Teeth and gums are likely to be at the front of your mind when you visit the dentist. You may think about a tooth cleaning by a dental hygienist, a dental checkup to look for tooth decay and gum disease, fillings, crowns, or other restorative procedures.
These are all important, but TruDenta can make your trip to our Raleigh, NC office even more valuable. The TruDenta System can treat head, neck, face, and jaw pain from a variety of causes, such as TMJ, migraines, and aging. These are the steps in the TruDenta treatment process that can help you find a solution to your pain.
Undergo diagnostic tests.
As a TruDenta-trained practice, Dr. Gregory Weaver and our team will examine the forces that affect your head, neck, teeth, and jaw. We also investigate symptoms such as pain, clicking and popping, breaking teeth, and ringing of the ears. TruDenta technology painlessly analyzes your bite to measure jaw forces and determine which forces are contributing to your symptoms. It also measures the motion of your head and neck. Taken together, these forces may be contributing to your pain. TruDenta dentists design a treatment plan based on these findings.
Attend one or more treatment sessions.
Your specific treatment plan is customized to your needs. Most patients need between one and 12 treatments, with each session lasting 50 minutes. You attend appointments weekly, so a 12-treatment plan would take about three months to complete. You don’t need to worry about painful treatments, drugs with side effects, or needles during your TruDenta treatments.
Nobody should be forced to live with chronic pain, but you may feel as though you have no choice if you’ve already gone to multiple doctors because of neck, jaw, face, and head pain. With an initial consultation and diagnosis and a few treatment sessions, we may be able to help you get rid of your pain.
