Our goal is to make the delivery of comprehensive esthetic dental care as comfortable as possible for our patients. For those patients with anxiety/fear or those requiring long dental appointments, we offer Oral Conscious Sedation. This allows our patients to be very comfortable during dental procedures while not being able to remember much of the procedure afterwards.. What is “Neuromuscular Dentistry”?
The function of the jaw is controlled by three major components associated with dentistry and several that are not. The three associated with dentistry are the teeth,the muscles,and the joint (TMJ). Examples of components not associated with dentistry are the posture,airway,neural,and skeletal problems. Neuromuscular dentist seek to establish a position for the bite so that the teeth,muscles,and joint work together in harmony. We often utilize the assistance of others in the medical and dental fields for further evaluation and treatment. We may include an orthodontist,oral surgeon,ent specialist,neurologist,physical therapist and chiropractor in a team approach to helping our patients. Particular attention is paid to the airway (tonsils and adenoids),posture of the head and neck,posture of the tongue.
