Dental exam and X-rays Downtown Los Angeles. Dr. Kevin Chin at City of Angels Dentistry provides comprehensive dental exams with digital X-rays for new and returning patients — same-week appointments available.
Patients who come in for an exam at City of Angels Dentistry are sometimes nervous about what Dr. Chin is going to find — especially if it's been a while. His approach to that is simple: whatever is there, it's better to know now. Dr. Kevin Chin has been providing comprehensive dental exams in Downtown Los Angeles since 2018, and he explains everything he finds in plain language — what it means, what the options are, and what happens if treatment is delayed. No vague recommendations, no pressure.
A full set of digital X-rays captures what's happening inside the teeth, between them, and along the bone. Digital X-rays deliver a fraction of the radiation of traditional film and provide immediate images.
Dr. Chin examines each tooth for decay, cracks, and structural issues. He evaluates gum health, checks the bite, and performs an oral cancer screening as part of the standard exam.
Dr. Chin reviews everything he found, explains it in plain language, and gives you a prioritized plan. What needs attention now, what can be monitored, and what's in good shape.
A dental exam with X-rays is the most efficient way to get a complete picture of your oral health — and to catch the issues that cost the most when they're allowed to progress. At City of Angels Dentistry in Downtown LA, new patient exam appointments are available same week.
A comprehensive dental exam at City of Angels Dentistry includes a full clinical evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and oral tissues, combined with digital X-rays that provide a complete picture of what's happening inside and between your teeth.

The exam covers tooth-by-tooth assessment for decay, cracks, and failing restorations; gum health evaluation including probing depths; bite and jaw joint assessment; oral cancer screening; and review of all X-ray findings. Dr. Chin explains everything he observes and gives patients a clear, prioritized plan for any issues that need attention.
Digital X-rays use a sensor instead of traditional film and deliver significantly less radiation — typically 80–90% less than conventional film X-rays. Images are available immediately on screen for Dr. Chin to review with you. Digital X-rays can also be magnified and adjusted for clearer assessment of specific areas.
Most patients benefit from an exam every six months, typically combined with a cleaning. Patients with active dental issues, a history of gum disease, or higher decay risk may need to be seen more frequently. Dr. Chin recommends the appropriate schedule based on your individual situation.
