Leading Vancouver-area dentist Dr. Madeson Basie helps relieve patients of jaw clicking and pain associated with TMJ and teeth grinding

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/28/2016 -- Millions of Americans suffer from symptoms associated with TMJ, also known as temporomandibular joint disorder. Symptoms include teeth grinding, clenching, clicking, headaches, tinnitus, dizziness, malocclusion (misaligned jaw), stiffness, earaches, and limitation in movement. Patients who have TMJ may not suffer from all of the symptoms typically associated with TMJ, but if it is not recognized or treated, symptoms may worsen and lead to other complications, such as shoulder and back pain, poor posture, or chronic pain. Dr. Madeson Basie in Vancouver, BC provides patients with care plans to achieve a pain-free lifestyle without TMJ symptoms.

The temporomandibular joint is one of the most complex joints in the human body. Because there are so many different forces and movements that affect the joint, problems often arise involving the bone, cartilage, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, and/or muscles. Trauma, stress, or issues caused in this area can be reversed by medication, therapy, massage, and surgery. Dr. Basie is pleased to prevent surgery as a necessary treatment option by providing a proven method that is non-invasive and drug-free.

By using occlusal and stabilizing splints, Dr. Basie has treated hundreds of patients with TMJ. Occlusal splints and stabilizing splints are designed to force teeth to meet in the position for the area's best movement. The only difference between the two is that occlusal splints are soft and stabilization splints are hard. Both intra oral appliances aid the symptoms of TMJ and are worn during the patient's sleeping hours. Over time, patients experience increased comfort and smoother ease in movement.

The comprehensive services Dr. Basie provides at his office help patients achieve their happiest, healthiest, and most confident smiles. From preventive and maintenance services to the treatment of TMJ and oral maxillofacial surgery, Dr. Basie is trained to offer patients all the treatments they need in one location. Oral maxillofacial surgery encompasses a wide range of diseases and procedures. The discipline includes simple procedures like extracting wisdom teeth to complex procedures such as correcting jaw abnormalities. Dr. Basie welcomes new patients and offers free consultations to determine a specific treatment for each unique patient.

Dr. Madeson Basie offers permanent dental implants for Vancouver patients who have experienced tooth loss

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/07/2016 -- Vancouver dentist Dr. Madeson Basie is helping patients who have experienced missing teeth due to injury, decay, or other health problems restore the function and aesthetics of their smile using some of the latest technology available in the industry. Using dental implants, Dr. Basie is able to restore patient's smiles to their prime condition, whether the patient has experienced a single missing tooth, a series of missing teeth, or entire top and bottom arches of missing teeth.

Dental implants are the best solution available in the industry today for restoring missing permanent teeth. The design of the dental implant mimics the structure of a natural tooth, and when placed and cared for properly, dental implants can be just as strong or even stronger than natural teeth.

The dental implants process involves multiple phases over the course of several weeks or months, depending on the complexity of the patient's unique situation. The dental implant itself is a small titanium stud or screw that Dr. Basie surgically inserts into the patient's jawbone in the void where the permanent tooth once was. This implant is given several weeks to heal to naturally fuse with the surrounding bone and gum tissues. Once fused, a porcelain crown is attached to the implant that restores the aesthetic aspect of the missing tooth.

In their completed, healed state, dental implants are designed to last the lifetime of the patient. They allow patients to chew and speak just as they would with natural teeth. Additionally, patients can brush and floss dental implants just like they would with natural teeth, unlike other restorative alternatives like dentures, partial dentures, or bridges.

To be a candidate for permanent dental implants, patients must have enough jaw bone density to support the implants that will be surgically inserted. Dr. Basie offers consultations at his Vancouver office to determine if patients are good candidates for dental implants to restore their missing teeth.

Vancouver Dentist Dr. Madeson Basie emphasizes the importance of gum care for tooth preservation

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/27/2015 -- Recent studies show that as many as 80% of adults have some form of gum disease, often referred to in its beginning stages as gingivitis. While many people view brushing their teeth as the most important activity for the prevention of decay, flossing is equally important for preserving the tooth's position in the mouth and gum tissue. Dr. Madeson Basie is encouraging his Vancouver patients to seek regular treatment and practice proper hygiene habits to keep their gums healthy, and ultimately keep their teeth into their elderly years.

Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, however, because it is a painless disease, many patients do not realize how severe their condition is and how it is really affecting their health. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is caused by bacteria that constantly forms on the teeth but continues to grow when patients fail to brush and floss regularly.

Beginning signs of gum disease or gingivitis include gums that bleed easily, red, swollen, or tender gums, persistent bad breath, or gums that have pulled away from the teeth. Those with poor oral hygiene, those who smoke, are pregnant, or who have diabetes are more at risk of developing gum disease.

In its earlier stages, gum disease is completely reversible with proper care and treatment. However, advanced gum disease, or periodontitis, can lead to the loss of tissue and bone that supports the teeth, which can cause the teeth to become loose and to even fall out. Periodontitis can be treated with non-surgical and surgical treatments; however, its effects are not always reversible and can have severely adverse consequences for overall health.

Dr. Basie encourages all of his patients to simply get into the habit of flossing daily, and recommends it as the best way to prevent any sort of gum disease from occurring. If patients already notice signs or symptoms of gum disease, they should see a dentist for proper diagnosis, start proper hygiene habits, and seek out proper treatment if necessary. In most cases of mild gum disease, patients can reverse symptoms completely with proper hygiene. Attending regular dental visits can also ensure that no areas of the mouth are going unchecked.
