TMJ and airway problems are measured, not guessed at. These are the 29 instruments we use to find the cause and track your progress.
Diagnostics & Measurement
Healthy joint surfaces glide almost silently; deteriorated ones create friction that produces measurable vibrations. JVA reads them through ultra-sensitive four-dimensional sensors and plots the patterns in BioPAK™ software. Specific signatures correlate with stages on the Piper scale of TMJ disorders, so the diagnosis rests on data rather than observation.
Measures both the force and the timing of your bite — data articulating paper alone cannot capture. It pinpoints premature contacts and high-force areas so we can balance the bite and protect new restorations. More about T-Scan Novus
Tracks mandibular movement with a 3D optical scanner and target tracking system, recording how the jaw actually travels through opening, closing and chewing.
Measures airflow and resistance through each nasal passage and graphs in real time whether breathing is normal, mildly, moderately or severely obstructed — before and after ENT surgery, and to gauge whether nasal sprays or other treatments are working.
Acoustic measurement of the pharyngeal airway, used to screen patients before a snoring or sleep apnea diagnosis.
Uses laser fluorescence to detect cavities inside the tooth structure and to monitor areas developing beneath the surface.
3D Imaging & Digital Scanning
A single cone-shaped X-ray sweep produces a detailed 3D image of the head and neck while emitting a fraction of the radiation of a conventional medical CT. CBCT lets us assess the temporomandibular joints, the airway and the surrounding structures, revealing nasal blockages or bony changes with minimal exposure.
Digital sensors capture exam data and display it on screen instantly, with less radiation than film.
Intraoral scanning that builds a 3D image of the teeth in minutes — no impression tray.
A fast, accurate way to capture digital impressions, so we can track changes in the teeth and spot concerns over time.
Detailed digital scanning of the teeth and gums that helps patients see and understand the treatment we recommend.
Laser Therapy
The DEKA SmartXide Ultraspeed² CO₂ laser reduces inflammation, relieves muscle tension and improves airway function. Its precise, non-invasive energy promotes healing in TMJ disorders and gently tightens the soft tissues of the throat to ease snoring and mild sleep apnea, with minimal downtime.
Treats craniofacial pain, inflammation and muscle tension by delivering two synchronized wavelengths deep into tissue. At the mitochondrial level that dual-wave energy curbs inflammation, accelerates healing and stimulates cell growth — often shortening treatment time and reducing the need for medication.
A laser treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Gently heating and remodeling the soft tissues of the palate and throat increases airway patency and reduces sleep disturbances — which in turn eases the nighttime clenching and grinding that aggravates TMJ symptoms.
Precise hard- and soft-tissue treatment with improved comfort and, in most cases, minimal downtime.
A dental laser used for certain gum procedures, designed to reduce discomfort and support faster healing.
Appliances & Restorations
Supports same-day restorations: we capture the intraoral scan, design the restoration and send the files straight into the lab workflow.
Produces accurate surgical guides in-house, which improves outcomes for certain procedures.
Fabricates removable appliances — night guards, sports mouthguards and retainers.
A nearly invisible alternative to braces, guiding tooth movement with clear aligners.
A clear aligner system that straightens teeth using custom-fit trays made from Invisalign’s proprietary plastic blend.
Healing & Whole-Body Care
A clinical ozone generator produces ozonated water and oxygen/ozone gas, a microbicide that kills bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans with no toxic byproducts — a painless, minimally invasive complement to many dental and TMJ treatments. More about Ozone Therapy
Concentrated from your own blood and used in selected procedures to support healing and tissue regeneration.
A microcurrent cranial electrotherapy stimulation device, used as a non-drug option for pain, anxiety, depression and insomnia.
A clinical-grade breath and metabolic analysis system that measures how your lungs, heart and metabolism perform during activity, then drives a nutrition and training plan built around your own calorie, macronutrient and fitness needs. More about PNOĒ
KBMO’s Food Inflammation Test identifies delayed food sensitivities and the inflammation behind them across 176 foods, colorings and additives, plus a Gut Barrier Panel. Colour-coded results turn directly into a practical nutrition plan. More about KBMO FIT
Safety & Environment
Air purifiers throughout the practice target airborne viruses and germs, reducing the spread of illness for patients and staff.
During the placement and removal of amalgam fillings this vacuum captures harmful vapours from the breathing zone of the patient, the dentist and the team.
Keeps mercury out of the water system, meeting environmental compliance requirements.
