Neuromuscular Dentistry is not a familiar dental approach for many people. Specific, post-graduate training is required to fully qualify a dentist for it, and Dr. Roper has completed that training. Do you have unexplained headaches? Sore jaws or unexplained chips in some teeth? A misaligned jaw joint can cause many painful symptoms and sometimes people live with them for years without ever discovering their cause. A neuromuscular dentist examines and treats not just gums and teeth, but also the jaw joint and its related structures – jaw muscles, nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and other soft tissue. This is an enlarged view of dentistry which even considers your general health along with your dental health. At Roper Aesthetic Dentistry we have specialized technology for treating neuromuscular symptoms and relieving the pain.

Headaches and Migraines are one of the most common and painful symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ). Dr. Roper can diagnose and treat this condition of the jaw joints and correct a “bad bite” which otherwise might continue to give you ever more painful and frequent headaches. The jaw joints are delicate structures and can be suddenly knocked, or slowly pushed, out of alignment. Whatever might have caused a person’s TMJ, the pain can fill the head, ears, and face, extend to the neck and shoulders, and even affect the hands and fingers. Every case of TMJ is unique, and so is every TMJ treatment plan.

Many of us snore occasionally, but when snoring becomes a regular night-time activity, disturbing others and causing you to wake up tired and irritable, it’s time to look into it. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a disorder where the airway is blocked during sleep, leading to sleep deprivation and other health problems. Dr. Roper can diagnose and treat this condition and help you to make it a thing of the past. Read more on our Snoring page.

General Dentistry has progressed enormously in recent years, from the near-miracle effects of computers and lasers. Dental health is essential for your smile to be beautiful, and the secret of dental health is decay prevention, or at least very early decay detection. Roper Aesthetic dentistry has invested in the latest and best equipment for early caries detection, and we also offer other General Dentistry services such as breath treatment and dental implants.

In a beautiful smile, we see the outside surfaces of teeth, but their beauty depends on the interior health of each tooth. Endodontics is the dentistry which repairs a tooth’s interior and if necessary removes damaged tissue and replaces it. Root canal therapy is no longer the procedure our grandparents used to dread. With modern dental technology, and the advanced training dentists like Dr. Roper have achieved, endodontic work can be done much more quickly and effectively and painlessly than in past years.

Crowded, misaligned teeth can lead to dental ill-health. They can be hard to clean effectively, they can knock against each other when you close your mouth, wearing each other down prematurely, and they can put chronic stress on the jaw muscles, causing many painful symptoms. Modern cosmetic dentistry offers Invisalign, a convenient alternative to traditional braces, and Dr. Roper can explain how this would work for you.

Many people prevaricate, procrastinate, and postpone their dental visits because of anxiety and fear. This delay causes dental problems to worsen, which in turn will increase anxiety, causing more delay, and so it goes. You can break out of this cycle by realizing that most modern dentists offer Sedation Dentistry. This is more than just a pill or an injection; although it includes those. It’s an entire dental approach. Roper Aesthetic Dentistry offers a welcoming and comfortable environment, a sympathetic understanding of dental anxiety, and effective medication to relax and calm you. You can take it before you leave home. Have someone give you a ride, and by the time you arrive, you’ll be pleasantly drowsy and unworried. If you have extra-sensitive teeth, we will stop, give you extra anesthetic, and wait until it takes effect before continuing with your treatment.

Tooth Whitening is the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure. We offer a fast in-office treatment if your schedule is busy, and take-home kits if you’d rather do it at home. For the take-home kits we will make you a pair of custom-fitted trays, and give you professional-strength whitening gel. Results will be far superior to anything achieved by an over-the-counter product. The in-office treatment transforms your smile in an hour or so.
