Do you experience jaw pain, clicking sounds, difficulty chewing, or chronic headaches? Do you or your partner struggle with loud snoring or disrupted sleep? These could be signs of TMJ disorders (TMD) or sleep apnea. At Pristine Smiles Dental Care, we offer advanced TMJ treatments and snoring solutions to help you enjoy a pain-free jaw and restful sleep.
What Are TMJ & Snoring Disorders?
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder (TMD): A condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, causing pain and dysfunction.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea: Blocked airways during sleep lead to snoring and breathing interruptions, affecting sleep quality.
We start with a detailed examination and digital X-rays to assess the health of your teeth and gums. Based on your needs, we’ll discuss whether a crown or bridge is the best option.

Tooth Preparation
2
For crowns and traditional bridges, the abutment teeth are reshaped to create space for the crown. For implant-supported bridges, dental implants may need to be placed.
step 3
Impressions and Customization
3
We take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fit crown or bridge that matches your bite and smile.
step 4
Temporary Crown/Bridge

A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent restoration is being crafted.
step 5
Placement of Permanent Crown/Bridge

Once the permanent crown or bridge is ready, it is bonded to your tooth or implant using a strong dental adhesive. We check for proper fit, alignment, and comfort before finalizing the placement.
