Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  The first step in treating TMJ is a professional diagnosis, which you can get by booking an appointment with your dentist. During the dental exam, your dentist will ask questions about your experience with TMJ, including your symptoms and the nature of the associated pain. There will also be a dental examination to check the surrounding muscles and joints in order to assess signs of TMJ, such as clicking or popping noises, tenderness, limited range of movement, and more.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Veneers are thin, customized tooth shells that fit over a tooth to disguise a specific issue. You may also hear veneers referred to as porcelain veneers since that is the primary material used to make them.
• Crowns
  Receiving a dental crown typically requires two appointments. At the first appointment, our dentist prepares your tooth by removing a small amount of enamel from it. This is necessary to make room for the new crown and to ensure that it stays bonded to your tooth once applied. Some patients also require filling material to build up parts of the tooth before our dentist can affix a crown.
• Bridges
  Our dentist may recommend placing a dental crown if you have a weak, broken, or severely decayed tooth for the purpose of preserving your natural tooth. If you ever need a root canal, you can expect to receive a dental crown to prevent further episodes of inflamed or infected pulp. Other uses for crowns include holding a dental bridge in place and covering a dental implant.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  The American Association of Endodontics defines a root canal as a procedure to remove infected or inflamed pulp from the inside of a tooth. The purpose of a root canal in is to save the natural tooth, prevent future infections, and remove harmful bacteria. Thanks to rapidly advancing dental technology, the root canal procedure is no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled or any other type of common dental process.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Botox is best known for treating TMJ and teeth grinding. Because both of these conditions are caused by overactivity in the mouth, Botox can relax the muscles to reduce or eliminate damage and discomfort. Dentists may also prescribe it to relax the lip muscles, which can lead to a better fit for patients who require dentures.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are the most recommended procedure in the dental industry if you have a missing tooth. Not only do they mimic your natural pearly whites, adding to the structural stability of your mouth, but they’re also typically more convenient and more comfortable for patients.
