Dr. Levine Can Strengthen Teeth With Crowns



Do you have a tooth that is suffering from damage or decay? It’s important to make sure it’s repaired to ensure your smile remains healthy. If left alone too long, your tooth could become infected or worse. Crowns are a great cosmetic dentistry solution that Dr. Susan Levine can use to repair your smile.

Crowns are made from porcelain and are fitted over your teeth to protect and prevent further damage or infection. They will be carefully crafted to resemble natural teeth, ensuring a natural looking smile. This is an excellent example of how cosmetic dentistry can help to improve both the function and the appearance of your smile.

If your teeth have become weak or damaged, a crown is a great way to help strengthen them, ensuring they can continue functioning like normal. Also, if your tooth has a large dark spot, a crown can help to cover it up, ensuring a uniform smile appearance.

It is important to make sure that all your teeth are healthy for optimum dental health. Crowns are a great way to repair teeth that have sustained damage or were affected by large cavities. Give us a call today to see how we can help restore your smile.

TMD Therapy for a Comfortable Bite



Are you suffering from painful headaches, jaw pain or teeth grinding? These could be signs of a temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMD. There’s no need to be concerned, because at Dr. Susan Levine’s office we can address these concerns with TMD therapy.

The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw bone to the rest of your skull. If this joint becomes inflamed, it can impact your ability to move your jaw effectively and without discomfort. We offer TMD therapy to help alleviate the discomfort and restore function to your jaw once again. 

We will tailor your treatment to match your needs. Different factors such as the amount and duration of your discomfort and their causes will be taken into consideration. The most important part of TMD therapy is to ensure that your jaw rests. 

Dr. Levine will analyze your smile and make sure you’re properly diagnosed. Then, she’ll come up with a solution for you. You may need to have your bite adjusted, practice stress reduction techniques, use warm compresses, or even perform special muscle stretching exercises.

If you’re suffering from a TMD, give our office a call today. We can help alleviate discomfort and restore normal function to your smile through TMD therapy.
