Services
Arch Development
Arch Development corrects underdeveloped dental arches using removable appliances like the DNA Appliance. This non-surgical approach creates space for straight teeth while improving facial aesthetics and airway health. Ideal for children, teens, and adults seeking alternatives to tooth extraction.
DNA Appliance
The DNA Appliance gently reshapes dental arches by stimulating natural growth potential. Worn 12-17 hours daily, it avoids surgery and extractions while enhancing TMJ function, sleep breathing, and facial symmetry for patients of all ages.
Pinhole Surgical Technique
This minimally invasive procedure treats gum recession with no incisions or sutures. Using collagen grafts, it restores receded tissue quickly, reducing sensitivity and improving smile aesthetics with faster recovery than traditional grafting.
Crowns
Custom zirconia or lithium disilicate crowns restore damaged teeth with durability and natural aesthetics. These biocompatible caps protect weakened teeth after root canals or large fillings while maintaining long-term oral health.
Epigenetic Orthodontics
Epigenetic Orthodontics aligns teeth by optimizing facial bone development. This method avoids extractions, enhancing airway function and TMJ health while creating balanced, lasting smiles through growth-stimulating appliances.
