Functional Therapy
Preserving proper function of your teeth and jaws is one of our most important responsibilities. Functional problems related to the complex system of bones, muscles, and joints in your mouth can cause incessant headaches, jaw pain, and tooth sensitivity. We provide sweet relief from these chronic conditions, setting you free from the debilitating symptoms of tooth grinding and TMJ disorder.
- Bruxism Appliances
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, seriously damages your teeth by causing wear, cracks, and chips. Since bruxism sufferers typically grind their teeth while sleeping, they may not even be aware of this destructive habit. If you wake up with unexplainable pain in your head and face or start to notice chipped, cracked, or super-sensitive teeth, you may suffer from bruxism. We guard your teeth against further damage with custom-made oral appliances and repair existing damage to restore your smile. Call our dental office in Eagan, MN for a functional exam today, so we can relieve you of these annoying symptoms! - TMJ Therapy
TMJ disorder refers to a malfunction of the temperomandibular joints that connect your lower jaw to your skull. If you hear popping when you open your mouth wide, or if you experience migraine headaches or lockjaw, you may suffer from TMJ disorder. Left untreated, TMJ disorder can escalate into an extremely painful condition with a severe negative impact on your quality of life. We can alleviate the crippling symptoms of TMJ disorder with custom bite splints that correct your bite and ward off associated neuromuscular problems. If these symptoms sound familiar, call us for an occlusal and neuromuscular evaluation. We will give you a reason to smile.
