

    Our dentist reviews your results, explains any recommended treatment, and shares tips for caring for your smile at home.

Signs You May Need a Dental Exam

Regular exams are for everyone, though a few warning signs mean it is time to book a visit sooner.

  • Overdue Checkup — It has been more than six months since your last visit, so hidden issues may be quietly developing without any symptoms yet.

  • Bleeding Gums — Gums that bleed, swell, or feel tender can signal early gum disease, which is easiest to treat when caught right away.

  • Mouth Sores — Sores that do not heal, unusual lumps, or color changes should be screened, since early oral cancer is highly treatable.

  • Jaw Discomfort — Jaw pain, clicking, or worn-down teeth may point to TMJ trouble or grinding that our dentist can assess and help manage.

  • Had an appointment here recently to after 2 years of not going to the dentist. Joel got to work immediately and had x-rays done and did some measurements for my gums. He went over my x-rays and told me exactly what needed to be done. Dr. Maral went over my treatment plan and I felt comfortable with her. My teeth and gums are in bad shape but I have hope that they can save my teeth! The office was nice and clean and the staff were all so friendly. This will be my go to from now on!

  • I’ve been coming to this location most of my life. I was worried when the Dentist switched, but Dr. Maral has been wonderful!! The techs, like Joel, are just as good as they’ve always been too! The cleanings/xrays are quick, easy, and painless. I highly recommend this place, especially if you haven’t found somewhere that can offer a comfortable dental experience.

  • This dental practice & its staff are elite.Receptionist, dental assistant & dentist were all very friendly and pleasant. Dentist has great chair side manners.I showed up on my appointment time, was greeted promptly, was seen within minutes, and Dr. Aghdam explained the state of my teeth & told me what she was doing every step of my deep cleaning, which I appreciated. I didn’t feel rushed at all, nor did I feel like the visit took too long, and this was the most pleasant (as can be, it is a dental cleaning after all) deep cleaning I’ve had. Plus, teeth look fantastic after cleaning.Dr. Aghdam has very nimble hands, which I appreciated. She was quick and thorough; I appreciated her explaining what she was doing every step of the way & how thorough she was - I saw her referring back to my xray photos to see if she had gotten everything she needed.Facility is clean, business is very easy to find, and parking lot has ample spots so you can park easily without having to struggle for parking.I just moved to the area but this will be my dental office / dentist going forward and I highly recommend this practice.

  • Had a great experience here! Came in for a new patient exam, cleaning, polish, and whitening session, and everything was amazing. Priscilla was so kind, Janine was very welcoming, and Dr. Maral was very nice. Such a friendly office and I’m really happy with my visit! Coming back soon for Invisalign.

  • Dr Ranjbar took over my dentists practice when he retired. I am a nervous patient and was very apprehensive. I must say, she has done great.Since going to her. She has re glued a crown and have had 2 cleanings.Most importantly, there are some teeth that need some work. I went in today to get that done. There was an issue with the current crown that the tooth may not survive the removal. After a bit of discussion, we decided to wait since there wasn’t pain or an emergency.I know it may need to be gone in the future but wasn’t prepared to lose a tooth that wasn’t bothering me. She saw the problem, did t try to pressure me, and assured me we’d deal with it when the time came.As a nervous patient, she went a long way to earn my trust. If you are looking for a good, trustworthy dentist, I’d give her a try.

  • I've been a patient of Dr. Maral's before, but after I lost my dental insurance, I stopped coming because I assumed I wouldn't be able to afford treatment. Like so many people, I figured I'd have to wait until I had insurance again. Eventually, I decided to call the office just to see what my options were, and I'm so glad I did because I couldn't have been more wrong.From the moment I spoke with the team, they were incredibly understanding and never made me feel embarrassed about not having insurance. They walked me through the costs, explained everything clearly, and let me know they offer payment plans, which made a huge difference for me. Being able to split the cost into manageable payments took away so much of the stress. Instead of putting my dental health on hold again, I was finally able to get the care I needed without feeling overwhelmed financially.When I came in, everyone remembered me and welcomed me back like family. The office is just as beautiful, modern, and spotless as I remembered. It's one of the cleanest dental offices I've ever been to, and the atmosphere is relaxing instead of intimidating.Dr. Maral is truly one of the most compassionate dentists I've ever met. She never makes you feel judged, no matter how long it's been since your last visit. She took the time to examine everything carefully, explained my treatment in a way I could understand, and answered every question I had. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and wants what's best for them, not just the treatment itself but making sure they're comfortable with the entire process.The assistants were just as amazing. They were kind, patient, and constantly checked to make sure I was comfortable. Everyone in the office works together so well, and you can tell they actually enjoy what they do. It makes the whole experience so much less stressful.What impressed me the most was how honest and transparent they were about pricing. There were no surprise fees, no pressure, and no sales pitch. They gave me different treatment options, explained the payment plans available, and helped me find something that fit my budget. That's something you don't see very often anymore, and it earned my trust immediately.I left feeling relieved—not just because I finally got the dental care I needed, but because I realized I didn't have to choose between taking care of my teeth and paying my bills. If you've been avoiding the dentist because you don't have insurance or you're worried about the cost, don't assume you can't afford it. Call Dr. Maral's office first. They truly care about their patients and will work with you to find a solution.I honestly can't recommend Dr. Maral and her team enough. Outstanding care, honest pricing, flexible payment plans, an incredible staff, and a dentist who truly puts her patients first. They've earned my trust, and I'll be coming back for years to come. Five stars without a doubt.

  • I've been to several dentists over the years, and I can honestly say that Dr. Maral is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced dentists I've ever met. From my very first appointment, it was obvious that she knows exactly what she's doing. She has a level of confidence and professionalism that immediately puts you at ease.What impressed me the most was how thoroughly she explained everything. Instead of simply telling me what treatment I needed, she took the time to show me what was going on, explain why it was happening, and walk me through all of my options. She answered every question I had with patience and never made me feel like I was asking too much. You can tell she truly understands dentistry and enjoys educating her patients.Her attention to detail is incredible. She doesn't rush through appointments or overlook the small things. She carefully examines everything and makes recommendations based on what's actually best for your long-term dental health. I never once felt like I was being pressured into unnecessary treatment. I felt like I was receiving honest advice from someone who genuinely cares about her patients.Dr. Maral also has an incredibly gentle touch. Even though she's clearly highly skilled, she combines that expertise with kindness and compassion. She constantly checked to make sure I was comfortable, explained each step of the procedure, and made the entire experience surprisingly relaxing.The office reflects the same high standard that she sets. It's modern, spotless, and equipped with advanced technology that gives you confidence you're receiving the best care possible. Her staff is just as professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, making every visit smooth from beginning to end.It's rare to find a dentist who is not only technically excellent but also genuinely compassionate. Dr. Maral has earned my complete trust because she consistently delivers outstanding work while making her patients feel comfortable and cared for. I walked out of my appointment knowing I had received exceptional treatment from someone who is truly an expert in her field.If you're looking for a dentist who is experienced, intelligent, honest, and genuinely dedicated to providing the highest quality care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Maral.

How often should I get a dental exam?

Most patients should have a dental exam every six months. However, our dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your individual oral health needs.

What is included in a comprehensive dental exam?

A comprehensive exam includes a health history review, dental charting, updated X-rays, an oral cancer screening, and a check of your bite and TMJ function. Our dentist then reviews the findings with you and discusses any recommended treatment or referrals.

How much does a dental exam cost?

The fee for dental exams in Torrance, CA, varies depending on the type of oral exam you need. A modest exam fee can save you money later by catching issues early, and we invite you to ask about our current special offers.

Does insurance cover dental exams?

Why do dental exams matter for my overall health?
