Cosmetic dentistry is one of the most popular areas of dentistry and it’s easy to understand why. As opposed to other dentistry services like restorative and preventive, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your smile rather than functionality. Everywhere you look there seem to be people with whiter and brighter smiles than ever before. Dental technology has advanced so much just over the last five years, and we want you to take advantage of these services.

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction also known as TMD occurs when the joint connecting your jaw (mandible) to the rest of your skull (temporal region) is strained or otherwise does not function correctly. TMJ disorder can be extremely painful, cause chronic headaches, earaches, hearing loss, inhibits speech and chewing, and can lead to numerous other medical concerns.

Common misconceptions are that this joint discomfort is untreatable, and that it is the same thing as lock jaw (an infection from the tetanus bacteria).

Our practice is dedicated to providing patients with outstanding preventive dental care, and that includes screenings for TMD at every six month checkup. 
A great smile can change the way other perceive you. A recent unemployment study showed that people with straight, white teeth were more likely to get a job, were often paid more than those with crooked, stained or missing teeth, and a great smile also helped people get promotions.

Have you ever heard of the temporomandibular joints? Well, even though they’re right by your ears, most people have never heard of them. These are the joints that sit on either side of your head just in front of your ears. These joints allow you to smoothly open and close your mouth. Unless they don’t.
