With the increasing computerization of dental treatment, many procedures can be thoroughly planned and precisely accomplished instead of the old way of relying on guesswork. We can now provide our patients with the best service possible by using a CAT scan to precisely place implants, and to diagnose and treat TMJ dysfunction, headaches, and neck pain.


The scan imagery shows us exactly how each patient’s facial and jaw bones look, how they’re shaped and how they’re interacting with other bones. This highly detailed information allows us to take dentistry to the next level by allowing us to place implants accurately within a tenth of a millimeter.
 

For TMJ patients, scans allow us to examine the joints in three dimensions to look for small changes in the bones that indicate initial signs of deterioration. From the changes we can see, treatment is determined. If the joints look ragged and spurred, we know that the bones are being reshaped by abnormal stress. Using neuromuscular techniques, we can make a custom orthotic that positions the jaw to feel and work better. Using our precise instrumentation, we can provide unparalleled care to treat you with effective solutions for many jaw related issues.
