When You Visit Us, Our First Goal is to Create a Feeling of Trust
It comes down to a feeling of trust. Our job is to listen to you, respect you, educate you and not judge your decisions. Dr. Taub understands you might be anxious about the process of receiving dental care. Therefore, he makes it a point to explain your proposed treatment plan carefully and unhurriedly answer all your questions.
Only then will he take you gently through your treatment. Modern dentistry has many techniques, local anesthetics and relaxation methods to increase your comfort. The more involved you are in making dental health decisions, the less room there is for fear and uncertainty.
Do You Have Sore Jaws or Worn Teeth?
These symptoms are commonly referred to as TMJ (temporomandibular joint), or TMD (temporomandibular dysfunction. It happens when the teeth, muscles and jaw joints are not working together harmoniously. Millions of people suffer from TMJ/TMD. With Dr. Taub's treatment, pain is relieved, and teeth, muscles and jaw joint function is restored.
Breakthrough Cures Loose, Slipping Dentures
Have you been told you can’t have implants? If you hate your dentures because they slip, tilt or wander then you will be happy to know there is a permanent non-surgical solution at a third of the cost of standard dental implants. They are called “mini implants.” Mini-implants securely anchor your dentures, virtually eliminating slippage and trapped food. They are placed in one visit. You can look forward to eating the same day you receive them. Additionally, they can often be placed where regular implants cannot, so you can often receive the benefits of mini-implants even if you are not a candidate for regular implants.
Healthy Gums - More Than Just A Healthy Smile
A healthy smile begins with healthy gums. Did you know that periodontal (gum) disease is the most common bacterial infection in adults, affecting 35.7 million Americans? Periodontal disease is the #1 cause of tooth loss, and recent research links untreated periodontal disease with heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Regular checkups and a cleaning process called planing and scaling can be very effective in fighting gum disease. In our practice, when we provide these services, we supplement this treatment with an antibiotic called Arestin. Application of Arestin during planing and root scaling not only fights the bacteria that causes gum disease on that day, but continues to fight infection for weeks after your visit.
Do You Regularly Suffer From Tension or Even Migraine Headaches? Have We Got a Miracle For You!
You may have heard Diane Sawyer discuss this on Good Morning America, or maybe you've seen this in People Magazine. The FDA approved a new drug-free treatment for the prevention of migraine and tension headaches. This little miracle is called the NTI device, and it's now available in our practice.
It works by relaxing the muscles under the scalp and preventing the majority of headaches. Clinical trials showed that 82% of migraine sufferers achieved a 77% reduction in migraine events. It's painless, fast and NOT expensive. If you experience migraines or know someone who does then be sure to ask us about this exciting new treatment.
The Laser Scanner Finds Ultrasmall Cavities Years Earlier
If you are like most of us, you’ve had the dentist find a cavity, place a rather large filling, and wondered why the filling is so large if the cavity wasn’t there just six months before. The answer is that the cavity was there six months before — it just wasn’t big enough to show on x-rays, and it wasn’t visible to the dentist yet. The Laser Scanner finds cavities years earlier, when the ultra-small cavity can be repaired with a small invisible bonded filling.
Our office features the Intra-Oral Camera
A miniature video camera that displays a close-up picture of the inside of your mouth. You can see for yourself what work needs to be done and which teeth are doing fine.
