OUR UNIQUE PHILOSOPHY OF TREATMENT
A FOUR-STEP PROCESS
A beautiful smile will last many years if certain issues are addressed during treatment. Our unique philosophy of treatment involves a four-step process designed to assure the health and longevity of your smile.
#1 - The first area we evaluate is your TMJs (temporomandibular joints). Comfortable, stable TMJs and allowing relaxation of the associated muscles are critical in developing a stable bite. Muscle relaxation helps to reduce clenching and grinding of the teeth.
#2 - The second area we address is the relationship between the TMJs and the bite. The bite should be in sync with fully seated TMJs. Muscles of the jaw, head, and neck should act in a coordinated fashion and be relatively tension free for maximum comfort and stability.
#3 -The bone and gum tissues (the periodontium) comprise the third area we address. Healthy bone and gum are essential to provide stable, comfortable support of the teeth.
#4 - Finally, we address the teeth themselves, assuring that they demonstrate the beauty, comfort, and longevity we seek. In the event that restorations are needed, we will use materials that are durable and compatible with the oral environment.
In each of the above four areas we look for signs of instability or deterioration. The treatment we recommend to you is intended to develop stability which will result in a beautiful, comfortable and lasting dentition.
