TMJ Treatment
Our non-surgical TMJ treatment addresses jaw pain, headaches, and clicking through advanced diagnostics and personalized orthotics. Using FDA-approved muscle stimulation devices, we stabilize jaw function and alleviate chronic discomfort. Patients benefit from Dr. Widen's expertise, with testimonials highlighting life-changing outcomes for long-term TMJ sufferers.
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth with natural-looking, permanent solutions. Our process includes bone grafting if needed, followed by precise implant placement and custom crowns. Patients regain confidence in their smile and functionality without removable dentures, supported by Dr. Widen's comprehensive implantology skills.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting crookedness, discoloration, and gaps in two visits. We offer minimal-prep and standard options, tailored to each patient's aesthetic goals. The results provide durable, stain-resistant enhancements that mimic natural tooth structure for a radiant, confident appearance.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC technology enables same-day porcelain crowns without temporary restorations. Using 3D imaging and in-office milling, we create durable, precise restorations in one visit. This eliminates multiple appointments, offering convenience while maintaining high-quality, long-lasting dental solutions.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly with removable, nearly invisible aligners. Custom treatment plans address crowding and spacing issues over six to 18 months. Patients enjoy the flexibility to eat and clean teeth normally, with progress monitored through periodic checkups for optimal alignment.
