Experience a knowledgeable team dedicated to delivering comfortable and effective therapies.
Diagnostic imaging shows how the teeth, jaw, and muscles fit and function together. If an occlusion disorder is present and ignored, the progressive damage may be painful and debilitating.
Signs of a Jaw Disorder:
- A sore, stiff jaw
- Misaligned teeth
- Teeth that are worn, broken, or cracked
- Teeth that have become loose for no apparent reason
- A jaw that clicks or pops when chewing, yawning, or talking
- (Bruxism) or clenching when asleep or stressed
- Receding gum lines
Occlusal Treatment
Treatment of occlusal
will slow the damage and improve chewing. 80 to 85 % of patients find muscles will heal and adapt to the improved bite arrangement.
Excessive damage may require intrusive treatments to restore, protect and seal the tooth structure.
T-Scan Technology
The T-Scan Occlusal Analysis System will assess bite problems and provide precise information for an accurate treatment plan specific to your bite problem. Precise imaging shows where your teeth are touching, helping to ensure the bite with your new crowns, bridges, or implants is perfect.
EMG Technology
Electromyography (EMG) is a digital tool to evaluate the jaw muscles' strength, activity, and movement.
This quick, effective diagnostic tool helps us learn more about your bite and diagnose any underlying problems. EMG, in conjunction with the T-Scan technology, ensures more effective results.
Resolving bite issues is part of oral health care
Promptly addressing a misaligned bite can help prevent its harmful effects on your teeth, bones, and muscles.
