Dr. Russell Chin helps patients in Pawtucket, RI find relief from TMJ pain with latest technology

Pawtucket, RI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/02/2016 -- Pawtucket, RI dentist Dr. Russell Chin is utilizing the latest technology to help patients struggling with temporomandibular joint disorder find relief from jaw and facial pain. With MLS Laser Therapy, Dr. Chin offers painless, non-invasive treatment that helps mitigate the painful muscle spasms related to TMJ disorder.

Studies show that more than 15 percent of adults in America suffer from chronic facial pain as a result of disorders of the temporomandibular joint. These patients usually experience chronic headaches, aching of the jaw, pain in the jaw when chewing, biting, or yawning, pain in or around the ear, difficulty opening or closing the mouth, and especially clenching or grinding their teeth at night.

MLS Laser Therapy has been cleared by the FDA for the use of non-invasive pain reduction that provides long-lasting results. This technology provides immediate relief for patients experiencing pain through the use of light energy. The device uses two types of light energy, one type that treats pain and another that treats inflammation. Together, these two light energies trigger the production of endorphins in the cells with anti-inflammatory properties that help fight infection. The light energy also stimulates healing by increasing blood flow.

Receiving MLS Laser Therapy treatment is simple and painless. It involves simply holding a handheld device next to the area of the face or jaw that is experiencing pain as the light energy is administered. Dr. Chin works with each patient individually to develop a treatment plan that takes into account their unique needs and situation.

In addition to offering laser therapy for patients struggling with TMJ pain, Dr. Chin and his staff also offer many other dental services such as preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, Invisalign, endodontics, sleep apnea treatment, and same-day crowns. The entire staff is committed to providing patients with personalized service in a comfortable, welcoming environment.

Pawtucket, RI Dentist Dr. Russell Chin offers patients latest technology and convenience with one-visit ceramic crowns and restorations

Pawtucket, RI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/10/2015 -- Dr. Russell Chin, cosmetic dentist in Pawtucket, RI has introduced CEREC technology to his office, which is increasing patient convenience by allowing them to receive ceramic crowns and other restorations in just one office visit. CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, uses some of the latest technology in the dental industry to design and create ceramic crowns, veneers, and other restorations in-office, dramatically reducing patient wait times when compared to standard crown and ceramic restoration processes.

CEREC uses CAD/CAM technology to take digital measurements and impressions of the patient's mouth when their treatment plan requires ceramic restorations like crowns, inlays, onlays, or even veneers. This eliminates the need for the messy impression material that is required with the conventional restoration process that patients often dread. These digital measurements and images are then used by the CEREC machine to create the restorations out of small porcelain blocks using powerful milling technology.

CEREC reduces the wait time of conventional ceramic restorations from at least two weeks down to about 2-3 hours. Prior to the availability of CEREC, patients were required to attend an initial appointment where impressions and measurements were taken, then subsequent molds were taken and sent to an external lab. At this time the patient's tooth was also prepared and fitted with a temporary crown or restoration. The lab would then fabricate the restoration, send it back to the dental office, and the patient was required to return to have these new restorations placed. In some instances when measurements were not taken correctly, patients would need to return for yet another visit to have the restorations adjusted.

With CEREC, patients can have the entire process completed within just a few hours. Dr. Chin can take the impressions quickly and comfortably, and can prep the tooth while the CEREC unit is milling the restoration. Dr. Chin is able to place the restoration and make any necessary adjustments in the very same visit. Best of all, patients are practically able to watch their new crown, inlay, onlay, or veneers being formed as the diamond-coated milling units work. The milling process itself takes only about 6-15 minutes.

About Dr. Russell Chin
Dr. Chin is committed to providing his patients with the very latest tools, technology, and treatments that the dental industry offers. The CEREC technology he offers for patients is part of that commitment.

Dr. Russell Chin in Pawtucket, RI offers patients less invasive alternative for permanent restorations

Pawtucket, RI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/11/2015 -- Dr. Russell Chin, general and cosmetic dentist in Pawtucket, RI recently introduced mini dental implants as an available service for his patients that is allowing them to receive permanent restorations faster, and with a less-invasive procedure. With mini dental implants, Dr. Chin is able to provide patients with both fixed dentures and crowns in just one day, offering them more convenience and much less pain due to the minimally invasive procedure.

Mini dental implants have become increasingly popular with doctors and patients over the past several years for the many benefits they offers patients who are seeking permanent restorations. Traditional dental implants consist of small metal studs that act as screws, securing a permanent restoration into the patient's jawbone after they have experienced tooth loss. While traditional implants are extremely effective, they also require major surgery, significant recovery time, and can be very costly. As a possible alternative, mini implants have a smaller diameter which requires less invasive surgery, much less recovery time, and can be significantly less expensive.

Dr. Chin has been helping patients achieve a new, attractive smile using mini dental implants for both permanent dentures and crowns. With traditional dental implants, several different metal screws are inserted on both the upper and lower arches which are used to support realistic-looking crowns secured to each implant. Patients who desire a similar look only with less invasive surgery and less expense can use mini dental implants to permanently secure their dentures. With this procedure, four mini dental implants are inserted directly into the upper and lower arches, which are then permanently attached to dentures, giving patients a brand new permanent smile. Patients who are seeking restorations for a singular tooth rather than entire upper or lower arches can also take advantage of the many benefits mini dental implants offer.

Whereas traditional dental implants require several weeks to even several months of recovery, mini dental implants allow patients to get back to a normal lifestyle within days. Because of the minimally-invasive nature of the procedure, patients only require local anesthesia and experience lessened pain and soreness after the procedure than traditional implant procedures.

About Dr. Russell Chin
Dr. Russell Chin and his staff are committed to helping their patients achieve their very best smile. They are dedicated to patient education and helping each individual make the most informed decision about their oral health needs. Mini dental implants are one of the many ways Dr. Chin and his team are helping patients get a smile they can be proud of in an environment that is technologically advanced, yet comfortable and inviting.

Pawtucket dental professional Dr. Russell Chin provides advanced TMJ treatment using the most sophisticated technology and techniques available

Pawtucket, RI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/21/2014 -- Pawtucket, Rhode Island dentist Dr. Russell Chin, DDS, is using the most advanced tools and techniques available to help his patients suffering from chronic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and pain achieve the relief and comfort they've been seeking for years. In pursuit of TMJ treatment, Dr. Chin has introduced new technologies including BioPAK and T-Scan imaging and diagnostic solutions to the range of services available at his Pawtucket dental practice.

The BioPAK system helps measure the health and functionality of the patient's jaw joints and facial muscles. The non-invasive, pain-free procedure employs a computerized diagnostic tool. The BioPAK procedure allows the doctor to perceive and diagnose the overall wellness of the patient's oral mechanics, helping develop a detailed analysis of problematic muscles and joint areas to target with specialized treatment, encouraging quicker results in a more specific region.

A common BioPAK evaluation lasts 30-45 minutes, after which a doctor can see how joint and muscle disorders have affected the teeth and bite pattern of the patient. Undiagnosed TMJ disorders result in long-term wear and tear on teeth, jaw and muscles and can gradually ruin delicate restorative dental work as well, resulting in pain, headaches and interrupted sleep habits. TMJ symptoms include overall pain in the face, neck or back, clicking or popping noises in the jaw, pain or chronic discomfort while chewing, headaches and migraines. Those who've experienced facial trauma, have been injured or were in an accident, or are considering implants or cosmetic dentistry can also look into a BioPAK screening.

About The BioPAK System
In addition to the BioPAK system, Dr. Chin also uses state-of-the-art T-Scan technology, a sophisticated imaging software and device that allow unprecedented insight and detailed analysis of the joints, muscles and bone structure and health of the patient. The T-Scan system also features an advanced visual interface that allows in-depth analysis of results that both the doctor and patient can use to help determine the extent of any apparent TMJ disorders or other problems and how they can be treated. T-Scan technology and hardware is compact and portable, meaning that the results, data and technology can be used in any office, laboratory or clinic. T-Scan technology helps to measure bite strength and evenness, providing force and timing data that can improve clinical results without relying on non-specific descriptions of how a patient "feels" pain, instead providing hard facts and details for the doctor and patient to see. The procedure minimizes uncomfortable treatments and decreases follow up appointments.
