- Dental ExaminationAs a high-level, competitive soccer player, my daughter lived and breathed the game. From adolescence she had regularly suffered from headaches, but at the age of 15 began having debilitating migraines. About that same time she suffered a mild concussion during a game. She was examined by a doctor, placed on injured reserve for a month and eventually returned to play. Soon after she began encountering exercised-induced dizziness and nausea that became so frequent that she was unable to play. She was seen by well-respected physicians – including a neurologist and a sports concussion specialist. Fortunately all tests, including an MRI of her brain, showed no problems. The headaches and exercise-induced issues persisted and even worsened. The conclusion was that she would most likely “grow out of it." Meanwhile her headaches seemed to occur more frequently. Finally, while at her six-month dental exam, Dr. Tompkins asked several questions about her overall health. He listened carefully and then indicated that perhaps all her symptoms, all the worry, all the downtime – could be eliminated with a custom orthotic.

- Restorative DentistryPhysiologic dentistry is the science of using the relaxed position of the muscles of the head and neck to place the jaw in the optimal physiological position for comfort and function. It's also used to find the optimal jaw position before restorative dentistry, which greatly increases the longevity of the restorations and effectively treat a TMJ condition. Dr. Tompkins has successfully treated TMJ patients with life-altering results. These techniques are also utilized to make superior sleep apnea appliances and enhance orthodontic procedures.

- OrthodonticsFull Face Orthodontics utilizes treatment goals that achieve far more than just straightening the teeth. Traditional orthodontics simply straighten the teeth in jaws that are commonly in the wrong position, generally too far back. Full Face Orthodontics places the jaws in the correct position in the face prior to straightening the teeth.
