Neuromuscular dentistry allows Dr. Richard Dervin to approach your care and treatment with a broader, "whole body" focus. Traditional Kansas City dentistry assumes that your current bite, the way that your teeth fit together, is right for you. Often, this is not the case. Rather than assuming that your present jaw position is optimal, Dr. Dervin, dentist in Shawnee, KS and Kansas City TMJ specialist, uses specialized equipment to study the pattern of your jaw movements and then can diagnose the exact cause and nature of the problem, which allows us to determine the proper course of treatment.

Starting with hygiene and right down to the proper function of your teeth, jaws and muscles, we want to ensure your robust health - dental and otherwise.  

Beautiful and durable, they are formed in our Olathe area dentistry office by Dr. Dervin to fit and fill most types of cavities and are almost impossible to distinguish from natural teeth. Think of them as a small piece of a jigsaw puzzle that fits exactly into the over all picture to create a beautiful design.

Following a bonding procedure, inlays and onlays by Dr. Dervin are now permanently a part of your tooth's design, restoring it to full use and pristine beauty. If your old metal fillings are making your smile unattractive and dark, we can easily replace them with attractive porcelain alternatives.

Recent modern advances have increased the strength, durability and longevity of these restorations. These bonding materials can be molded and shaped to attain outstanding results, including: teeth lightening, closing spaces between teeth, repairing chips and cracks and making teeth appear straighter. When polished, Kansas City area dental bonding gives the appearance and function of natural tooth structure.

When more extensive restoration is needed, smile design provided by our Kansas City dentistry along with other advanced services can put your smile back where it belongs, front and center!
