Why Complete Dentistry Matters
Fixing the function or appearance of a single tooth can treat the problem at hand. However, simply repairing a cracked tooth does not address why, or how this tooth became cracked. Does the patient grind their teeth? Do they have TMJ? Is their bite misaligned? Repairing a broken tooth, with out first addressing the cause of the crack, may lead to the need for dental maintenance care in the future. No one wants to repeatedly return to the dentist spending extra time and money to fix the same dental concern.
Dr. Cobb addresses the underlying health and functional concerns affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw as a part of his holistic approach to dental care. Using state of the art dental technology like the T-Scan, Dr. Cobb can thoroughly analyze the function and health of the site and connected tissues and muscles. Many dental concerns such as chipped or cracked teeth, excessively worn teeth, or even missing teeth are often a result of a misaligned or malfunctioning jaw joint. Realigning the jaw can make the bit more comfortable and protect teeth and gums from future damage.
