CEREC Single Visit Crowns

We are pleased to offer CEREC Single Visit Crowns and Bridges to our patients! You are no longer required to have putty impressions of your teeth or have a temporary crown placed while the lab builds your permanent one! We can fabricate your permanent crown right in our office with our 3D printer in about 90 minutes while you wait. Now you don’t have to miss work more than once.

Headaches

There are many causes of headaches and they can be very challenging problems for a clinician to diagnose and treat. TMJ problems are a major source of headaches, especially of the temporal region.

Although patients can suffer from true vascular migraines, the majority of headaches are either caused or exacerbated by TMJ problems. We have the ability to determine if a patient’s headache is caused by the most common source being a TMJ disorder or something else.

Their words, not ours.

“If you have TMJ, Dr. Holmes is the dentist for you!”

I had been suffering with pain and discomfort from TMJ and an incorrect jaw splint from another dentist. Dr. Holmes has a unique method of realigning the jaw to resolve this!! Truly the best!!

“Crown in an hour. No temps.”

Crown in an hour. No temps. Perfectly executed as always! Best dentist on earth.

“Dr. Holmes provided a path back.”

I’ve been a patient of Brentwood Dental & TMD for years and have had a great experience from beginning to end. I appreciate the entire team and have had such great results from my TMD treatment. Managing chronic pain can be difficult, but Dr. Holmes provided a path back to as normal as I can get!

Alexandra S.

“Best to the best!”

100% recommended - I started here because of his TMJ expertise (best to the best!) and stayed because they are so kind, do a an excellent job - and are ALWAYS on time and I really value that combination in a practice.

Staci R.

“Second to none.”

Dr. Holmes has been helping me get through a jaw issue over the past few months. His care and attention to detail has been second to none. I’m very thankful to have found him and for the improvements that have been made thus far.
