Neuromuscular Dentistry Approach to Cosmetic Dentistry

Encinitas, Carlsbad, and San Diego, CA.

Traditional cosmetic dentistry can make your teeth look good, but the results do not always last. When cosmetic dentistry is approached from a neuromuscular perspective you get the healthiest, longest lasting, most beautiful results.

 

Traditional dentistry focuses on your teeth and joints. Neuromuscular dentistry is a more complete and healthy approach taking into consideration your teeth, jaw joint, and the nerves and muscles. All of these components must work together in harmony for comfort and dental health. The benefits of this approach are vast.

 

When your bite is out of alignment it creates constant tension in your jaw. This tension radiates throughout your face and body and can cause headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, and other symptoms. It also puts more strain on your teeth and on your restorations, causing dental damage and causing restorations to fail. A neuromuscular cosmetic dentist will correct any underlying problems with your bite and will create your restorations to work properly with your bite, avoiding these problems and bringing you more comfort and better health.

 

Long lasting results

Your restorations will be long lasting because when your bite is in proper alignment and the opposing teeth meet your restoration properly there is no excess wear and tear.

 

Beauty

When your jaw is properly aligned the muscles in your face and body are relaxed and your profile is brought into proper balance. The results can be as dramatic as a face lift. Relieving the tension in your face and balancing your profile can actually reduce the appearance of wrinkles and particularly lines around the mouth. Relieving the tension and discomfort can improve your expression making you look less tired because you feel better. It can even improve your posture.

 

Your restorations will have a better fit and better function and this translates to a more natural looking result.

 

Health

Cosmetic procedures performed with a neuromuscular approach yield the healthiest results. Your dental health is protected from future damage. The comfort of a properly aligned bite will radiate through your entire body. The muscles in your face, head, neck, shoulders, and back are all affected in a positive way.
