- X-raysTempo mandibular joint (TMJ) disorder involves pain and compromised movement of the jaw joint and its surrounding muscles. Diagnosis of this condition may require dental X-rays to examine your teeth and jaw, a CT scan of the bones involved in the joint, and/or an MRI to uncover any problems with the joint’s disc or surrounding soft tissue. Treatment for TMJ may include pain relievers, muscle relaxants, oral splints or mouth guards, physical therapy, or surgery.

- VeneersVeneers are thin artificial coverings that are applied over the front of your natural teeth. Veneers are used to correct the appearance of chipped, cracked, gapped, or discolored teeth. There are two basic types of veneers to choose from: composite and porcelain. Ask us for more details today.
- CrownsThe best permanent replacement for a single tooth with root damage is an implant in conjunction with a ceramic crown. This solution looks and functions like a natural tooth, providing lifelong stability with an excellent esthetic result.
- BridgesIdeal for patients who have either lost all their teeth or have extensive dental damage, full arch and fixed bridge dental implants are designed with 4-8 implants and a dental bridge (may be fixed). A good example of this would be upper and lower implant that is stabilized and supported by a bridge. These kinds of implants allow you to eat normally, offering a strong and stable dental solution that will last a lifetime.

This causes moderate to severe pain that can sometimes radiate to your ear or neck. The infection may be caused by an untreated cavity, an injury, or previous dental work. Symptoms of an abscessed tooth include pain, bad breath, and fever. In any case, the abscess must be drained. A root canal or antibiotics may also be needed. In an extreme case, the tooth must be pulled.

- Jaw SurgeryOrthodontic treatment is very individualized. Each person’s treatment plan is unique and specific to him or her. The type of orthodontics worn and the length of time that they are worn depend on several factors, including the complexity of your malocclusions. Some people may need procedures prior to orthodontic application. Such procedures may include tooth extraction or jaw surgery for severe bite problems.
- Tooth ExtractionsWhen necessary, the skilled dentists at Faber Dental Arts perform tooth extractions with the utmost sensitivity and minimal discomfort.
- OrthodonticsOrthodontics correct bite problems called malocclusions. Examples of malocclusions include jaws that are out of alignment, missing teeth, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and extra teeth. Malocclusions can be inherited or caused by prolonged thumb sucking, trauma, and early or late loss of baby teeth.
