Dentistry in Centennial and Denver, CO

Functional Therapy

Migraines, chronic headaches, or muscle pain in the neck and jaws may be caused by functional problems. We use the latest tools of our trade to diagnose and treat neuromuscular disorders and traumatic occlusion to help your mouth function comfortably and correctly.

• Bruxism Appliances
  You may be doing serious damage to your teeth and not even know it. Sleep bruxism, or gnashing and grinding your teeth while asleep, wears teeth down, causes stress cracks and chips, and produces inexplicable face pain and headaches when you wake up. We preserve your teeth with custom-fit oral appliances and night guards to protect your teeth from further damage. If you or someone in your family has a teeth grinding problem, call us right away to schedule a functional exam and put a stop to your destructive pattern.

• TMJ Therapy
  Do you have chronic headaches or even migraines? Your pain may be caused by TMJ disorder, in which the joints connecting your lower jaw to your skull malfunction, either from cartilage damage or muscle spasms. In addition to headaches, you may experience ear pain, lockjaw, or a popping noise when you open your mouth.

• Sleep Apnea Treatment
  A good night's sleep is invaluable. Unfortunately, sleep apnea robs many people of the restorative rest they need for good health. If you snore, or experience persistent daytime drowsiness or memory loss even while devoting adequate time to sleep each night, you may be suffering from sleep apnea. If you are diagnosed with this sleep breathing disorder, Dr. Kevin Berry can prescribe a custom oral appliance to keep you breathing easy throughout the night.

With our intensive training from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, and our proficiency with K7 and TENS technology, we can rescue you from the debilitating effects of TMJ disorders. We partner with a trusted laboratory that creates custom orthotics to ease the pain of migraines caused by TMJ. We take immense pride in our ability to treat TMJ effectively and would love to help you find freedom from chronic pain!
