Dan

For years I have had headaches on a daily basis and pain in my neck and shoulders. I knew the headaches were related to my jaw, but previous splint therapy had not worked for me. I had gone for message therapy, chiropractor appointments, and acupuncture. These relieved my pain but only temporarily.

The orthotic that was made relieved my symptoms by the next morning! I was amazed – even my neck and shoulder pain was gone. I didn’t even know that was related to my jaw. I’ve gone from daily headaches to none!

From simple fillings to full crowns to veneers, CEREC delivers the results you need in a single appointment.

With modern technologies of dental adhesion, resins, lasers and state of the art ceramics, the new porcelain restorations surpass traditional dentistry.

With the new materials, it is possible to bond teeth together, virtually restoring them back to their original strength without the invasiveness of full-coverage crowns.

In the majority or circumstances, metal restorations can be replaced with techniques that are more conservative.

The images captured can be stored in your chart for comparison to future readings. As early detection is the key, we recommend starting annual oral cancer scans soon.

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 physiological position. Many people do not realize that muscles play an important role in dentistry.

Neuromuscular dentistry evaluates and treats your overall oral health considering how your muscles, teeth and joints work together.

When a person’s muscles, teeth and joints are not working together properly, they can experience headaches, facial pain, ringing in the ears, shoulder pain, neck and back pain, numbness in the arms and fingers, and other unpleasant symptoms.

Thirty years of research and clinical experience has shown a neuromuscular dentistry to be effective in treating patients with these symptoms.

FAQ's

Question: I don't want anybody to know that I have had my smile done. Will this look natural?

Answer: While every case is unique, we use special techniques to create the most natural smile possible. A style for your smile will be determined, taking into account your lifestyle, facial proportions, gender, age, complexion, hair and even eye color. Most often patients hear questions like; "Have you changed your hairstyle?" , or "Have you lost weight?". Their friends know that something is different - they just don't know what.

Question: How quickly will I be able to complete my treatment?

Answer: Most aesthetic procedures, can be completed in as little as one to three visits.

Question: How will my temporaries look?

Answer: Often the differnce is so dramatic that you will feel as though your new smile is already complete. However, temporaries are just that - temporary. They are not meant to replace natural teeth, and is left in too long, will stain and are susceptible to breakage. It is important for you to come to the final restoration appointment.

Question: How long will my new smile last?

Answer: Today's materials are actually stronger than natural teeth, and are far more resisitant to wearing and breakage than your natural teeth. With regular checkups and care, your smile should last for many, many years.

Question: How will a new smile change my life?

Answer: It is not uncommon for patients to cry with joy. Patients tell us they are filled with selfconfidence, they feel more outgoing, and they simply cannot stop smiling.

Question: Will my insurance pay for these procedures?

Answer: Unfortunately, most dental insurance have a maximum annual benefit. Since insurance companies are in business to make money, they allow only the least expensive possible treatment - not necessarily the treatment that is optimal for your dental health. Most cosmetic treatment is considered elective and not covered by insurance. We will do everything possible to maximize our insurance benfit but be prepared to pay for the treatment with alternative finances.
