There is an inextricable relationship between the head and the rest of the body. The mechanisms that make up the teeth and jaws can also influence an individual’s facial development, breathing, posture, and musculature. Conventional dentistry methods treat the teeth and gums in isolation, so they fail to consider the total body health of a patient.
By examining these elements during a careful consultation, Dr. Roland seeks to determine the root cause of a problem and develop a comprehensive solution, rather than blindly treating symptoms without addressing the underlying issues.
This can allow patients to receive effective care that is designed to prevent complications in the long-run, whether they are being treated for TMJ Disorder or sleep apnea, or simply undergoing smile rejuvenation or a routine check-up.
We call it transformative dentistry, because taking a “whole body” approach to find your most effective treatment will achieve your dream smile while improving your oral and overall health. This is precision, custom, corrective care designed to restore optimal function – not manage decline. For patients who value long-term health, prevention, and structural integrity, this care becomes not only worthwhile, but irreplaceable.
How Do My Teeth Affect My Entire Body?
A poorly aligned jaw or improper bite can create a domino effect to your facial appearance, you may not even be aware that the aesthetic changes you experience are connected to your oral health.
The mouth is not isolated from the body. It is the gateway to breathing, sleep, neurological regulation, posture, facial development, and long-term vitality. Our work addresses the root anatomical drivers of dysfunction- airway restriction, skeletal misalignment, fascial tension, and compensatory patterns that affect the entire body.
3D X-Rays Uncover the Real Cause and Effects
Cosmetic concerns, such as chips in the enamel, gaps between teeth, and tooth misalignments, can affect your bite and jaw function in a number of ways that you may not expect.
Our practice utilizes the advanced Q3D CBCT 3D Imaging System in conjunction with treatment planning to better understand how different aesthetic imperfections may be impacting the joints, muscles, and soft tissues of your skeletal structure and influencing your physiological well-being.
With the ability to provide high-resolution, three-dimensional x-rays of your face and jaw, this state-of-the-art technology allows our team to more accurately assess the nature of your concerns and develop a comprehensive treatment plan to provide beautiful results.
