Orofacial Pain Treatment Boston

Orofacial pain is a new field of dentistry dedicated to helping patients through the diagnosis and treatment of pain affecting the head, neck, and face. It includes the conservative treatment of TMD/TMJ including self-management at home by the patient, TMD splints (also called mandibular orthopedic repositioning appliances) and physical therapy. In addition, orofacial pain dentists treat headaches such as migraine, neuralgias such as trigeminal neuralgia, and toothaches of nondental origin, which are toothaches that have not responded to usual dental treatments.

Periodontics and Implant Dentistry Boston

Periodontics is the specialty of dentistry dedicated to helping patients retain their natural teeth and to replace teeth with dental implants when necessary. Periodontal disease is usually treated conservatively with deep scaling, root planning, oral or topical antibiotics, and good oral hygiene practiced at home by the patient. If needed, periodontists perform periodontal surgery that may include bone recontouring, bone grafts, and gingival (gum) grafts. For patients who are having the front teeth treated cosmetically, periodontists work help the patient’s primary care dentist by performing periodontal plastic surgery to make the gingival tissue looks as natural as new teeth.

When dental implants are needed periodontists perform ridge augmentation bone grafts, sinus augmentation (sinus lift) surgery and placement of titanium dental implants. Periodontists collaborate with a patient’s personal primary care dentist to create a hopefully permanent, cosmetic dentition.
