TMJ can lead to cracked teeth, jaw damage and loose teeth that must be removed. If this happens to you, what kind of treatments are available to correct these unsightly oral issues?

The New York City offices of Dr. Michael Iott are available to make over an unattractive smile with a variety of treatments, from porcelain veneers, Lumineers and dental implants to crowns and caps and many other cosmetic dental care treatments that will give you the smile you’ve always wanted. If you’re grinding your teeth, Dr. Iott will create a custom fitted mouth guard to wear at night that will prevent you from grinding your teeth, saving your teeth and jaw from undue wear and tear that can lead to pain, tooth decay, cracked and chipped teeth, teeth that are unevenly worn, or missing teeth.

Once Dr. Iott has corrected these issues, he’ll follow it up with BriteSmile or LumaArch whitening and a bleaching kit you can use at home to maintain those beautiful new pearly whites.

TMJ is a disorder of the jaw joint that can lead to headaches and pain in the neck, shoulders, face, head and back, as well as a host of oral issues that, left untreated, can become serious. It’s important to seek treatment from a dentist with the experience and qualifications to treat the symptoms and the cause of TMJ.

If it’s been some time since you’ve visited the dentist’s office, you may be surprised to note how many computers are in use. From front office staff to hygienists and even the dentists, computers assist your dental office in providing the very best care for you and your family.

You probably know the front office staff uses computers to keep track of appointments, store your personal history and compile information about your dental visits, but did you know your dentist also uses computers to provide images of your teeth so you can take part in understanding proposed treatments?

For example, at the New York City offices of Dr. Michael Iott, your first visit is a comprehensive oral evaluation and a chance for Dr. Iott to fully understand your past and present dental and medical information. Various high-tech instruments diagnose your oral health, and many of these instruments are digital and rely on computers for operation. Digital imaging, Diagnodent decay detection, use of an intraoral camera for superior oral visualization, periodontal probing, oral cancer screening, a thorough cleaning, a full dental examination, digital morphing for on-screen smile design, and computerized charting are all part of your first visit and computers play a big part in bringing all of these high tech services to you to provide the very best treatment plan in the most modern setting.

So the next time you’re in your dentist’s waiting room, have a look around and you may be pleasantly surprised to see how computers help your dentist to provide the efficiency and care you deserve and expect.
