Dental implants offer a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Our implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They not only restore the aesthetics of your smile but also prevent bone loss, enhancing facial structure and oral health. Our dentist, Dr. John Tucker, has placed hundreds of implants in his career and is renowned for his prosthetic skills.

The best TMJ treatment is one that is customized to your specific condition and needs. We focus on a personalized approach to TMJ treatment, combining detailed diagnosis with targeted therapy options. Our treatments may include custom-fitted oral appliances designed to alleviate discomfort and improve jaw function by reducing strain on the TMJ. Our holistic approach aims not only to relieve symptoms but also to address the underlying causes of TMJ disorders.
While sleep apnea is a chronic condition often requiring ongoing management, certain treatments can significantly reduce or even eliminate its symptoms. We use Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) for sleep apnea, offering a non-invasive and effective alternative to CPAP machines. Although OAT may not “cure” sleep apnea for every patient, it can lead to a substantial improvement in sleep quality and overall health.

Life Is Better With
TMJ Treatment
Living with TMJ disorder can significantly affect your daily life, from chronic pain to difficulty eating and speaking. We believe life is better with effective TMJ treatment. Our tailored approach focuses on alleviating the discomfort and restoring the function of your jaw with personalized, non-invasive therapies. Using custom-fitted oral appliances, our Erie dentist can reposition your jaw to relieve the stress on your TMJ, reducing pain and improving overall jaw function. Treating TMJ not only enhances your quality of life by eliminating pain and discomfort but also prevents further dental issues that can arise from untreated TMJ disorders. With our specialized TMJ treatment, patients can experience a return to normalcy, enjoying daily activities without the constant interruption of TMJ-related discomfort.
