Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry emphasizes a holistic approach to oral health we address the issues produced by poor jaw alignment, improperly positioned teeth, and lost tooth structure and we create naturally beautiful smiles that allow our patients to face the world with renewed confidence. By making available the best that dentistry has to offer we also help people keep their teeth for a lifetime. Working with you to discover how to most effectively meet your goals is our top priority.
The foundation for our brand of dentistry, neuromuscular dentistry (as coined by Bernard Jankelson), considers the dynamic physiological relationships of both the hard and soft tissues. It strives to produce a harmonious relationship between not only the teeth and joints, but also the muscles and nerves. With computerized mandibular scanning and simultaneous electromyography, we can objectively correlate your jaw's posture with muscle activity. This is important to you because it ensures that you are pain-free and that we've stopped the forces that wear teeth down, cause gums to recede, and can be destructive to the jaw joints.
Though the most important aspect of oral health is functionality, appearance of teeth can also affect how people feel about themselves and be indicative of potential trouble. Our work with aesthetic dentistry addresses both of these concerns. Through the use of Empress porcelain and the most advanced adhesives we can:
1) rejuvenate the mouth (i.e. rebuild lost tooth structure and clear out old fillings that harbor bacteria); and
2) create smile makeovers that immediately enhance people's looks and sense of well-being.
A Word About Insurance
Our commitment is to work with you to discover the most appropriate and affordable way to meet both your health and aesthetic goals while also providing you with an environment and dental relationship that supports optimal oral health. Though we are happy to process your insurance claims our observation is that insurance-driven care is based upon the least expensive, professionally accepted procedure and too often sells patients radically short. Our ideal patients are willing to invest in their own well-being and utilize insurance as a supplement for their care.
