FAQs

What is neuromuscular dentistry?

Neuromuscular dentistry is a style of dentistry that focuses on the health and function of the jaw joints, teeth, and muscles. As a neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Wagner recognizes that 90% of dental pain is related to the facial muscles. He works toward creating balance so that the joints, muscles, and nerves can function harmoniously. Using the principles of neuromuscular dentistry, Dr. Wagner can alleviate many symptoms, including teeth grinding, migraines, muscle pain, vertigo, and tingling in the extremities.

How does the PX3 work?

The PX3 (PX3 Blog) applies the principles of neuromuscular dentistry to reduce jaw tension and improve strength, focus, and endurance. The PX3 Blog aligns the jaw and the spine so your mind can relax and focus more of its attention on the task at hand. Professional athletes in sports ranging from golf to surfing to boxing use the PX3 Blog to boost their performance and give themselves a competitive edge.

What is an all-porcelain smile makeover?

An all-porcelain smile makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic treatment that involves the placement of porcelain veneers.

What does CEREC stand for?

CEREC stands for CERamic REConstruction. It relies on CAD/CAM technology – Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Milling. This is the same technology used in architecture and many other applications. CEREC allows Dr. Wagner to design and create an all-ceramic, reinforced porcelain crown in a single visit. With CEREC, there are no messy impressions and no second visit.
