Do you experience persistent pain in your face, neck, or head? Are constant, excessive headaches and stiffness in the jaw common staples of your life? You may be suffering from TMJ disorder, a painful and even debilitating condition that is caused by a muscle spasm, inflammation, or a misalignment of your temporomandibular joints, which connect your lower jaw to your skull. We can provide much-needed relief for this condition. We’ll give you a complete oral examination and precise bite assessment so that we can confirm the circumstances of your unique case. Then, we’ll discuss your available options for TMJ therapy. These could include a customized oral appliance, physical therapy, or other treatments proven to stop pain and improve oral function.
Sleep apnea is a disorder where a person temporarily stops breathing multiple times throughout the night, drastically lowering their sleep quality. This can lead to chronic exhaustion and loud snoring that disturbs bed partners, but thankfully, our dental office can offer a reliable solution that will literally fit in your pocket. We can give a tired patient a custom-made mouthguard that will help them breathe better while sleeping, plus it will make them stop snoring, ensuring everyone enjoys quality rest night after night.

Our entire team works very hard to create an excellent patient care experience. We are very skilled at administering local anesthesia and can provide nitrous oxide and/or pre-medication to reduce anxiety so that you feel more relaxed during your visits. Our goal is that you do not experience any discomfort during your procedures, and we take great pride in achieving this.
Our intraoral cameras make routine exams anything but routine, as they allow us to capture high-definition images of your entire oral cavity and display them on a monitor right in the treatment room. This helps our team easily find the initial signs of potential problems so we can take care of them right away, plus you’ll instantly gain a deeper understanding of your oral health and dental needs, taking some of the mystery (and anxiety!) out of your care.
We use X-rays every single day in our dental office to look at the teeth and jawbone hidden beneath the gum line, and to make this part of our diagnostic process as effective as possible, we’ve gone fully digital. Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays create sharper images, take much less time to do so, and they even emit 90% less radiation as well. Plus, we can quickly show a patient their own X-rays so they can stay fully informed about what is going on with their smile.
