BEAUTIFUL TEETH THAT ARE ALWAYS COMFORTABLE!

CAN'T GET USED TO YOUR CROWNS?

Do you have a filling, a crown, an implant or a bridge that just doesn't feel right? You cannot get used to it, isn't it? They told you it does take some more time to get used to it! Well, the truth is that if the dentist wants to talk you into getting used to his dental work, the case may be that his work is not right! That's actually a fact! 

THE PARADOX OF MODERN DENTAL TECHNOLOGY: YOU CANNOT SEE WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.

Dentistry today has evolved so much and with all the technology, new materials, implants, dentists can now have impressive results. And they should have but the reality is different. Unfortunately, if you fall in the hands of a dentist that does not fully

understand how the whole masticatory system works, the technology will just enable him to be more proficient in doing the wrong thing and screw up mouths faster. The problem starts with the fact that most dentists do not get proper training on how the total masticatory system works, they do not have an adequate understanding of occlusion, its relationship with TMJ (temporal mandibular muscles) because they just don't learn that in school. But then this means that they cannot be predictive in their work, they cannot (always) do dentistry that is comfortable and functional.

THE FREE 15 MINUTES DENTAL EXAM: OR FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL

By embracing the concepts of Complete Dentistry in our practice, we have in place all the steps and procedures by which we are able to develop a clear picture of what a stable and healthy masticatory system looks like. The starting point in our practice is a comprehensive dental exam by which we understand where you stand in terms of your oral health. This is a detailed exam that lasts about 90 minutes in which we can address all your dental problems and concerns. Then, based on that, Dr. Johanna Malita will make a comprehensive treatment plan, with the primary goal of getting your mouth healthy, determining any causes/signs of instability. Our primary goal is to get

your mouth in a healthy and comfortable condition by understanding occlusion, and what it takes to have your occlusion in harmony with your joints and muscles. Then we put the teeth into this setting to bring long time stability and comfort into your life. 


So, if you experience any pain or discomfort related to your previous dental works, these would be the steps we would follow in order to determine the root cause of the problem. This is the key to predictable success in dentistry, even if you have to do a single filling or a crown, it doesn't matter. When it does really matter is when you have more complex cases, multiple restorations on implants, total mouth reconstructions. Then all this very scientifically supported, very precise method of doing predictable quality dentistry brings its fruits both for the patients and for the dentist and technicians, by enabling them to really achieve great results and restorations that are long lasting and comfortable.

HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD DENTIST?

Dr. Peter Dawson, the founder of Dawson Academy and the person who introduced the term of complete dentistry, explains in one of his articles what it means to be a good dentist. A good tooth dentist should first understand the temporomandibular joints, then he should understand occlusion and how anterior guidance works. But if a dentist does not understand how all the parts of the masticatory system fit together and relate to the neuromuscular system then he can’t be any better than a mediocre dentist.

While this may be a very technical and difficult to comprehend guideline on how to choose a good dentist, we can translate it in more simple terms: Don't let yourself fooled by all the high-tech gadget-filled dental offices with luxurious spa waiting rooms and armies of dental assistants and receptionist waiting for you in a comfortable setting. It is not bad to have all that and you do need the latest technology if you want to do good dentistry but technology will not do the work for you and it only takes a credit card to accomplish all that. To be a good dentist you need more than a credit card, you need to put in allot of effort, you need to be passionate

about your work, committed to excellence and always looking for improvement through continuing education. Now, if you haven’t found your dentist yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. You’ll know when you have found it.
