Without a doubt, dentistry has evolved over the centuries.
Archeological finds suggest that ancient Egyptian physicians were
performing rudimentary oral surgery procedures. Perhaps you can picture
in your mind's eye the wild west barber/dentist administering whiskey
shots to anesthetize patients prior to tooth extractions.
Today, approximately 35 million people in the United States suffer
from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, commonly known as TMJ. There are
many unknowns and misunderstandings regarding TMJ, but it is not
untreatable.
How do you know if you have TMJ? Symptoms include, but are not
limited to: neck & shoulder pain, popping or grating of the jaw,
grinding of the teeth, ringing in the ears, ear pain, chronic headaches,
worn, chipped or lose teeth and dizziness.
Whether you want to change the look of all your front teeth or just a
few, cosmetic dentist, Dr. Carpenter will design smile restorations that
dramatically change how you feel about your appearance.
Our dentist brings the highest quality cosmetic training and passion for
artistry together in each unique smile design.
