Botox for TMJ pain, headaches related to clenching & grinding:

Botox injections can be used as a treatment for TMJ disorder, a condition that causes pain, clicking, and stiffness in the jaw joint.

How it Works: Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes the muscles it is injected into. In the case of TMJ, Botox is injected into the masseter and temporalis muscles, which are responsible for clenching and grinding the teeth. By paralyzing these muscles, Botox can reduce pain, improve jaw function, and prevent further damage to the joint.

Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years can cause the skin to furrow and fold, resulting in facial lines. Botox or other Botulinium Toxin’s works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults— to help them look better.

All – on – X Implant treatment

What Is the All-on-X Procedure?

The All-on-X procedure is a dental implant technique designed to replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth. The “X” in the name refers to the customizable number of implants used, which typically ranges from four to six, depending on your specific needs. These implants act as sturdy anchors for a fixed prosthetic bridge, restoring your smile and functionality with a streamlined process.

Who Is a Candidate for the All-on-X Procedure?

The All-on-X procedure is ideal for individuals who:

Have multiple missing or failing teeth
Struggle with ill-fitting or uncomfortable dentures
Want a permanent solution that doesn’t require daily removal or adhesives
Have sufficient jawbone density to support implants (or are willing to undergo bone grafting if needed)

What Are the Benefits?

Permanent Solution: The All-on-X prosthetic is fixed securely, eliminating the need for removable dentures.
Improved Aesthetics: Custom prosthetics are designed to look and feel like natural teeth.
Restored Functionality: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
Preserved Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
Fewer Implants, More Coverage: Using fewer implants to support a full arch reduces surgical complexity while still providing exceptional stability.

How Does It Work?

The All-on-X procedure is a transformative dental treatment performed in several stages to restore your smile and oral function. The journey begins with an initial consultation and planning phase. During this step, your periodontist conducts a thorough evaluation of your oral health, bone density, and overall suitability for the procedure. Advanced imaging technology is utilized to gather precise information, which aids in developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to ensure optimal results.

The next stage involves the implant placement. During a surgical appointment, titanium dental implants are strategically positioned in the jawbone. These implants are designed to fuse with the bone over time, creating a stable and robust foundation for your new teeth.

Following the implant placement, a temporary prosthetic is attached to the implants. This temporary restoration provides immediate functionality and aesthetics, allowing you to maintain a confident smile and enjoy basic oral functions while the implants heal and integrate with the jawbone.

The final step of the procedure is the final restoration. After a healing period, which typically lasts between three to six months, a custom-designed permanent prosthetic is securely affixed to the implants. This final restoration completes your smile transformation, offering a natural appearance and long-lasting durability.

Dr. Joshi will discuss options with you that would provide the best results during the consult appointment.

Crown lengthening:

Decay\cavities can destroy a lot of tooth structure and your dentist might decide to fill the tooth and make a crown to save the tooth. If the decay, filling or crown margin goes below the gum level your dentist might refer you to us for crown lengthening surgery. By doing this procedure we make it easy for the dentist to do a crown on your tooth without causing any inflammation of the gum around the tooth.

Locate & Attach:

Children undergoing braces treatment might find out that some of their teeth are not erupting properly or causing damage to adjacent teeth.
