Patient Education
At Developmental Dentistry, our mission is to provide holistic wellness and therapies for individuals of all ages, focusing on issues related to craniofacial underdevelopment, TMJ pain, and sleep-disordered breathing. We blend advanced dental techniques with a thorough understanding of craniofacial biology to offer effective compassionate care.
For those looking to deepen their understanding of these areas, Here are some suggested books and resources. You can find insightful reads on craniofacial development, the complexities of TMJ disorders, and the multifaceted nature of sleep-disordered breathing. These books generally cover the latest research in dental health, offer practical advice for managing specific conditions, and explore the broader implications of oral health on overall well-being. Reading such literature can provide valuable perspectives that align with and enhance the services we offer at Developmental Dentistry.

Our office is equipped with a variety of top-tier technology to help us optimize our treatment and provide the best experience possible for our patients.
Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ 3D
is a scientifically proven low-dose imaging method for CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging, helping clinicians adhere to the ALADA (As Low As Diagnostically Acceptable) principle. The image quality of this method is kept at a diagnostically acceptable level all while decreasing exposure values and patient dose. This provides an optimal balance between image quality and patient dose that makes the scientifically proven Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D method ideal for a wide range of clinical cases, including orthodontics and implant planning.
Trios’ 3-Shape Intraoral Scanner
allows patients to view intricate oral impressions on a digitally enhanced screen in both 3D and color. This non-invasive treatment provides patients with a detailed view of their oral health through a quick scan instead of a messy impression. This method gives rapid, precise results for rapid, precise treatment that can be fully understood by the patients receiving it.
Fotona Laser Therapy
is the ideal solution for pain reduction and wound healing, especially for treating TMJ, facial pain, and sleep apnea. The photobiomodulation (PBM) provides a non-invasive, clinically proven solution for reducing and managing pain, including highly effective, fast and simple, and patient- and practitioner-friendly procedures. PBM uses low-level, visible-red to near-infrared light energy to simulate cells to heal naturally, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. The process also results in the stimulation of cell metabolism and micro-circulation, accelerated tissue regeneration, and increased lymphatic flow.
