Experience Lasting Relief with Neuromuscular Dentistry Neuromuscular dentistry provides a holistic, comprehensive treatment for facial pain issues, TMJ disorders, and body postural issues. While conventional dentists will only look at your teeth and gums, neuromuscular dentists identify and restore all of the pieces that make up one system—the jaw joints (TMJ), muscles, teeth, and nerves work to get function back to the entire craniofacial system supporting natural chewing, breathing, and swallowing. How Does Neuromuscular Imbalance Impact the Body? A misaligned jaw, misaligned bite (malocclusion), and chronic stress can pull your jaw out of alignment. When this happens the entire skull will sit unevenly on the cervical spine. This will put strain on surrounding muscles, leading to muscle spasms and radiated pain through the neck, shoulders, back, hips and legs. Neuromuscular dental therapies are utilized to reposition the jaws to a more optimal position and correct the bite. This can help alleviate muscle effort and strain leading to better body posture. The Consequences of Chewing with the Same Side Favoring one side while chewing may lead to an asymmetrical bite and an oblique occlusal plane. While chewing, this produces pressure in the chewing muscles on that side while putting strain on larger postural muscles such as the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscle that link the jaw to the neck and vertebral spine. This can easily lead to poor postural habits, back pain, sciatica, and leg fatigue when viewed as patterns and causes over time. Common Signs and Symptoms of Neuromuscular Disorders Watch for the following symptoms: • Jaw pain or TMJ pain • Clicking or popping when you use your jaw • Inability to open mouth fully • Headaches or migraines • Ringing in the ears or tinnitus • Inability to hold your head or shoulders up • Numbness or tingling in your fingers • Back pain (in particular L4, L5) • Sciatica or leg pain • Generalized muscle stiffness Smile and Glow Diagnostic Process for Facial Pain Using a multi-specialty approach the Smile and Glow Team invokes a systematic diagnostic process to determine the limitations associated with TMJ or other neuromuscular disorders: • Thorough history, posture, and sleeping position assessment. • Full mouth and extra-oral clinical examination. • Imagery: OPG, Lateral Ceph, CBCT, TMJ open/close views, airway scans, MRI, whole-body scans. • Sleep analysis either through home sleep test or polysomnogram. • XSens (external ground surface maxillary skull trackers), ULF-TENS, jaw tracking, MAT Scan and T-Scan, our digital device for measuring bite force. Why We Use T-Scan T-Scan provides a digital map of your bite to evaluate occlusal imbalances that may be causing you pain or long-term dysfunction. The Role of TENS Therapy in Neuromuscular Dentistry Ultra Low-Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (ULF-TENS) helps relax overworked jaw muscles and facilitates healing. TENS has been shown to: • Release muscle tightness. • Block pain signals from reaching the brain. • Increase endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relievers. • Increase blood flow to accelerate recovery. Once the muscle is relaxed we can take an accurate record of your true jaw position and build you a customized treatment plan. Neuromuscular Dentistry is effective for: • Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) • Cranio-Cervical-Mandibular Disorders (CCMD) Holistic Treatment Options at Smile and Glow After evaluation and diagnosis our neuromuscular orthodontist might recommend: • mandibular orthopedic repositioning appliance (MORA) • orthotic splints, TENS therapy, or myomonitor therapy (J5 Myomonitor) • Restorative or orthodontic correction for stable occlusion. And we will work with other specialists such as ENT, pulmonologists, physiotherapists, and psychologists, if necessary. Start Accessing Treatment Early Around age 7 would be optimal, but anyone who has had chronic signs and symptoms (jaw pain, facial tension, neck stiffness, or shoulder or back stiffness) should be evaluated at the first sign of any problems to avoid worsening of symptoms.

Dental Implants Single Tooth | Multiple Teeth | Full-Mouth Solutions When it comes to replacing missing teeth, Dental Implants are the most advanced and predictable approach. Made out of biocompatible titanium, dental implants are screw-like structures, inserted surgically in the jawbone, that replicate the root of a tooth. After a few months, the implant fuses with the bone, a process called osseointegration, which provides a solid foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures. Dental implants can replace single or multiple teeth, or can be utilized for full-mouth rehabilitation with an outcome that is functional and aesthetically natural-looking. At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, we are able to restore your smile with dental implants whether you need one, or you need multiple implants by utilizing established trusted systems that provide precise and successful long-term outcomes. Why Are Dental Implants the Go-to Option? Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry and offer several great benefits: • ✅ Most Like Your Natural Teeth: Dental implants look, function, and feel just like your natural teeth. • ✅ Stops Bone Loss: Bone loss occurs after missing a tooth. Implants stop bone loss by replacing the tooth root and maintaining jaw strength. • ✅ Longevity and Durability: When dental implants are placed correctly and properly maintained, they can last a lifetime (much longer than bridges and dentures). • ✅ Enhances Aesthetics of the Face: When implants restore the entire tooth including the root, they aid in supporting the shape of your face and preventing the sunken appearance often caused by tooth loss. • ✅ Fixed and Stable: Once dental implants are placed, they stay in place. Dentures are removable and can slip or click when eating or speaking. • ✅ Comfortable and Functional: Restoring your mouth to full functionality allows you to enjoy your favorite foods in comfort, and speak clearly and confidently. • ✅ Easy Maintenance: Just like natural teeth, you will brush, floss, and have dental checkups. • ✅ Increase your self esteem: When you have a smile you are proud of, you will look better, feel better and lead a better quality of life. ________________________________________ Implant vs Bridge - What is Best? While dental Bridges require you to shave down the adjacent teeth to provide support for the dental restoration, you do not disturb your healthy natural teeth with a dental implant. Implants are placed into the jawbone independently to the surrounding teeth, providing a stronger, more conservative, longer lasting restoration. Who is a Good Candidate for Implants? You’re a candidate for dental implants if: • You are missing one or more teeth. • Your jawbone has the required amount of density and height. • You do not have uncontrolled systemic disease. • You maintain good oral hygiene. Contra-Indications To Dental Implants You could be contra-indicated for the use of dental implants if: • ❌ You have uncontrolled diabetes, as it could affect healing and implants. • ❌ You are a heavy smoker. If you are a smoker your healing is delayed and could affect the long-term success of the implant. • ❌ You have osteoporosis, as your bone density may not be adequate enough to support the implant. • ❌ You have had radiation; for instance if you had head and neck radiation. • ❌ You have severe bruxism (teeth grinding), as you will introduce additional stress. • ❌ You have poor oral hygiene and untreated periodontal disease. • ❌ You have an autoimmune condition or are immuno-compromised, they could affect your healing response. • ❌ You have insufficient bone or quality of bone. They may require grafting to obtain the proper amount of bone volume width or height. Implant Brands We Love at Smile and Glow At Smile and Glow we strive to use the best internationally recognized dental implant systems to maximize the quality of your implant: • Nobel Biocare (Sweden) • Straumann (USA) • DIO digital implants (UK). The aforementioned implant systems offer optimum precision, safety, and reliability through long-term backed world-wide (and clinical) evidence. Smile and Glow Implant Techniques We offer a variety of implant options for the wide range of clinical indications: • Immediate Loaded Implants / Same-Day Implants • All-on-4 Full Hybrid Denture • All-on-6 / All-on-8 Full-Mouth Fixed Ceramic Teeth • Implant-Supported Removable Dentures • Keyhole / 3D Guided Implants – less invasive – quicker healing ________________________________________ What is the Procedure for Dental Implants? Installing dental implants is a standardized process designed to ensure the longevity and success of your implants: • After dental and medical evaluations, and initial impressions and digital x-rays, the surgeon will conduct more in-depth imaging using a CBCT to establish a precise plan for placing your implant. • The actual surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia or with the option of conscious sedation or general anesthesia for those who prefer to be more comfortably sedated. ________________________________________ Two-Stage Implants • The surgery is performed to surgically insert a titanium dental implant post (either an endosteal cylindrical or tapered implant) into the jaw. • After insertion, the implant will fuse to the bone in a process called osseointegration, which will create a stable base for your new tooth. • While the implant is integrating, which can take weeks to months, you will have a temporary prosthesis placed, if required. • After the healing phase is complete (typically 3-6 months duration), the implant site will be uncovered, the implant components will be attached including a small abutment, or connector, which will eventually hold the final custom crown. Single-Stage Implants • With a single-stage implant, the implant and abutment are placed in one appointment. • A temporary crown will be placed and the patient will be asked to avoid any hard/chewy foods during healing which will take about 3–6 months. • Onces the implant is fully integrated with the bone, the temporary crown will be replaced with a permanent crown. Post-Implant Care: Ensuring Longevity Maintaining implants is easy: • Brush and floss daily as if they are regular teeth • See your dentist for cleanings and evaluations every 6 months • Avoid smoking and don't exert excessive force on your implants With good care, dental implants can last a lifetime and provide you with a strong, confident, and fully functional smile. 💬Are you looking for safe, lasting dental implants in Mogappair ,its surrounding or Perambur, Kolathur?
