  • A Checkup, a Cleaning, or a Tooth That Hurts

    Exams, cleanings, fillings and crowns, with a check on your bite, joints and airway at every visit.

  • Jaw Pain, Clicking, or Limited Opening

    Painless clicking can be stable for years. Clicking with pain, or a jaw that locks, is worth a closer look.

    Jaw Pain & TMJ Care

  • Headaches or Facial Pain

    Not every headache is jaw-related, but some are. If yours get worse when you clench, the jaw is worth checking.

    Headaches & Facial Pain

  • Grinding, Clenching, or Worn Teeth

    Protecting your teeth starts with understanding why it’s happening.

    Clenching & Grinding

  • Snoring, Poor Sleep, or Daytime Fatigue

    Breathing problems during sleep are more common than most people think, and they’re treatable.

    Sleep Apnea & Snoring

  • Crooked, Crowded, or Shifting Teeth

    Moving teeth changes how your jaw works, so we look at the whole system first.

How the Evaluation Works

A straightforward process. No surprises, no runaround.

  1. Your Story

    Tell us what you’re dealing with and what you’ve already tried.

  2. Evaluate

    We spend real time on this. Your history, a hands-on exam, and targeted tests if needed. Plan for 45 to 90 minutes, depending on what you’re coming in for.

  3. Plan

    You leave the office knowing what’s most likely going on, what we recommend doing about it, and what to expect next. Conservative options first. No pressure.
