TMJ therapy helps fix jaw pain, clicking, and headaches caused by jaw joint and muscle issues. We can offer custom night guards to protect your teeth from grinding, bite adjustments, and other treatments to reduce pain and improve jaw function, helping you feel better!
Being dragged in by your partner who is sick of you snoring? Want to wake feeling more refreshed so you can live your best life?
At Mersey Dental, we offer effective, non-invasive solutions for sleep apnea and snoring.
We provide a thorough screening, and if needed, can refer you for a sleep study to confirm any underlying issues. If suitable, we can provide you with custom-made devices that gently reposition your jaw to support your airway during sleep—perfect for mild to moderate sleep apnea or snoring. These discreet, comfortable dental devices fit your lifestyle and keep your smile healthy.
We also discuss lifestyle tips to help you sleep better and if you don’t want CPAP therapy or to wear a mouthguard – perhaps it’s worth trying our specialised laser therapy!
We offer specialised treatment for lip and tongue ties, conditions where the frenulum (the band of tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the gums or mouth) is unusually tight or restrictive. This can interfere with oral function, causing difficulty with feeding, speaking, eating, licking, tooth position of permanent teeth and even proper oral hygiene.
If you or your child are experiencing symptoms related to lip or tongue ties, contact us for an assessment. Our team is here to provide expert care and help restore normal oral function. Unfortunately we are currently unable to provide this service for infants.
Symptoms of Lip or Tongue Tie:
WHAT TO EXPECT (30-45 min appointment)
Frenectomy:
Typically quick and minimally invasive, where the restrictive frenulum is gently laser-treated to release tension, allowing improved movement of the lip or tongue. We use advanced laser techniques for maximum comfort and precision.
Post-Procedure Care:
We provide guidance on post-procedure care to promote healing, prevent reattachment, and ensure optimal recovery. This may include exercises to improve muscle function and prevent further restrictions.
Protect that gorgeous smile with our high quality, custom-fit mouthguards! Say goodbye to uncomfortable, ill-fitting store-bought versions. Our team creates a personalized fit that ensures maximum protection and comfort. Keep your teeth safe and your smile shining with a custom mouthguard today!
