For over a decade I have served as a health practitioner in the field of GNM ​(Gneuromuscular) dentistry. As a recognized GNM dentist both national and international I have been able to provide my patients a lasting transformation from their lifelong battle with TMJD (Temporo-Mandibular-Joint-Disorder) by taking a comprehensive approach in combining restorative, TMJ and orthopedic/orthodontics.

“This has been an important part of my professional career to remain a general practitioner so I can provide my patients with comprehensive treatment and not to be bound by the boundaries of one specialty. ”

​Objective Measuring Technology-"​If it is measured it is a fact​!"​

​Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is defined as a group of clinical problems that involve the masticatory muscles, the tempormandibular joint (TMJ), and the associated structures such as the dentition and neuromuscular system complex. Problems such as: 

• headaches 
• facial pain 
• unexplained tooth pain,
• clicking and popping of the joints 
• neck and shoulder pain 
• lower back pain 
• vertigo 
• ringing in the ears 
• pressure behind  the eyes 

When rendering dental restorative treatment, orthodontics and TMJ treatment one must take into consideration the current biting surface condition, the status of the muscles of the face, neck and shoulders and jaw joint position.

Gneuromuscular Dentistry

​Gneuromuscular dentistry is a combined understanding and application of skill sets required to effectively treat the more complex cases. "It’s Dentistry that focuses on body alignment, optimal mandibular function and accurate occlusion that results in optimal form."

It encompasses the philosophy of gnatholgy (study of the jaw) and Neuromuscular dentistry. It is about occlusion and it’s relationship to the trigeminal system as it relates to the postural system.
