TMJ conditions are manifested by pain in the muscles along with limitations in the ability to make the normal movements if you suffer from such pain neuromuscular dentistry can help!
Implant Dentistry
Dental Implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth. The Implants themselves are artificial tooth roots anchored in the gum or jawbone on which replacement teeth are permanently secured. They can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth. implanted teeth are fixed in the mouth rather than removable like dentures, they allow the wearer to return to the comfort and function associated with natural teeth.
Many of Dr. Hodgins patients are helped each year by dental implants. tooth lose is accompanied by bone loss at a rate of 40-60% during the first year following the loss. This fact makes wearing dentures or partials more difficult as the years pass .Dental implants stop the degeneration of bone in the area of tooth loss. Implants provide a solid foundation of support in the mouth for permanent, non-removable teeth. Increased chewing ability means you can enjoy more nutritious foods, contributing to your overall health and well-being. In short, dental implants improve the quality of your life. They can improve your appearance, boost self-confidence, and allow you to speak with greater clarity.
