Entendemos que el frío de New York nos hace apretar los dientes inconscientemente.

Si sientes un dolor punzante cerca del oído que empeora al masticar o hablar, podrías estar sufriendo un trastorno de la ATM exacerbado por las bajas temperaturas de enero.

La evaluación de un cirujano maxilofacial es fundamental para descartar problemas auditivos y tratar el origen real del dolor. ❄️🦷

🛑 El Síntoma: Chasquidos o ruidos al abrir la boca frente al espejo.
🌡️ Efecto Frío: La musculatura facial se contrae, aumentando la presión articular.
🛡️ Prevención: Mantener la zona del cuello y rostro abrigada reduce la tensión muscular.

Bridges destroy your healthy teeth.

Did you know that getting a traditional bridge requires a surgeon to grind down your perfectly healthy natural teeth?

Scientific data shows that when a tooth is missing, the jawbone starts to disappear. A bridge sits on top, but an implant acts like a root, keeping your bone strong and your face youthful.

We offer nearly painless, safe procedures using advanced technology to restore your smile for life, not just for a decade.

We understand that realizing a 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 might be stressful.

While implants have a high success rate, issues like peri-implantitis or lack of bone support can cause complications. As Maxillofacial specialists, we are experts in "rescuing" implants through advanced corrective procedures.

Early intervention is the key to preventing total bone loss and ensuring a long-term, functional solution for your smile.

🦷 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: If the implant moves even slightly, see a surgeon immediately.
🩸 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Red, swollen, or bleeding gums around the metal post are red flags.
⚡ 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻: Throbbing pain while chewing indicates an underlying infection or instability.
🛡️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: We use safe, precise techniques to clean, graft, or replace failing hardware.
