Our Specialized Dental Services
Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety shouldn’t prevent you from receiving necessary care. We offer various sedation options to help anxious patients relax during treatment. From nitrous oxide for mild anxiety to oral sedation for more significant concerns, our sedation methods are safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a comfortable dental experience for even the most nervous patients.
Botulinum Toxin Injection
We offer therapeutic botulinum toxin injections as an effective treatment for TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, and associated headaches. These targeted treatments relax overactive jaw muscles, decrease pain, and reduce damage caused by grinding. Administered by our skilled team with precision, these injections provide non-surgical relief for patients suffering from chronic jaw-related discomfort.
Neuromuscular Dentistry
Our neuromuscular approach addresses the relationship between your jaw muscles, joints, and teeth. This care helps resolve chronic pain, bite alignment issues through evaluation and treatment. Using technology to assess jaw movement patterns, we develop solutions that restore proper function and comfort for patients who haven’t found relief with treatments previously.
Frequently Asked Questions About Specialized Dental Care
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by our trained professionals. Before recommending any sedation option, we review your medical history and current medications to ensure it’s appropriate for you. Throughout your procedure, we continuously monitor your vital signs for your safety and comfort. Most patients experience no adverse effects and are amazed at how relaxed they felt during treatment.
How do I know if I have TMJ disorder?
Common symptoms include jaw pain or tenderness, pain around the ear, difficulty or discomfort while chewing, facial pain, clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing your mouth, and jaw locking. If you experience these symptoms, we recommend scheduling an evaluation. Our comprehensive assessment can determine if TMJ disorder is the cause of your discomfort and identify the most effective treatment approach.
How long does botulinum toxin treatment for TMJ last?
The therapeutic effects of botulinum toxin injections for TMJ typically last 3-4 months. Many patients experience significant relief from symptoms during this period. For long-term management, treatments can be repeated as needed. Some patients find that after several treatment cycles, they require less frequent injections as their muscles adapt and symptoms diminish.
Can neuromuscular dentistry help with chronic headaches?
Yes, many patients with chronic headaches find relief through neuromuscular dentistry, especially when the headaches are related to jaw misalignment or muscle tension. By addressing the underlying dental-related causes of muscle strain and improper bite, neuromuscular treatments can significantly reduce headache frequency and intensity. During your consultation, we can evaluate whether your headaches might be connected to dental issues that our specialized care can address.
