*Please note we DO NOT provide any other types of dental services*
Your First Appointment
Most patients will undergo a comprehensive battery of records and evaluation. Because we have found there to be a relationship that exists between sleeping, TMJ disorders, and migraines. We evaluate all of these at the initial consultation. Plan on an hour and ½ for this appointment.
Diagnostic Record Collection
-3D x-ray: This is our greatest diagnostic tool. With it we can evaluate the joints, the airway, skeletal imbalances, nasal deviations and soft tissue abnormalities of the midface and throat.
–Range of Motion (ROM) test: to determine if there are muscular limitations to the movement of the head and neck.
-Tek-Scan Bite Analysis: A comprehensive test that uses sensors to determine if the teeth fit together properly when a person bites
-EMG Analysis: Used in coordination with the T-Scan to show how the muscles are functioning when a person bites down.
-Digital Scan: Our in the mouth sensor will capture your teeth and bite digitally so an oral appliance can be fabricated.
