CEREC® 3D restoration: once your cavity or filling has been removed, the surface of your tooth is sprinkled with CEREC® powder. Using an intraoral laser camera, we obtain a digital image that we transfer to the computer. Using the CEREC® 3D computer program, the restoration of your tooth is planned using 3D drawings. The information is then relayed to a separate milling machine to create the restoration (it takes 8 to 18 minutes depending on its complexity). The restoration is tried in your mouth to ensure proper fit, bonded to your prepared tooth with a high-strength cement, and polished.

These are disorders involving the jaw joint. Symptoms can range from mild cracking of the jaw to severe back pain, muscle and joint pain, tinnitus, and inability to open the mouth. These symptoms are explained by muscle spasms that result from repeated tightening of the muscles and/or teeth.

Symptoms are sporadic and can vary. Often affecting only one side of the face, the pain and tightness appear upon awakening or during and after a period of stress. In most cases, the disorders are explained by muscle tension, anatomical problems or injuries.

Neuromuscular treatment loosens the muscles that control the alignment of the jaw in order to establish a relaxed position on which your procedures will be based. This technique encompasses not only the teeth, but also the condition and function of the jaw muscles and joints before, during, and after a procedure. Neuromuscular treatments take into account the entire system that affects the alignment of your jaw (teeth, muscles and joints) and help optimize dental procedures and provide valuable information for treating complex cases. Dr. Nathalie Vachon is trained and equipped to diagnose and treat TMJ disorders. Non-invasive tests can quickly establish if muscle tension is the cause of your pain and if a dental procedure is recommended to resolve the problem.
