Do you Have Tooth Pain?

Tooth pain can be the result of a wide range of oral concerns, from common dental problems such as tooth decay to a more serious infection such as gum disease. Tooth pain and sensitivity should be addressed as soon as possible for appropriate care, and to avoid permanent damage. We offer advanced diagnostics, tooth fillings, root canals, and restorative treatments as needed.

Are You Missing Teeth?

Even one missing tooth can have a significant detrimental impact on your oral health in addition to reducing your confidence in your smile. We offer treatment options for replacing missing teeth from dental bridges to all types of dental implants. We work with patients who have recently lost a tooth and with those who are suffering from poorly fitting dentures. Our personalized, team approach will give you confidence in your smile and restore your quality of life.

Suffering From Bite Problems?

An uncomfortable or uneven bite that affects your ability to chew properly is a sign of a TMJ-related disorder in the majority of patients.

Sleep Apnea Keeping You Awake?

Sleep apnea and sleep-related breathing disorders can affect your physical well-being, your health, and your ability to function at your best each day. Dr. Dechter and Dr. Moy offer oral appliance therapy for patients diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. It’s also ideal for those who are intolerant of the CPAP.

A custom-made oral sleep appliance will be designed. Oral appliances reposition the jaw and prevent snoring, which is the result of tissue collapse at the back of the throat. This can also facilitate normal breathing patterns and minimize health risks associated with a sleep disorder.

Is Jaw Pain a Constant Issue?

Jaw pain, chewing discomfort, and a range of other symptoms are often related to teeth grinding. Many patients do not realize they are grinding their teeth or clenching their jaw because it frequently occurs during sleep. Dr. Dechter and Dr. Moy will look for the oral signs of teeth grinding during routine exams. They’ll also ask you about the comfort and fit of your bite to determine if you have a bite disorder, the common cause of teeth grinding.
