When it comes to having a smile makeover, it is important for me to understand my patient’s idea of how they want to look. This is so I know my patient’s expectations and challenges, allowing us to create a beautiful outcome. #smilemakeover #veneers #cosmeticdentist

When it comes to diagnosing TMD, the T-scan is an amazing tool to have. It is a sensor that provides dynamic occlusal (bite) measurement, revealing the level, timing, and percentage of force on individual teeth. With this, we can begin to establish a healthy bite. #dentist

Temporo-Mandibular Disorder, or TMD, is more common then some may think, with research estimating that over half of the population experiences some form of the signs and symptoms of TMD. It is important to seek treatment as to stop symptoms such as chronic headaches. #dental

If Temporo-Mandibular Disorder, or TMD, is left untreated the symptoms may worsen, such as with chronic pain. This can make it more difficult to deal with later on, making it harder to treat. But treatment is out there and can help reduce and eliminate the symptoms. #dental

When it comes to dental crowns, remember that they do not mean you are resistant to cavities! Just because the porcelain of the crown will not decay, they are safe. Whilst the crown may be fine, your tooth structure at the gumline is still susceptible to decay. #dental

Finding the ideal jaw position is key to treating Temporo-Mandibular Disorder, which we do by using a Low Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), which stimulates the muscles neurally, allowing us to plan the treatment to eliminate the symptoms of TMD. #TMD

It can be difficult to put a "realistic" time frame when it comes to resolving the symptoms of TMJ/TMD. This is because there are different factors and multi-layered issues involved when it comes to resolving symptoms and signs of TMJ/TMD. #dentistry #TMJ

When it comes to TMD treatment, a healthy balance and position of the surrounding musculature, ligaments and joints is crucial for an optimal result. To ensure this we use advanced dental technology to accurately establish the ideal jaw position before we start treatment. #dental

Temporo-Mandibular Disorder (TMD) can cause chronic headaches, migraines and jaw pain, among other symptoms, and all too often it goes undiagnosed or simple solutions are used to try and cover up the problems, instead of addressing the root cause. #dental

The first phase of TMD treatment is the orthopedic alignment and stabilization of the upper and lower arches. This is achieved with a Removable Orthotic, which is a custom-designed anatomical appliance that is worn 24/7 prior to any restorative dentistry. #dental

One of the first steps of TMD treatment is establishing the healthy resting place for the jaw. Maintaining a “physiologic” resting state is key to staying in balance and free from pain, deterioration, strain, and many other symptoms that come with TMD.  #Dentist

Once a stable and healthy position for the jaw has been established, the second phase of TMD treatment can begin. This phase is focused on cosmetics and finalizing the teeth, joints, and muscles in the relationship established by the first stage of treatment. #TMD #dentistry

Did you know that patients with Temporo-Mandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ or TMD) have a higher prevalence of tinnitus than to others of age-matched control groups?  If you suffer from symptoms of TMD and are looking for a solution, call us today to book a consultation. #dental

For some Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) patients, they may have existing crowns or fillings. This means a comprehensive full mouth restorative approach should be considered. This approach may seem extensive, but results in excellent appearance of the teeth and smile. #dentist

Tinnitus is spontaneous, internally generated noise, which is often referred to as “ringing in ear". It has been reported that TMD therapy improves tinnitus in up to 96% of patients who have TMD and co-existing tinnitus. #TMD #tinnitus

Finding a healthy resting position for the jaw is one of the first steps of treating TMD. A healthy jaw is free of signs and symptoms of TMD, and functions easily while being able to ‘rest’ and recover, helping the patient get back to smiling again! #dental #TMD

With TMD treatment, each case is different and this means that the time it takes can vary from patient to patient. Generally, the TMD patients who follow our treatment protocols respond quickly and experience symptom resolution or improvement. #dentalcare #TMD

The majority of TMD problems are related to the facial muscles being over-active. These muscles produce acute and chronic pain problems which can contribute to jaw pain, headaches, migraines and over time lead to depression, anxiousness and many other chronic issues. #Dentist
