Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are fully customized, wafer-thin sheaths of tooth-colored dental porcelain. This lifelike material even possesses the glass-like properties that make tooth enamel slightly reflective and translucent; this means that when your veneers are bonded to your teeth, they’ll blend seamlessly into your smile in a natural way that is entirely undetectable. They effectively promote a beautiful, even smile free of common cosmetic flaws, including chips, cracks, gaps, moderate misalignment, and discoloration.

TMJ
DISORDER

TMJ disorder and a misaligned bite often go hand in hand. Patients with TMJ disorder may grind their teeth and suffer from worn or misaligned teeth. TMJ disorder can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and chewing difficulties, often linked to stress or an improper bite. Dr. Sox and her team have extensive training in “bite” issues (occlusion), and neuromuscular dentistry. Their training and experience allow them to accurately diagnose TMJ disorder and provide effective solutions.

Dental Implant Restorations

Dental implants represent the most advanced treatment available to date. A tiny titanium anchor placed in the jawbone serves as a tooth root, and a natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture attaches to the root for a lifelike restoration with unrivaled support and function. This is unique compared to most general practices around the country. As a result, you can receive specialized care – including the surgical placement of your implants and their final restorations – in one convenient location.

Oral Cancer Screening

All adults should have an annual VELscope exam because a quarter of oral cancer victims are non-smokers, don’t drink, and have no lifestyle factors to heighten their oral cancer risk. Men over 40 and women between the ages of 20 and 40 are the most prone to the disease. Patients with lifestyle risks, including any tobacco use, daily alcohol consumption, viral infections, autoimmune deficiencies like HIV, and diabetes may need more frequent evaluations.
