Tooth decay and cavities
Tooth deterioration due to bruxism, misaligned bite, or TMJ
Once all the assessments have been completed, each tooth will be examined one by one for chips or cracks that may cause pain. During this time, we will check existing restorations and analyze the condition of your tooth enamel.
We will discuss the findings with you and work closely with you to create an individualized treatment plan.
