Flanagan Dental serves adults seeking complete, professional dental care in one trusted location. Many of our patients have extensive dental needs and value having every stage of treatment, from diagnosis to restoration, handled by an experienced dentist.

Comprehensive Evaluation

A Complete Understanding of Your Oral Health

Your appointment begins with a detailed review of your medical and dental history. Dr. Flanagan will discuss any symptoms and previous treatments before performing a full clinical dental evaluation.

If desired, a professional cleaning (prophylaxis) can be completed during the same visit. Periodontal probing is also done at this stage to evaluate gum health and spot any signs of periodontal disease.

Flanagan Dental is not a pediatric practice but can accommodate younger patients when appropriate. We offer advanced dental solutions that restore and maintain lasting oral health.

Advanced Diagnostics

Clear Insight With Modern Technology

Dr. Flanagan uses advanced imaging to guide accurate diagnosis and long-term planning. A full-mouth X-ray series, including bitewings, is typically completed unless recent images have been transferred from another provider. Full-mouth X-rays provide a baseline for comparison over time and help us track changes in your bone and tooth structure.

Digital X-rays offer:

  • Reduced radiation exposure
  • Clearer, instant images
  • A high-quality panoramic view

Cone beam imaging is also available to capture a three-dimensional view of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding bone when necessary. This technology supports accurate implant placement, assessment of complex cases, and early detection of hidden problems.

Discussion and Treatment Planning

Clarity and Communication at Every Step

After your dental evaluation, Dr. Flanagan will review your results, including periodontal readings and digital images. You’ll receive a clear explanation of your oral health, as well as any recommended treatments.

He will also discuss your overall health and long-term dental goals. Whether your focus is preventive maintenance, cosmetic improvement, or full rehabilitation, you’ll leave with a personalized plan.

A financial consultation is available to review treatment options and costs before moving forward.
