Treating Dental Concerns in New York, NY

Teeth Grinding

Do you often catch yourself clenching or grinding your teeth? You may have bruxism, a condition characterized by those two conditions. Bruxism may be caused by crooked teeth, a misaligned bite, or stress and anxiety. Many people may not realize they are grinding their teeth because bruxism often occurs unconsciously during sleep or in stressful situations. Behavior modification or oral appliances can be used to stop teeth clenching and grinding.

Headaches

Do you suffer from chronic headaches? You may have a TMJ disorder or bruxism. Temporomandibular joint disorders can cause pain in the jaw joint and muscles. Some causes of TMJ disorders include stress, jaw misalignment, or tooth injury. Oral appliances are a great treatment option that can help take the pressure off of the jaw and keep teeth from grinding together, also known as bruxism. Learn about your TMJ treatment options.

Crooked Teeth

Are you looking for a straighter smile? Clear braces and porcelain veneers are great cosmetic treatments for correcting crooked teeth. It may be difficult to clean between crooked or misaligned teeth, so it is important to straighten them with clear aligners to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Dental veneers are a solution used to brighten teeth and make them look more uniform.

Sleep Apnea

Oral appliance therapy and types of airway dentistry are effective solutions that we offer for mild and moderate cases of sleep apnea. Waking up during the middle of the night to catch your breath can be scary, and our dental experts are here to help. Snoring and reoccurring headaches can be signs of sleep apnea. If left untreated, this disorder can increase your risk of stroke, heart attack, and other heart problems. A proper diagnosis and the right treatment can help reduce your risk of developing more difficulties. Dr. Gorsky is trained in airway dentistry, which is a multidisciplinary approach to the oral-systemic connection between your mouth and body and how it relates to sleep-disordered breathing, sleep apnea, and airway deficiency.
