The temporomandibular joint, more commonly known as the TMJ, is a hinge that connects the lower jaw to the skull; it is what allows your mouth to open and close and move side to side smoothly. It connects just in front of the ear on each side of your head and is attached to muscles that control your mouthÕs movement. You can feel these joints working by placing your fingers directly in front of your ears and opening and closing your mouth. Are your headaches migraines or TMJ? Many people who experience unexplained headaches, earaches, neck pain, jaw pain, vertigo or shoulder/arm pain do not realize that these symptoms are due to the inflammation in their JAW JOINT resulting in Temporomandibular Joint Disorders. If you have symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) contact our office today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Falender.
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. This revolutionary prosthesis is a small, medical-grade titanium post that is inserted into the jaw and supports the replacement crown. Dental implants are an excellent restorative option because they allow patients to maintain the health of their adjacent teeth, increase dental stability, decrease bone loss, and enhance their smile. This long-term solution can last a lifetime if you take care of the dental implant and assist in keeping your mouth healthy. After the procedure is complete, and your surgical sites have healed, you will be able to easily care for your dental implants just like your natural teeth. If you would like to find out if you are a candidate for dental implant surgery, contact Indianapolis Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center and schedule a consultation today!
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, develop and grow into the very back of the jaw during late adolescence or early adulthood. Although this is completely normal, the average adult mouth is not large enough to accommodate these extra teeth and requires their removal. If left untreated, wisdom teeth can cause complications like chronic pain, impaction, and potential disease. To combat these problems, studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment result in a superior outcome for the patient. Through an oral examination and an x-ray of the mouth and jaw, Dr. Falender can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and make a professional recommendation for treatment. At Indianapolis Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, you will receive a detailed consultation, prompt treatment, and an optimal surgical outcome. Call us today to schedule your appointment.
The All-on-4® Treatment Concept is a revolutionary solution for patients who have lost or are in the process of losing all of their upper or lower teeth. This treatment method restores the look, strength, and function of the patient’s mouth with four permanent implants that are fixed to a replacement denture. Prior to the All-on-4® Treatment Concept, patients can expect to undergo consultations to allow Dr. Falender to gather information for a comprehensive treatment plan. After a brief healing period, your final permanent denture is placed! At Indianapolis Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, our patients experience numerous benefits from choosing the All-on-4® Ttreatment Concept for dental restoration.
