Smile Makeover
Smile Design is a conservative, non-aggressive way to rejuvenate your smile. Veneers work well for tooth reshaping and resizing. Veneers are an attractive way to improve your smile because they achieve a very natural look with a very conservative tooth preparation (shaping). Very little natural tooth structure is removed when veneers are bonded into place and the virgin strength of the tooth is recaptured as well. We have found that this is the treatment of choice for smile enhancement if more than whitening is needed.
Full Mouth Restoration
Full mouth restoration involves restoring the teeth, bite, muscles and self-esteem back to a natural looking and youthful feeling condition. Using computerized technology and an artistic eye, full mouth restoration may be the answer to many problems, such as broken-down restorations, heat-sensitive teeth, sore jaw muscles, and recurring headaches.
Neuromuscular Dentistry
Neuromuscular dentistry is the art and science of using the relaxed position of the muscles of the head and neck to place the jaw into an optimal physiologic position. Thirty years of research and clinical experience have shown this technique effective in treating patients with various levels of head and neck pain. It is also used in finding the optimal jaw position before restorative dentistry, and greatly increases the longevity of restorations and natural dentition.The underlying conditions that cause these signs and symptoms are structural, biochemical and emotional. Underlying structural problems are most always present and these lead to over activation of the jaw, head and neck muscles. Over a period of time structural problems can lead to pain, tension, and spasms.
Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening or bleaching is one of the most popular areas of cosmetic dentistry. Even subtle changes in shading can make someone look years younger. Several factors can contribute to the darkening of teeth, including the effects of age, certain foods and drinks, smoking, and medications.
Cerec/Crowns
Cerec offers spectacular results with less drilling and less Novocain!
Cerec makes it possible to replace old unsightly silver fillings with beautiful tooth colored restorations, blended perfectly to match your natural teeth.
After conventional preparation, your tooth will be coated with a reflective powder. CEREC uses a state-of-the-art digital 3D camera to get accurate measurements for a digital impression. That means you don't have to wait while a tray of impression goop hardens in your mouth. A precisely shaped impression is then diamond-cut out of ceramic material and bonded to your tooth.
With Cerec technology we can create the most lifelike Crowns, fillings and Veneers in as little as one visit.
Dental Implants
Implants completely simulate a natural tooth. Implants involve a surgical procedure that replaces missing teeth. A titanium cylinder secured in the bone functions as the root of your tooth. Then a crown attached to the titanium cylinder gives the appearance of a natural tooth.
TMJ Diseases/Disorders:
TMJ diseases and disorders refer to a complex and poorly understood set of conditions. These conditions are manifested by pain the area of the jaw and associated muscles along with limitations in the ability to make the normal movements of speech, facial expression, eating, chewing, and swallowing. Conditions that routinely affect other joints in the body, such as arthritis and trauma, also affect the TM joint.
If you suffer from:
- Headaches
- Unexplained loose teeth
- Worn, chipping or cracked teeth
- Cracking, chipping or breaking dental restorations
- Pain or soreness around the jaw joints
- Pain in teeth that seems to move around
- Neck, shoulder or back pain
- Facial pain
- Clicking or grating sounds in the jaw joints
- Limited movement or locking jaw
- Numbness in your fingers and arms
- Congestion or stuffiness of the ears
Then we may be able to help you!
The underlying conditions that cause these signs and symptoms are structural, biochemical and emotional. Structural problems are most commonly present with TMJ conditions, and can lead to over activation of the jaw, head and neck muscles. Over time, this over activation can lead to pain, tension and spasms.
Tempromandibular joint disorder (TMD), Myofascial Pain Dysfunction (MPD) or tempromandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), is a chronic illness that affects 40 million people at any one time. Many people have no pain but still have occlusal disease (misaligned bite). Worn, chipped or broken teeth, broken fillings, and changing position or shape of the smile are all indications of conditions that can benefit from treatment.
To correct TMD or misaligned bite, the jaw is placed back into a muscularly balanced position using sophisticated computer analysis. An individualized and precise treatment plan using data from this analysis is formulated that will lead to improvement and/or elimination of pain in most cases. As it is a chronic degenerative disease, it often takes years to develop TMD. With new techniques and the objective computerized data, we have been able to help many people that have been previously unable to find relief.
