We help people with chipped, worn, and broken teeth; crooked, deformed, or discolored teeth; TMJ jaw pain; tooth decay; and gum disease. The most common cause of tooth loss in adults is something called Occlusal Disease. Bruxism and clenching are other common words that relate to it. Clenching and grinding your teeth can cause sensitivity and damage anything from your teeth to your muscles and ligaments.
Dentists fail to diagnose Occlusal Disease more than anything else. Also, most people don't realize that their teeth are unhealthy unless there is pain. Dr. Straw has learned to recognize the early signs and symptoms of Occlusal Disease and therefore prevent severe damage. Often the treatment requires full-mouth reconstruction, but even when fewer teeth require fixing you may want to fix more for aesthetics.
It's definitely an emotional experience to get a smile makeover. Most people are floored by how great they look with a new, bright smile. A new smile can change your life: enhancing your health, your relationships, your self-esteem, your career, and last throughout retirement. If you notice that your smile isn't what it used to be, or you've always been ashamed to smile, then Dr. Straw could really help.

The art of creating a smile involves using the ratio of beauty found in nature, the golden ratio of 1.618. Laboratory technicians who make the crowns and ultra-thin veneers deserve a fair amount of credit for the beautiful, natural-looking smiles they create. However, it's the dentist who must envision, plan, and prepare the teeth appropriately.
A new aesthetic smile does not imply improved function or chewing. It's important to remember that the teeth need to be custom designed to fit your bite, lips, and the way you chew. Some cosmetic dentistry may look absolutely perfect, but if it wasn't designed properly, you could have continual pain or breakage. On the other hand, improved looks is a natural result of improved function. That's why the #1 goal at Straw Smiles as always function to ensure longevity and comfort.
