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!


Dental Porcelain Veneers [ Improve your life ]

This is the perfect cosmetic solution to improve the shape, spacing and color of your teeth, giving you the smile you've always wanted!

Forget about long and painful orthodontic treatments, with dental porcelain veneers in only 3 easy visits we can align your full mouth for a perfect bite. In the second visit you will already walk out the door with a beautiful smile in temporary restorarions.

Dental Porcelain Veneers feel and look natural because of their color, translucency and shape. If you have old bonding restorations or black metal crowns this is the way you want to go in order to restore your smile.

In order to provide you with top-of-the-line restorations we only work with prestigious labs like Microdental; such labs required for the Cosmetic Dentist to have the proper training, which we have undertaken at the Las Vegas Institute for advanced dental education.

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… Choose Dental Implants for secured smile.

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.

 

Porcelain Restorations [porcelain vs. plastic]

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.
