Care for TMJ disorders and teeth grinding in Manalapan, NJ by Award-winning dentist Dr. Len Ciuffreda of remarkable Grins. Call us today at 732-792-0605 TMJ DISORDERS, HEADACHE & TEETH GRINDING in Manalapan, NJ TMJ Disorders The term “TMJ disorders” (also referred to as TMD), as commonly used by patients, represents a broad array of jaw joint, occlusal, and musculoskeletal conditions of the head & neck. As the classification encompasses a wide range of conditions, there naturally are many signs and symptoms of TMD. Some of the more common ones include: – pain in front of the ear – tender or painful jaw muscles – clicking, popping or crunching noises when opening or closing the jaw – limited opening or locking of the jaw - Headaches or general head / neck pain may also be associated with TMJ disorders. (See the section on headaches below.) Such problems require comprehensive evaluation by a dentist with advanced training in this area. In evaluating a patient with symptoms of a potential TMJ disorder, our office combines the results of your medical history / questionnaire, x-rays, and a detailed examination of the head & neck to arrive at your diagnosis. Referral for imaging such as a CT scan, MRI, or iCAT may be indicated. Due to the potentially complex nature of such disorders which often involve many contributing factors, our treatment approach is one of the whole person as a system to restore harmony and balance to your TM joint / head & neck functioning. Common therapeutic approaches may include the use of an oral appliance, occlusal equlibration (adjusting the “bite”), specific jaw exercises, and the use of moist heat. We may also work with other medical specialists depending upon your individual needs, and may advise referrals for evaluating nutritional considerations, , general exercise, lifestyle, work habits and daily living changes, and stress reduction / relaxation suggestions. We have had tremendous success with our integrative, conservative, non-surgical approach to the treatment of our TMD patients. In fact, this ability to provide such profound relief from chronic debilitating pain is one of the most rewarding aspects of our practice! Headache Headache is one of the most common medical complaints of the U.S. population today and actually accounts for millions of lost workdays each year. Due to the wide range of apparent symptoms and presentations of head pain, the International Headache Society has developed a comprehensive classification in an attempt to categorize these disorders. Our experience in treating these disorders has shown that the large majority of patients who complain of unilateral headache (pain on one side) often have a muscular / myofacial (MPDS) cause of their discomfort; and a large percentage of the time are associated with an actual TMJ (actual joint involvement) disorder. The most common (although not the only) location for this type of headache is around or above one eye, travelling up from the neck on the same side. If there is an associated TMJ disorder and/or bruxism (tooth grinding), an oral appliance is usually essential to achieving relief. Such headaches of muscular origin have been quite successfully treated at our office. Coordinated referral to a physical therapist, occupational therapist, chiropractor, or a well trained massage therapist is often highly beneficial. Dr. Ciuffreda has seen numerous patients who provide a history of “migraine.” Frequently these patients have been placed on prescription migraine medication but have had only limited, if any relief. However, upon examination Dr, Ciuffreda frequently finds that they really have a muscular / myofascial type headache often associated with a TMJ disorder and/or bruxism. that can usually be alleviated without, or with minimal medications as discussed above. RED FLAGS OF HEADACHE Not all headaches are “just headaches”. There are certain signs or symptoms that may indicate a serious underlying cause for headache symptoms. If you experience any of the following it would be highly advisable for you to seek medical consultation promptly: – abrupt onset of different or new type of severe headache – “worst headache you have ever had” – new onset of headache if over 50 years old – worsening of a headache over a period of days or weeks – headache worsened or precipitated by exertion – presence of illness, fever, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck – neurological symptoms (different from classic pre-migraine signs) Teeth Grinding It has been estimated that 30% of adults suffer from tooth grinding, or bruxism. Although some people will grind & clench their teeth during the day as well, bruxism generally occurs during stage 2 of sleep. Problems associated with clenching and grinding may include: - unsightly shortening and chipping of teeth - disruption of naturally protective tooth architecture - tooth sensitivity - accelleration of periodontal bone loss in the presence of gum inflammation - loosening of teeth - headache - TMJ disorders The primary treatment for tooth grinding is to fabricate a custom "night guard" so that during the night you will grind on the oral appliance rather than on your teeth. This will not only protect your teeth from wear and distribute biting 7 clenching forces, but it will also decompress your jaw joint promotog overall TMJ health.

Beautiful, natural and healthy looking dental veneers by Award-winning Manalapan, NJ dentist Dr. Len Ciuffreda of Remarkable Grins. Call us today for the smile you deserve at 732-792-0605 Teeth Whitening & Veneers in Manalapan, NJ Tooth Whitening A bright smile conveys the look of youth, health, and confidence. Our office offers two excellent options for whitening that are professional, clinically proven, prescription quality treatments available only through a dental office. The take home system employs the use of a set of ten (upper / lower) easy to use, tray delivered strips that are work for approximately ½ hour a day. We have had outstanding results and patient satisfaction with this more affordable, high value option. The in-office whitening procedure is truly the “gold standard” of tooth whitening. A much stronger gel is carefully and safely applied to the teeth in a controlled manner with the gums protected. Treatment time is approximately one hour, and again we have had outstanding results and high patient satisfaction with the procedure. It is important to realize that certain colorations and conditions of teeth respond differently, so a consultation with Dr. Ciuffreda is essential to assess the probability of the whitening treatment to produce a significant change in tooth color, as well as if whitening is advisable for you and the individually based advantages and disadvantages of one system vs. the other for you. Another important factor to consider is that fillings, crowns, veneers and bridges do not change color with tooth whitening procedures. Therefore we generally advise our patients to consider if they have a desire to whiten their smile prior to any restorative treatments, especially to the front teeth. This way, if a patient would like a whiter smile, we could whiten the teeth first, and then match any needed fillings, crowns, etc. to the new lighter shade. Porcelain Veneers (Laminates) Porcelain veneers, otherwise known as laminates, are thin shells of porcelain that are most commonly used for cosmetic enhancement. The amount of tooth reduction is much less than that of a crown, and this restoration provides an optimal level of translucency to achieve a natural looking, beautiful smile. Veneers are not as strong as crowns, and are often not indicated following rooth canal therapy, or for teeth with large fractured or decayed areas. Get the beautiful, healthy smile you deserve. Call us today at 732-792-0605 and see how Dr. Ciuffreda can enhance your Remarkable Grin.

Read our outstanding patient reviews to see why Manalapan dentist Dr. Len Ciuffreda of Remarkable Grins has been repeatedly selected as one of America's Best Dentists! Call us today at 732-792-0605 Patient Reviews We deeply value the long term relationships that develop with our patients It's not often you look forward to going to the dentist, but Dr. Ciuffreda, Cindy, and the staff always make the trip to the dentist a fun and friendly one. Not only is Dr.Ciuffreda a skilled dentist, but I also enjoy our conversations about things outside the world of teeth. Highly recommended! - Howard Yang By far the best dentist I have ever had. Dr Ciuffreda does his work with careful diligence, as unto the Lord, and treats each patient as if he was working on Jesus' teeth. He answers every random question I have (such as, what are cavity fillings made of?) and allows me to make my own choices based on comfort level (like my hated of feeling numb; he lets me forego the Novocaine).He's such a gentle dentist that I personally prefer it. The whole staff makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Extremely clean, warm, and professional. You'll love this dentist. - Katie Murphy Imagine this ... I have a pretty significant dental phobia, and, yet, I'm giving Dr. Ciuffreda FIVE stars. If that isn't a resounding endorsement, I don't know what is! He made it clear to me years ago that he completely understands my phobia, and any time I've had a procedure done he has both reassured me and shown amazing compassion. Best of all his skill set and talents are equal to his kindness. The office staff members are fantastic and always make me feel right at home. For having to see someone only a couple times a year, I can honestly say I consider Dr. Ciuffreda a friend. And it still amazes me to this day that I still feel this way, given that anyone with a phobia naturally tends to run FROM what scares them (and that natural instinct is still there for me at the onset of each visit). But ... because of who he is, I am able to face my fears, handle any procedures, and leave the office each time with a beautiful smile on my face :) I am SO grateful. - Ginger Asher Dr Len and staff truly know how to put you at ease. I had a simple procedure done, they made it almost enjoyable! (c'mon it is still the dentist) Dr Len is very good at his craft, he is caring, gentle and very thorough. I recommend him to everyone and my family and I will continue to see him for many years to come. - Marc Ambrose Remarkable grins is an amazing dentist! We all know going to the dentist can be a scary thing no matter what age you are, but Dr. Ciuffreda and Cindy and staff are all so amazing! They make you very comfortable from the moment you walk in the door. He also specializes in pain free dental work. He does such a great job each and every visit. I have never walked out if Dr. Ciuffreda's office not satisfied with the work. I have been seeing Dr. Ciuffreda for probably the past ten plus years and he never disappoints and Cindy is also amazing she is an absolute pleasure! - Alison Pezzi A visit with Dr. Ciufredda and staff actually makes going to the dentist a pleasure. They are always warm, pleasant, and it is always pain free. - Maria Erichsen I have been going to dr. Len C. for few years now. He is very good at what he does, he is the best dentist I ever had and his staff is very friendly and professional. - Yelena Bykova I have been going to Dr. Ciuffreda for 16 years and he never disappoints. Everyone in the office is very friendly and inviting. He is very specific and detail oriented, and has taken great care of my teeth. I highly recommended if you are in a need of a dentist. - Brianna Stoute I found Remarkable Grins a few years ago when I was looking for relief from TMJ disorder pain. Dr Len and staff are compassionate, caring and take the anxiety out of dental visits. - Melissa Vaccaro Dr. Len is a great dentist!! He is caring and very compassionate!! He is very thorough with his patient's needs and gives options of how to proceed!! - Kathleen Drake
