Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Symptoms of “TMJ” can range from head and neck aches to popping and clicking when you open and close your mouth. Treatments can range from occlusal splints, night guards, bite adjustments and muscle-relaxing medications, depending on the nature and longevity of the problem. A thorough dental exam may reveal the cause of the symptoms. Often physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors and orthodontists are used in conjunction with our treatment plans. It is important to keep an open mind in treating the varied range of symptoms for this complex disorder.

Preventive

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Veneers can beautifully restore front teeth and smiles using porcelain or composite. Simple minimal prep veneers can cover discolored teeth and/or fill in small spaces. Traditional veneers with a modest preparation of the teeth can also provide a long lasting and beautiful result.
• Crowns
  Charlottesville Dental Health Partners embraces minimally invasive preparation techniques which preserve precious tooth structure and helps avoid the necessity for traditional crowns later in life.
