General Practice-Orthodontics

Orthodontics today goes beyond just "straightening teeth when all the permanent ones come in." We are also concerned with the growth of the face, early correction, and a health jaw joint.

Children who exhibit crooked teeth, "bucked teeth", a receding jaw or other facial and alignment abnormalities can be seen as early as 6 years old. When the permanent 4 front teeth have erupted, time becomes of the essence.

Early treatment allows us to not only correct the crooked teeth, but influence the growth of the jaw for better facial appearance.

Today's orthodontic techniques mean fewer extractions and a more satisfactory face and smile.

Adults in their 70's may still be good candidates for orthodontic correction and cosmetic enhancements. It is probably never too late.

Complex Reconstruction

Complex Reconstruction is just that - rebuilding a broken down mouth to its original condition or better. It may be a result of an accident or just general breakdown of the entire mouth.

As our teeth become older, many patients have had extractions due to abscesses, fractures and decay. Older fillings may be discolored and unsightly. Stains, darkening, and misalignments are often symptoms leading to the complaint that "I just don't like my teeth."

Teeth can be returned to their original condition or better using fixed bridges (you can not take them out), implant prosthetics, veneers, tooth-colored inlays and crowns. After a full mouth reconstruction, the mouth can be as perfect in appearance and function, as you like.

Combined with state-of-the-art techniques and regular check ups afterwards, your smile can better than ever.

TMJ (TMD) Treatment

Temporomandibular Joint Symptoms radiate from the jaw joint and is often caused by misalignment of the teeth or a poor bite relationship.

Symptoms include:

• Headaches, especially when awakening
• Awareness of night time grinding
• Sore jaw muscles
• Neck & Should pain
• Tired jaws after eating tough foods or after laughing
• Inability to open wide
• Clicking
• Locked jaw at times
• Pain behind the eyes
• Always taking Tylenol or other pain killers to get through the day
• Depression
• Discomfort that interferes with daily life.

These symptoms are often related to a jaw injured during sports or an accident. At other times, there seem to be no good reasons.

Missing teeth for a long period of time leading to a poor bite also put additional strain on the jaw joint and muscles. Misaligned teeth, deep bites or teeth slanting backwards may be considered culprits.

Treatment usually involves correcting the pain condition with bite splints (almost invisible), bite adjustments and sometimes orthodontics.

If there are missing teeth, it is imperative that the teeth be replaced to maintain the health jaw.

Can all patients be corrected? The answer is 'no', but most patients can see a major difference and a change in their lives free from major TMJ discomfort.

Cosmetic Reconstruction

Dentistry today can offer you a new natural look with the use of highly aesthetic materials. Enamel shades a available in fillings, crowns, and veneers.

Teeth that are discolored with older silver fillings, age, and tobacco or are crooked can be returned to a "better-than-original" look.

Whether it is a complete cosmetic reconstruction of your mouth or simply a desire to have tooth colored fillings that are invisible, the new materials are here now.

Whitening your teeth is one of the most popular and inexpensive treatments for dark, stained, or discolored teeth. Even though not all teeth bleach with the same result, the results are usually spectacular.

Implant Prosthetics

When a single tooth is removed or all of them are gone, it is often possible to replace the tooth (teeth) with an implant.

An implant is a small titanium root that is placed where the tooth was extracted. After the surgeon places the new implant, teeth or fixed bridges ma be placed within 4-6 weeks.

Frequent successes include single tooth replacement, multiple tooth replacement or precision connectors for those who wear dentures that no longer stay in.

Implants are very successful, will not decay and seldom have periodontal conditions develop.

This is a definite "YES" for those who want the best.
