Clinical Provider
Southampton, PA Licensed Dentist
A dental checkup is the appointment that keeps everything else from going wrong. At Hampton Family Dental — formerly Brenner Dental Group — every checkup in our Southampton, PA office pairs a thorough exam with low-radiation digital X-rays, so Dr. Brenner and Dr. Dudhat can catch decay, cracks, gum disease, and bite problems while they’re still small and easy to treat. Most dental plans cover routine checkups and X-rays at 100%, and new patients without insurance can start with our $149 Welcome Special.
What Happens During a Comprehensive Dental Exam?
A regular dental checkup is your primary line of defense. Dr. Brenner or Dr. Dudhat will evaluate your teeth, check existing restorations for leaks or wear, inspect your gums for signs of disease, and perform a screening of your jaw joint (TMJ). Digital X-rays are captured to inspect bone health, scan beneath your gums, and check for decay hiding between your teeth.

Your Treatment Process
We focus on comfort and absolute precision. Here is what happens during your comprehensive exam.
Digital X-Ray Diagnostic Scan
We capture high-definition digital X-rays, exposing you to up to 80% less radiation than traditional film scans.
Clinical Tooth Evaluation
Dr. Brenner or Dr. Dudhat inspects every tooth, checking for cavities, cracks, or wear, and evaluating existing fillings or crowns.
Gum & Bone Inspection
We evaluate your gum pocket depths and inspect diagnostic bone levels on the digital X-rays to screen for periodontal disease.
Consultation & Treatment Roadmap
We sit down to review your diagnostic scans, discuss findings, answer your questions, and map out a personalized treatment plan.
Types of Digital Dental X-Rays
Seeing What Visual Exams Miss
Digital X-rays let us see what a visual exam can’t — between teeth, below the gumline, and inside the bone. They use up to 80% less radiation than old film X-rays and appear on screen instantly, so we can review them with you right away. The type and frequency depend on your age, your dental history, and what we’re checking for.
| X-Ray Type | What It Shows | Typical Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Bite-wing | Decay between back teeth & bone level | About once a year |
| Periapical | The whole tooth, root, and surrounding bone | As needed for a specific tooth |
| Panoramic | All teeth, jaws, sinuses & joints in one image | Every 3–5 years |
| Full-mouth series | Detailed view of every tooth | Every 3–5 years / new patients |
Why Regular Checkups Matter
Most serious dental problems are painless at first. A small cavity, a hairline crack, early gum disease, or a suspicious spot during an oral cancer screening rarely hurts — which is exactly why six-month checkups matter. Catching these early means a quick, affordable fix with fillings instead of a root canal, an extraction, or a crown later on.
Regular exams also track changes over time. By comparing today’s X-rays and gum measurements to your past visits, we spot trends — bone loss, shifting teeth, worn restorations — before they become emergencies. For families, that means healthier smiles for everyone and fewer surprise dental bills. Learn more about our in-house membership plans to simplify scheduling.
Cost & Insurance Coverage
Diagnostic checkups and X-rays are almost always covered at 100% by dental insurance, with no deductibles or co-pays.
