Dr. Garza addresses TMJD to stabilize the physiological bite determined through sophisticated tests. Orthotic devices are critical for bite stability because they align the vertebrae in the neck with the dental arches, reducing the amount of labor required by the temporomandibular joints when chewing. Once the muscles have been retrained with the proper orthotic device, controlled arch orthodontics makes these modifications permanent by reconstructing the jaw and the upper and lower dental arches.

Some patients may be concerned about the physical appearance of their smiles, even if their teeth are healthy. Dr. John A. Garza uses cosmetic dentistry to enhance the appearance, but not necessarily the function, of a person's teeth and overall smile. Cosmetic dentistry addresses aesthetic concerns such as discoloration, uneven teeth, improper alignment, and a gummy smile. Dr. Garza offers a number of cosmetic dental procedures in his practice to enhance your smile's overall appearance.

Broken teeth and chipped teeth are frequently the outcomes of poor tooth usage. Using your molars to open bottles, eat ice, and other behaviors can raise your risk of a fractured tooth. The likelihood is that you will ultimately crack or shatter a tooth. At the very least, you'll weaken your teeth in preparation for the future. In some circumstances, if the tooth has been fractured or decay has been left untreated for an extended period of time, an emergency extraction may be necessary. If necessary, Dr. Garza can conduct these extractions as emergency treatments. In some circumstances, root canal therapy will not be able to save the tooth, and it will need to be pulled and replaced with a dental implant in the future.
