One of the first things you notice about a person is their smile! Not only does a white, bright smile make a memorable impression, but it can help you feel better about yourself. Tooth whitening is a gentle, non-invasive process that involves removing impurities from inside tooth structure, as well as surface stain from the teeth. Different methods to whiten include in-office and at-home procedures. In-office whitening is performed using ZOOM and is able to whiten up to multiple shades in only one office visit! At-home whitening includes custom made whitening trays that patients wear outside of the office, and can whiten up to multiple shades within weeks. Most patients are candidates for whitening, however, the dentist will help determine if whitening is right for you. Call and schedule an appointment with us today to find out how much brighter your smile can be!
The TMJ–Temporomandibular Joint– is right in front of each ear and is where the lower jaw (mandible) hinges to the skull (temporal) bone on each side. This joint anatomy, the muscles used to chew, and the way the teeth contact each other when biting can all contribute to dysfunction with the TMJ. Pain upon chewing, discomfort in the face, head, neck and back, as well as ringing in the ears are all symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.
