• Root Canal Treatment
  Scans you would get in a hospital setting. But it’s a quantum leap forward in orthodontic technology and diagnostic precision. For the dentist, it offers the ability to visualize intricate structures inside the mouth, such as root canals, nerves and sinuses (air-filled spaces) in the jaw — in three dimensions — without surgery. For the patient, it can reduce the need for invasive procedures, shorten treatment time and offer the chance for a better outcome.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Detailed CBCT images are used to determine the optimum location for the titanium implants while avoiding nerves, sinuses and areas of low bone density.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  The second reason for an early exam is that many conditions are far easier to treat if they’re caught at an early stage, when children’s natural growth processes are in full swing. For example, a palatal expander appliance can effectively treat a child’s crossbite (a condition where the upper teeth close inside the lower ones) because a youngster’s jaw is still growing rapidly. However, if left untreated, oral surgery could later be required to correct this serious condition.
• Jaw Surgery
  Corrective jaw surgery (also called orthognathic surgery) may be recommended for orthodontic problems that are skeletal in nature — meaning the misalignment of the bite is caused not by the position of the teeth in the jaws, but rather by the size or position of the jaws themselves. Some examples include: an open bite, where the upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed; a protruding lower jaw, which makes the lower lip and chin appear too far forward; or a receding lower jaw, which makes the chin less prominent. Correcting these issues in an adult may involve surgically modifying one or both jaws. The goal of corrective jaw surgery is to improve basic oral functions such as chewing, swallowing, speaking and breathing, and to restore facial symmetry.
• Tooth Extractions
  The more gentle, “sliding-door technology” in the Damon System uses 500 to 600 times less force than traditional braces, which often require additional treatment through palatal expanders and tooth extractions. Treatment with the Damon System is customized based on several factors when first diagnosing your smile. Your orthodontist will factor in your facial structure, profile, and other factors to anticipate what your smile will look like into your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
