The Center for Neuromuscular Dentistry desires excellent dental health for all of our patients. We achieve this care by incorporating neuromuscular dental concepts. Traditional dentistry only addresses concerns about hard tissues - teeth & joints. Neuromuscular dentistry goes beyond this addressing both hard tissues and more importantly soft tissues: muscles & nerves.

When harmony of the teeth, the facial muscles and the jaw exist our patients not only find relief from TMD symptoms but also a significant increase in the longevity of needed restorations and natural dentition.

                         Our neuromuscular staff is headed by Dr. Inna Shturman and Dr. Charles Benavidez. Dr. Inna and                            Dr. Charles along with staff members have been trained in neuromuscular concepts at the prestigious LV                               Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. We utilize the latest in both dental and medical technology.                                 This post graduate training and technology are essential in determining the optimum objective                                physiological rest position of the jaw. This proper rest position is imperative to alleviating chronic                         pain and other symptoms along with any needed restoration.
