Neuromuscular Dentistry

If you experience headaches, neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking or popping in your jaw, or tinnitus (ringing in the ears), we want to assess your temporomandibular joint and the position of your bite. Dr. Bis has received specialized neuromuscular dental training from the renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, the world's premier postgraduate dental institution.

Neuromuscular dentistry aims to balance your bite with the muscles in your mouth. Left undiagnosed and untreated, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ or TMD) can worsen. The earlier you begin treatment for TMJ, the greater your chances are for a successful treatment. We offer a variety of TMJ treatments, including medication, splints, and restorations.

If you experience TMJ symptoms, please contact us for a consultation.

Cosmetic Dentistry

The first thing most people notice is your smile. Even a subtle change can make a big difference in the way you look and feel. No matter your age or the condition of your teeth, Dr. Agatha Bis offers cosmetic dental procedures to whiten, brighten, straighten, and even overhaul your smile.

Our cosmetic dentistry services include:

General Dentistry

Dr. Bis knows that the best way to maintain healthy teeth and gums is daily brushing and flossing, as well as regular dental examinations and professional cleanings. We understand that kids and adults have different dental needs and priorities, and we address them all. When you come in for a visit, not only will we carefully examine your mouth, teeth, and gums, but our friendly, knowledgeable dental hygienists will teach you how to continue to keep your smile healthy and bright. Our low-radiation digital X-ray machines use at least 50 percent less radiation than conventional X-rays.

General dental services include:

Patient Comfort

In our dental practice, our biggest priorities are your health and comfort. From cozy chairs and refreshments to in-room televisions, we work hard to satisfy our patients. Dr. Bis can administer oral sedation to help you relax during treatments. At your first appointment, we will discuss your concerns, present treatment options, and develop a plan of action that meets your goals.
