While our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is necessary due to severe decay, damage, or crowding. We perform simple and wisdom tooth extractions with precision and care, making the procedure as comfortable as possible. We’ll discuss all your options for replacement and aftercare to ensure a full recovery.
Root canal therapy is a common procedure used to save a tooth with an infected or damaged pulp. By carefully removing the infected tissue and sealing the tooth, we can eliminate pain and prevent the need for an extraction. A root canal can help you keep your natural tooth and maintain your smile's health and integrity.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause chronic pain in your jaw, face, and neck, along with headaches and discomfort. We can diagnose and treat TMJ issues, often by creating a custom oral appliance to alleviate pressure and reduce pain. Our goal is to help you find relief and improve your quality of life.
If you suffer from mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom-fitted oral appliance may be a great alternative to a CPAP machine. These small, comfortable devices are designed to keep your airway open while you sleep, allowing for better breathing and a more restful night.
