Smile Design

A great service a dentist can provide is showing their patients the possibility of changes with their smile and teeth, before any dental work is started. Making the improvements with the patient's own photos rather than someone else's "before and after" photos is a great advantage. Using the patient's digital photos, the patient's input, the computer software and his experience in isthetic reconstruction, the dentist can create changes in length, width, color, edge position, gum position and contour. The dentist can then aid the patient and guide them to a predictable final result.

TMJ

Women make up 90% of the patients seeking temporomandibular joint or TMJ treatment. They suffer from morning headaches and are often left to their own judgement as to who to seek out for treatment. Because the cause of headaches can be attributed to so many sources, it is important that the pertinent health professional is sought or the headaches can go on indefinitely.

People suffer from all types of headaches but when those headaches involve the temple region or the back of their neck, TMJ involvement should be considered. The TMJ or jaw joint is controlled and positioned by muscles in these areas. The smallest deviation in a patient's bite or a time change inside the joint itself can trigger these muscles into hyperactivity. A lot of this activity occurs during sleep and that is why sufferers wake up with the headaches.

Our office provides examination specifically for TMJ dysfunction. With the aid of MRIs, Dopplar, bite analysis and load testing, we can assist you in getting your TMJ back to a healthy state.

Implants

For years, missing teeth were replaced using bridges. Teeth on either side of the space were needed as anchors to support the bridge. This required the destruction of perfectly good tooth structure on two teeth in order to replace one. Bridges also create additional difficulties for the patient when it comes to hygiene. Flossing now requires special aids and as a result is usually omitted because of difficulty. This all changed with implants. Teeth on either side are left alone and the new tooth is completely supported by the implant. Flossing is completely natural and does not require any special aids.

Full Mouth Restoration

When a patient reaches a point where patching areas together that have been breaking down, just doesn't do it anymore, its time for a full-mouth restoration. Once the foundational aspects of the teeth are stabilized and healthy, all of the old dentistry is removed and replaced with the strongest and most esthetic restorations available.

Veneers

The best way to make a change in your appearance is through all porcelain veneers. Chips, cracks, spaces, discoloration, rotation and alignment can all be addressed with the placement of veneers. A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the front surface of the teeth. An impression of the teeth is then forwarded to the dental laboratory and porcelain veneers are fabricated. Any flaws that existed will now be masked furing the fabrication of the veneer by the laboratory technician, using the instructions given to him by the dentist and patient.

Bonding and Esthetic Recontouring

Sometimes the imperfections are small and do not warrant porcelain veneers. These cases can be dramatically improved with bonding and esthetic recontouring. After the gaps and chips are all fixed with tooth colored bonding material, the entire smile is evaluated and the edges are recontoured to give the teeth a straight and even youthful look, that is appropriate for the patients face and lips.
