Everything we do here is non-surgical and non-invasive using advanced technology. For most patients, immediate relief is possible with a long-term treatment plan—custom designed to fit their unique needs. Many patients experience a positive difference after only one visit.
Some technology used in our office includes:
Cone beam (CBCT) – produces precise high definition images of the mouth and jaw to diagnose a misaligned jaw joint and airway obstructions. After the diagnosis, it is used to create a treatment plan and monitor the patient’s progress.
MLS Laser – a low level light therapy laser is used to reduce inflammation and control chronic pain while speeding up the healing process.
JVA (Joint Vibration Analysis) – provides analysis of TMJ function to aid in the diagnosis of a patient’s condition.
If you are suffering from symptoms of TMJ/TMD or sleep apnea, please let us know on your next visit to our office. We’ll listen carefully to you, and create a custom treatment plan that gets to the root of the issue.
