Fight Back Against TMJ Disorder With These Relaxation Tips

TMJ is an acronym for temporomandibular joint, which is just the technical term for your complex jaw joints. When you think about how some of your joints, like your knee joint for example, move only one direction back and forth, and then take a moment to see how many ways you can move your jaw, you may start to appreciate just how complex your TMJ is.
Partially because of the complexity of your TMJ, a lot of people have trouble with their jaw joints at some point or another, but if you’re regularly experiencing any of the following symptoms, there’s a good chance you have a jaw-related disorder:

Even if you do occasionally experience some of these issues, you should visit us for a professional opinion on your particular case instead of simply diagnosing yourself.
If we determine that you could benefit from a TMJ treatment, we will provide a custom solution. Most likely, we will provide an oral appliance that will prevent you from grinding your teeth so your jaw can heal. But there’s also a lot you can do to deal with jaw-related problems on your own.
Rather than reaching for medications straight away, try inhaling some calming essential oils. There are many options, but our patients often mention lavender, bergamot, and chamomile.
You can also try thinking of a pleasant, calming memory to help you release some of your tension.
Breathing exercises are also a great option for many people. The important thing is that you take deep breaths and regulate your breathing. One popular method is the 4-7-8 approach where you:

Check Out Our Many Cosmetic Dentistry Options

If you’re not feeling great about your smile, any time is a great time to take the first step toward getting the flawless grin you have always wanted. But for a number of reasons, summertime is an especially great time to have a smile that makes you feel great about your appearance.
Maybe you have one or more ceremonies you’ll be attending this upcoming wedding season. Or perhaps you’re planning a vacation and want to ensure you look great in all the selfies and pictures you’ll take during the trip. Or maybe it’s just that you tend to stay indoors during the winter months and you’re ready to get outside and see and be seen. No matter your particular reason, beautifying your smile for summer could be a great idea for you.
Because every patient has unique concerns about the way their teeth and gums look, we offer many cosmetic treatment options. To help you figure out the services that will put the biggest smile on your face, we will provide a private consultation, during which we will:

We’d be happy to go in-depth about any treatment you want to get and explain what the procedure entails and more if you’d like, but for now, we’ve provided some basics on our many cosmetic services below.
So long as your mouth is in good health, you will likely be a good candidate for any of these treatments. You can even pick-and-choose from the variety we offer to design your own comprehensive smile makeover if you want to!

Cover Up Many Cosmetic Issues With Dental Veneers

If you’ve ever felt jealous of a celebrity’s gorgeous grin, there’s a good chance that you were actually jealous of them having dental veneers. Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored material that fit over the front surface of your teeth, sort of like false fingernails, but veneers can last for several years or even a decade or more with proper care. They can be used to hide:

Depending on your particular situation, we may even be able to provide e.max ceramic veneers. These are thinner than some other options so we will be able to place them without having to remove as much of your tooth enamel to make them fit.

Brighten Your Grin With Teeth Whitening

If you want to have a smile full of pearly white teeth, we can help you with professional teeth whitening options. We offer both an in-office treatment (which we’re currently providing for $399 instead of $500) and a take-home option (which we can provide for only $299). Regardless of which option you choose, you’ll have a brighter smile to look forward to.

Straighten Your Crooked Chompers With Orthodontics

Countless patients have teeth that are less-than-straight. Fixing the alignment of crooked teeth is not only a good idea in terms of cosmetic concerns. Orthodontics treatments can also help you improve your oral health because straight teeth are easier to brush and floss properly.
Along with traditional braces that use metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth, we also offer short-term orthodontics, including:

Whether or not you can use some of our orthodontics options depends on the health of your teeth as well as the severity of your misalignment. But so long as you’re a good candidate, you can choose the tooth-straightening option that will help you achieve your goals in the timeframe and method you want. (Depending on your case, you may not have straight teeth by summer time but you’ll be well on your way!)

Hide Your Small Smile Imperfections With Tooth Bonding

Like dental veneers, tooth bonding is an incredibly versatile cosmetic option and it can be used to conceal many of the same concerns. Depending on your particular case and your goals, we may be able to complete your treatment in a single visit! The procedure is completely pain-free and can be customized to your needs. It is also a more affordable option compared to veneers and other more complex smile solutions.

We offer a large variety of dental services under one roof at our Winnipeg, MB dentist office, including many restorative dentistry options that can repair teeth.

Let Us Rescue Your Teeth With Root Canals & Dental Crowns

A lot of patients think that needing a root canal is kind of a “worst case” scenario, but really the procedure can save your tooth from an extraction and stop you from feeling any more pain in the damaged tooth.
If you have a tooth that is infected on the inside, we will assess your particular case and plan accordingly using state-of-the-art dental technology, like our digital X-ray machine. Then, we will numb the affected area and use special instruments and techniques to remove the infected soft tissue and nerves from inside your tooth (the root canal portion of your treatment).
In many cases, a tooth is weakened significantly following a root canal because decay and the procedure itself both remove some of your tooth structure. To provide extra strength and protection, we frequently recommend capping your tooth with a crown.
Not only are crowns helpful in protecting teeth, they are also highly convincing in how they work and look. Your crown will also be color-matched to the rest of your teeth so it will blend in seamlessly and be almost impossible to notice.
To provide speedy service, we have invested in a cutting-edge CEREC milling machine at our Winnipeg, MB dental office. This way, we can create your custom tooth restoration in a single appointment instead of having it made by an off-site lab. You’ll walk in with a damaged tooth and able to walk out with a repaired chomper in a single visit!
Our compassionate team cares a great deal about your comfort level when you are visiting us. To make your experience more pleasant, we will offer various amenities to help you relax, including:

If you’ve already lost a tooth, you may be thinking that the damage is done and there’s no point in filling that gap in your smile, but you’d be sorely mistaken.

Get A Dental Bridge To Make Your Smile Whole Again

Perhaps you knocked a tooth out while playing hockey or some other sport where dental injuries are common. Or maybe you’ve had various oral health issues and one of your teeth eventually became so damaged that you had to get a tooth extraction. No matter the cause behind your smile gap, we can help you fill it so you can regain your confidence and chewing power.
Dental bridges are named for the fact that they literally bridge the gap in a smile after a tooth has been lost. They can be used to replace an individual tooth or multiple adjacent missing teeth. They are basically multiple dental crowns that are fused together, with the crowns on either end of the bridge being hollow so they can fit over your teeth on either side of your missing tooth.
To ensure that your tooth replacement fits right into your smile and works great, we will design your bridge to exacting specifications. In most cases, we are able to provide a bridge in as little as two visits.
In order to get a bridge to replace one or more teeth, your surrounding teeth will need to be strong and in good health because they’ll be supporting and holding your bridge in place. We will carefully assess your situation before we begin the process of providing a bridge.
If you assume that your situation can’t or won’t get worse after you lose a tooth, there’s a very good chance you’d be wrong.
For one thing, without a tooth in its normal place, your surrounding teeth will not have a barrier keeping them from drifting out of alignment. If you didn’t already have issues with crooked teeth, you likely will after losing a tooth if you don’t replace it quickly.
A missing tooth also results in your surrounding teeth having to compensate and do more work than they normally would. Losing one or more teeth will actually increase the likelihood of your surrounding teeth becoming weakened and possibly being lost at some point as well.
You may also experience significant discomfort while eating after losing a tooth. Yes, you still have the rest of your teeth, but losing one will make you appreciate how important each one is!
Our friendly team will greet you warmly with bright smiles when you visit Lakewood Dental Centre. We want to help you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you arrive until you leave our office smiling. To help relax you, we offer a few comfort amenities, including:
