Neuromuscular
Dentistry
When
the teeth and jaw are out of alignment, muscles
in the neck and shoulders try to compensate, causing
pain and headaches that can't be relieved until
the jaws are realigned.
Symptoms of a bad bite and jaw misalignment include
frequent head, neck, back or shoulder aches, abnormal
tooth wear, snoring and pain in and around the
jaw and TMJ area. You may also suffer from earaches
and ear "stuffiness", ringing in the
ears and may hear clicking and popping sounds
when you chew. Some patients experience dizziness,
difficulty swallowing and even chronic fatigue.
It
is estimated that 40 to 50 million Americans
suffer from these symptoms although most do
not relate them to jaw misalignment. Thanks
to the field of Neuromuscular Dentistry, you
may no longer have to endure unnecessary pain
suffering due to a "bad bite" (malocclusion).
Neuromuscular
Dentistry addresses the muscles that control
the jaw position, swallowing and chewing. Founded
on the belief of a healthy smile begins with
a healthy bite (occlusion), neuromuscular dentistry
strives to reposition the jaw to its optimal
physiological position thus relieving the symptoms.
Proper diagnosis is critical to make sure you
receive the best treatment for your particular
condition. Dr. Frazar may recommend treatment
after conducting a thorough health history,
a clinical exam and other diagnostic tests.
Only minor corrective treatment may be needed,
but orthodontics (braces) or full-mouth reconstructive
may be required.
When
optimal correction is achieved, patients can
experience benefits ranging from decreased pain
and discomfort to better overall health and
longer-lasting dental restorations. Many patients
enjoy another fringe benefit of neuromuscular
dentistry - a -more well-rested, revitalized
person can have the facial appearance of being
10 years younger! |

TMJ
/ TMD Diagnosis & Treatment
TMJ
/ TMD Diagnosis
Neuromuscular Dentists can realign your
bite and resolve your TMJ / TMD symptoms.Neuromuscular
dentists use state-of-the-art
technology to determine if your symptoms
are caused by malocclusion and if so,
what your optimal jaw position is. The
dentist uses computerized jaw tracking
instruments to record jaw movement, resting
position, and path of closure. Electromyography
is used to measure your jaw’s muscle
function in both its stressed and relaxed
positions, and will also measure the jaw-to-skull
relationship to see if there is a structural
imbalance. Sonography
is used to record jaw joint sounds to
detect any abnormalities. Additionally,
x-rays of the jaw may be taken to help
evaluate the condition and positioning
of the joint.

TMJ
/ TMD Treatment
Once your neuromuscular dentist has diagnosed
you with TMJ, he or she can determine
the best course of treatment for your
specific needs. Typically treatment will
follow three steps:
1. Relieve
muscle spasm and pain.
The immediate concern for neuromuscular
dentists is to provide relief of your
symptoms. The best way to do this is by
using a technology called ULF-TENS. ULF-TENS
stands for Ultra Low Frequency Transcutaneous
Electrical Neural Stimulation, but don’t
let this term intimidate you. Basically,
ULF-TENS is a way to relax muscles with
a gentle massage of the muscles. The rhythmic
pulsing relaxes the muscles by increasing
blood flow and pumping out waste products.
ULF-TENS also helps with pain relief by
stimulating the body’s production
of endorphins, the body’s natural
anesthetic.
2. Stabilize
the bite.
Often for this step a temporary device,
known as an orthotic is worn over the
teeth. The orthotic allows your neuromuscular
dentist to make easy adjustments to the
plastic without adjusting the teeth until
the bite is stabilized. Once symptoms
are relieved and the bite has been stabilized,
your dentist will move on to the next
step and permanently adjust your bite
to the correct position.
3. Long-term
management.
There are a variety of ways to correct
your bite in a more permanent way. Four
of the most common of these approaches
are outlined below:
* Coronoplasty/Equilibration
Coronoplasty is smoothing and reshaping
the enamel of the teeth to correct your
bite. It is a simple procedure that does
not require anesthesia and can be used
when the bite is only slightly misaligned.
* Removable Overlay Partials
These are permanent orthotics that usually
fit over the back teeth and are designed
to maintain an aligned bite.
* Reconstruction
This approach involves making the teeth
higher by using crowns. This permanently
realigns the bite and provides structural
support for the jaw.
* Orthodontics (Braces)
When the teeth are healthy they may be
moved to the optimal position using braces.

Dental
Implants
& Mini-Dental Implants [
for confident living ]
| Dental
Implants are the solution to replace missing
teeth, single or multiple, without the need
to grind healthy teeth down for bridgework.
Implants also securely fix dentures to the
bone, stopping sliding and shifting of dentures,
providing ultimate comfort and preventing
pain due to exposed nerves and gum irritation.
Implants
are inserted into the jawbone, taking
the root's place of your missing tooth.
This prevents recession of your jawline
because of bone shrinkage provoked by
the missing teeth.
After
the dental implant is attached with the
surrounding bone a replacement tooth is
firmly placed at the top of it. This tooth
is made of high quality porcelain, carefully
elaborated in the lab to produce exact
color match and anatomy of your other
tooth making it look and feel natural
Enjoy
all your favorite food with confidence,
talk and laugh without insecurities…

How can Dental implants
help denture wearers?
The
standard insertion protocol for Dental
Implants calls for four of them to be
gently screwed into the front of the patient
lower jaw.
This is a relatively painless procedure
requiring only mild anesthesia. The dental
implants, which are approximately the
size of wooden toothpicks are placed about
five millimeters apart in the patient
mandible. The patient denture is then
carefully placed and adjusted by Dr. Mantovani
to allow it to snap onto the four mini-implants.
The result? A tight fitting, completely
reliable system that allows a patient
to speak and eat with confidence. The
dental implants are placed in about an
hour's time.
Because of the unique minimally invasive
procedure, the minute size of the implants
and the characteristics of the placement
area, the typical dental implant patient
can enjoy a light meal in an hour or so
after having the mini-implants placed.
Furthermore a denture patient who has
had his or her prosthesis stabilized,
can remove and replace the denture easily
with a little practice and can easily
have good dental hygiene.
What
are Mini-Dental implants?
A
miniature titanium implant acts like the
root of your tooth, and a retaining fixture
that is incorporated into the base of
your denture to keep it solid and with
no movement, the head of the implant is
shaped like a ball and the retaining fixture
acts like a socket that contains a rubber-o
-ring, the rubber-o rings snaps over the
ball when the denture is seated and holds
the denture. The implant fixture allows
for micro-mobility while with standing
neutral lifting forces
How does the Mini-Dental implants technology
broaden my options?
Dental
implant therapy has been around for the
past 25 years in dentistry, there are
several different types of implants and
restorations available. The choice depends
upon the amount of bone available, the
patients general health and restoration
preferences.
The computer and Dental world are both
working hard to develop smaller and smaller
components, in similar way a smaller version
of the dental implant has been successfully
utilized in selected cases. The mini-implants
successfully utilized in selected cases.
The mini-implants (1.8mm in diameter)
enable your dentist to broaden the spectrum.
This system provides greater denture stability.
Mini-Dental Implants are for those who
do not have enough bone to allow for full
size implants to be placed, for conventional
implant surgery or are in on-going therapy
from one prosthetic denture system to
another.
How
are Mini-Dental Implants Placed?
Placements
of the dental implants is accomplish quickly
and easily in a process performed in the
dental office, with local anesthesia or
a light sedation to help make the patient
more comfortable. Using a precise, controlled,
minimally invasive surgical technique
Mini-Dental Implants are placed into the
jawbone. The head of the implants procedure
from the gum tissue and provides a strong
solid foundation for securing your dentures.
It is a one step procedure that involves
minimal invasive surgery, no sutures or
the typical months of healing.

They're not only mercury free (thus non-toxic)
but they're also custom made to preserve
the anatomy of the patients tooth, this
will prevent further tooth fracture and
bite problems. These
restorations are made in high-tech labs,
with porcelains that will not only match
your tooth color but also its shape, translucency
and natural spots.
If
you're feeling embarrassed to laugh out
load because of dark amalgams or stained
composite fillings, your Cosmetic Dentist

Braces
Do
you think you or your child
needs Braces?
The
most common and visible signs
of you or your child needing
braces is crowded or crooked
teeth and/or noticeable spaces
between teeth.
Every
child above the age of seven
should undergo and orthodontic
evaluation to determine if there
is a need for Braces.
Straight
teeth help an individual to
effectively bite, chew and speak.
Straight teeth contribute to
healthy teeth and gums. Properly
aligned teeth and jaws may alleviate
or prevent physical health problems.
Teeth that work better also
tend to look better. An attractive
smile is a pleasant "side
effect" of orthodontic
treatment.
Untreated
orthodontic problems may become
worse. They may lead to tooth
decay, gum disease, destruction
of the bone that holds teeth
in place, and chewing and digestive
difficulties.
Contact
us for a complimentary Orthodontic
evaluation and find out if Braces
are right for you.
