Technologically advanced assessment techniques...

As each client's needs vary, technologically advanced techniques for assessing your individual dental concerns and desires for your smile will be implemented according to your specific needs. Dr. Roberts has integrated into her practice the most technologically-advanced assessment tools such as computer-based or digital radiology so that your x-ray pictures are achieved with as much as a 90% reduction in the radiation required with traditional x-rays. The resulting digital radiographs can then be viewed as a full computer monitor picture which can be enhanced or enlarged to assist with early detection of dental problems and to ensure a comprehensive diagnosis. On your first visit you will receive an examination of your head and neck and a thorough examination of your oral cavity including a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and gums.

Expertise in Neuromuscular Dentistry...

The way teeth grow out of the jaw is influenced by a variety of factors such as heredity, shape of your jaw, and certain environmental conditions that can lead to uneven biting surfaces. If left untreated, this "dental malocclusion" can lead to problems with biting, gum health, speech development and the ability to maintain optimum dental hygiene. Some symptoms of malocclusion may include:

Severe headaches possibly including stiff neck and shoulders
Excessive clenching and grinding of your teeth
Stiff or tender jaw with difficulty and pain when moving your jaw
Worn or chipped teeth

As a Neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Roberts uses state-of-the-art technology to determine if your symptoms are caused by dental malocclusion and what your optimal jaw position and bite should be. Computerized sensors and scanning technology may be utilized to analyze your bite, its force and its timing. Vivid computer graphics assists Dr. Roberts in seeing the balance of an ideal bite and make determinations and adjustments to achieve your optimum bite balance.

Dr. Roberts will subsequently carefully review all the information to identify a careful diagnosis and a treatment plan specifically designed for you. This will include all of the various treatment options to restore your mouth to optimum health and give you your most beautiful smile. The findings and treatment options will be thoroughly explained to you. Dr. Roberts will answer any questions you may have to ensure that ultimately you obtain a thorough understanding of your dental conditions and the treatment options available to restore you to optimum dental health and develop a beautiful smile you are proud to show.
