Rocky River Ohio Dentist, Dr. John Kinsley, Helps Patients in the treatment of TMJ Problems and Headaches

The temporomandibular joints (TMJ's) are the joints that are involved in the movement of our jaws when we open and close to chew, swallow and speak. The TM joints are the most used joints in the entire body. The mandible (the lower jaw) is the only bone in the body that moves with the use of two joints. It can rotate open and close but it can also unhinge and move out of the joint sockets when we bite into an apple or into an ear of corn. Disorders of the TM joints can cause many different head, neck and facial pain symptoms which are sometimes originally misdiagnosed as migraines, tension headaches, neuralgia and even psychological illnesses. Dr. John Kinsley wants his Rocky River and surrounding Northeast Ohio area patients along with those seeking answers to their headaches and jaw dysfunction problems to learn how they may benefit from new state of the art diagnosis and treatment options.

Common signs and symptoms of TMJ disorders include:

• Clicking/Popping jaw joints
• Clenching/Grinding of teeth
• Facial pain Tired jaws
• Difficulty in eating or swallowing
• Limited jaw opening or jaw locking
• Chronic headaches
• Drifting bite (changes in your bite or how your teeth fit together)
• Changes in the facial skeleton (recessive chin, assymmetry of the face)
• Ear congestion
• Ringing of the ears
• Neck and shoulder pain

What causes TMJ disorders?

We now know that trauma is a major cause of TMJ disorders. Traumas such as whiplash, sports related injuries, concussions, slips and falls, and a direct blow to the jaw are all primary examples. Other major factors can result from a misaligned bite, ill fitting dental work, failure in the growth of the joints and jaws, and certain forms of arthritis.

Forward Head Posturing:

Many TMJ patients carry their head too far forward. This kind of posture can cause numbing or tingling sensations in the hands, difficulty clearing the ear, and pain in the jaw, head, neck, shoulders and upper back. Poor head posture puts tremendous strain on the muscles which overtime changes how the patient bites his or her teeth together. It is well documented that head posture and bite are closely related. More advanced problems can create alot of "cross-talk" between the muscles and nerves that supply the head and neck making the diagnosis and treatment more complicated.

The key to the success in the treatment of any disease is to first make an accurate diagnosis. The dental and medical community for years have called TMJ problems "TMJ Syndrome". But a syndrome is not a specific diagnosis. Did you know that up to 80% of all headache pain can come from a bad bite or an undiagnosed joint problem? Let's face it, if you had chronic headaches, you probably would first go see your doctor. A typical scenario may go like this: The doctor may order some tests and then prescribe some medication. If that is not successful, a referral to a neurologist may follow to rule out a tumor or some other pathosis. If the neurologist can not determine that there is anything wrong, the patient may be referred back to their doctor who now may refer to an ENT specialist. The ENT may find nothing wrong (no ear infections) and so the patient is referred back to their doctor who then may say "Well you're just too stressed" and "You need a vacation" or "Go see a psychiatrist!" Fortunately through the use of advanced technology and performing a thorough history and examination, we can accurately diagnose the condition of the joints thereby allowing us to develope a treatment and management protocol to help the patient return back to health, comfort and function.

After Dr. Kinsley graduated from the Ohio State University College of Dentistry in 1987, he began to study extensively at several renowned Institutes...The L.D. Pankey Insitute in Key Biscayne Florida, The Dawson Academy for Advanced Dental Studies in St. Petersburgh Florida, along with the Piper Education and Research Center for the diagnosis and treatment of complex TMJ Disorders in St. Petersburgh Florida. He is an active member of the American Equilibration Society in Chicago, the largest international organization in the world that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of dental occlusion (bite problems) and disorders of the TMJ's and associated muscles. Dr. Kinsley also has the priviledge of being in a unique TMJ study group, "The Piper/McKee Study Club" where the focus is on the diagnosis and treatment of complex TMJ as well as head and neck Disorders.

Rocky River, OH Dentist Dr. John Kinsley Straightens Teeth The No-Show Way With Invisalign

The dilemma is a common one: You want to straighten your teeth, but you also don’t want to wear highly visible metal braces. Rocky River, OH dentist Dr. John Kinsley hears these statements quite frequently at his office. Fortunately, he offers a solution for those with mild to moderate misalignment: Invisalign clear aligners.

The problem with having crooked teeth can be much more than just an embarrassing smile. Teeth that are not aligned properly create what dentist call “malocclusion.” 74% of all American adults have malocclusion.  Left untreated, malocclusion can lead to periodontal disease due to the difficulty in cleaning crooked teeth or areas with spaces between them where food can get wedged between the teeth and gums. Poor alignment creates abnormal amounts of stress on the teeth, jaws, muscles and joints. Teeth will wear down, get loose and fracture ultimately leading to the loss of teeth.

Invisalign treatment is a breakthrough technique where Dr. Kinsley straightens your teeth without braces, using a series of clear, comfortable aligners that are custom molded to fit your teeth. The aligners are worn 22 hours per day and are removed before eating and while brushing and flossing. No more food getting stuck between the metal brackets. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud of. And as an added benefit, your new straight teeth are much easier to clean!  Treatment time is specific for each patient but on average is between 6 months to one year for mild to moderate malocclusions.

Rocky River, OH Dentist John Kinsley, DDS, Detects Dental Decay with Diagnodent Laser Technology

Rocky River, OH Dentist John Kinsley, DDS, Detects Dental Decay with Diagnodent Laser Technology

Finding dental caries (cavities) before they have a chance to damage teeth dramatically minimizes the need for future extensive treatments as well as the risk of losing teeth due to decay. With Diagnodent, a cutting-edge laser device designed to identify cavities, pitting or fractures affecting the teeth, Rocky River, OH dentist John Kinsley, DDS, can now discover dental decay in its earliest stages and begin aggressive treatment measures to stop progression of the cavity. Additionally, oral examinations using Diagnodent means that patients will not have to experience the discomfort of sharp dental tools picking at their teeth since Diagnodent relies on painless, state-of-the-art laser technology.

It is estimated that nearly 50 percent of small cavities remain undetected by visual and traditional X-ray examination. By incorporating Diagnodent into his practice, Rocky River, OH dentist Dr. John Kinsley offers patients the advantages of receiving oral care from one of the best preventative devices ever developed by researchers in the oral health industry. Dr. Kinsley begins an examination with Diagnodent by aiming the laser at healthy tooth enamel, thus establishing a “normal benchmark” reading and then shining the Diagnodent laser on areas suspected to be prone to decay. Information provided by the laser is electronically evaluated and converted to an acoustic warning signal accompanied by a digital number displayed on the computer monitor. When certain wavelengths are emitted, numerical readings between 10 and 100 are provided to Dr. Kinsley, who then determines whether the enamel is structurally healthy or is softening and developing into an actual cavity.

Detecting pits in enamel between teeth with Diagnodent before they become visible prevents the spread of bacterial biofilm responsible for tooth decay and gingivitis. Upon finding compromised areas with the Diagnodent laser, Rocky River, OH dentist Dr. John Kinsley may apply bonding or white filling material to repair and protect enamel from further damage. When cavities are large or decay is extensive, enamel-colored fillings are generally not applicable due to the magnitude of the cavity. Dental crowns may be necessary or even extraction if the tooth is beyond the point of restoration. Diagnodent can help both children and adults avoid lengthy dental treatments by providing Dr. Kinsley with detailed information concerning the most concealed areas of each tooth.

Dr. John Kinsley Provides Superior Dental Diagnosis with Digital X-rays in Rocky River, OHIO

Advancements in technology have dramatically improved the dental industry over the years, enhancing every step of dental care, from diagnosis to treatment. New technology has even improved how dentists X-ray patients’ teeth and the supporting jaw bone, with digital X-rays quickly becoming the industry standard. Dr. John Kinsley uses digital radiography to provide top-of-the-line dental care to his patients in Rocky River, OH.

Digital X-rays are taken in a similar manner to traditional dental X-rays that use film. However, instead of using film, X-ray images are captured by a digital sensor, rather than by film, placed in the patient’s mouth. This sensor is connected to an imagining program on a computer that projects the image for easy viewing, which allows the dentists to view the structures of your teeth and bone more closely and with better accuracy than traditional dental X-rays. Better images for your dentist mean there is a greater chance that he will spot any problems sooner and fix them before they can become more serious or painful.

In addition to clearer images, digital X-rays also produce up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional dental X-rays. This is because the digital sensor is much more sensitive to radiation than film, so less is needed to form an accurate image. While traditional X-rays are considered safe by professionals, those who receive X-rays frequently or who are concerned about radiation will feel more comfortable with digital radiography.

With Dr. John Kinsley, you know that you will receive the best dental care available in Rocky River, Ohio. Digital X-rays are just one of the ways this dentist acts with his patients’ best interest in mind. Schedule an appointment by calling 440-331-8691.

Dr. John Kinsley Utilizes Air Abrasion to Provide Patients with Dental Care Without Shots or Drills in Rocky River, Ohio

Dr. John Kinsley is a general and cosmetic dentist in Rocky River, OH who is dedicated to providing his patients with the best dental service available, and one of the ways he does this is by using high-quality dental tools that can increase patient comfort and reduce anxiety during procedures. From using top-of-the-line technology to detect tooth decay to performing dental procedures with tools that reduce pain, Dr. Kinsley consistently puts his patients’ dental experience and oral health first.

One tool that allows the dentist to enhance his patients’ dental care is the air abrasion tool, which forgoes drills and shots. With no vibrations, friction or heat, there is no jarring of sensitive nerves or anxiety. The tool instead delivers a gentle stream of particles with forced air that removes decay quickly and gently.

Because it is quicker and does not require sedation, air abrasion allows more teeth to be worked on in one visit and with no side effects. This is much more convenient for both the dentist and the patient than traditional drills and allows you to have necessary dental work without cutting too much into your busy schedule. Additionally, air abrasion allows for more of the healthier tooth structure to be conserved when removing decay. It is also highly effective in stronger bonding procedures.

Air abrasion is only one of the ways that Dr. John Kinsley puts his patients first in Rocky River, OH. To schedule an appointment with the dentist, call 440-331-8691. For more information about Dr. Kinsley, his practice or his services, visit www.rockyriverdentist.com.

Dr. John Kinsley Saves Patients’ Teeth with Root Canals in Rocky River, OH

If one of your teeth has become infected in its root, a root canal is required to save your tooth and oral health. Without the procedure, infection can not only kill your tooth and require extraction but also spread to other parts of your mouth and jawbone.  If you are experiencing pain in one of your teeth, you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with Dr. John Kinsley in Rocky River, OH.

Teeth consist of a soft core called dental pulp, which extends from the tooth’s crown to the tip of its root in the jawbone. The dental pulp contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue that can become infected if extensive decay, cracks or a tooth fracture allows bacteria in. Signs and symptoms of an infection include a hole in your tooth, swelling, the bite feeling "High", a toothache and sensitivity to hot or cold foods and liquids.

To treat an infected tooth, Dr. Kinsley will apply a local anesthetic to numb the area around the infected tooth. Then he will remove all the old filling material and decay. Using small precision technology, Dr. Kinsley removes the infected or diseased pulp and then will clean and disinfect the canals before filling and sealing them. At a subsequent appointment, the tooth will be reinforced with a bonded filling and protected by fabricating and placing a dental crown.

While the thought of a root canal may sound scary, the procedure has come a long way in recent years. Thanks to advances in anesthesia, technology and pain killers, there is minimal to no discomfort following root canal treatment. Many of Dr. Kinsley's patients are so relaxed during a root canal that they momentarily nod off to sleep. He truly feels blessed in helping patients get rid of their pain and root canal therapy is one of his favorite procedures to perform.

*****

If you are feeling tooth pain, sensitivity to temperatures and pressure or swelling in one of your teeth, you may need root canal therapy to save your tooth from extraction. For an evaluation of your symptoms, schedule an appointment in Rocky River, OH by calling 440-333-1335. For more information about Dr. John Kinsley and his services, visitwww.rockyriverdentist.com.

Rocky River, Ohio Dentist, Dr. John Kinsley, Improves Smiles with Dental Implants

If you have one or multiple missing teeth or unfortunately are missing all of your teeth, you are likely to be looking for a way to replace those missing teeth. Whether they are in the front or back of your mouth, it can be frustrating to have missing teeth. The proper chewing and digestion of food, the production of speech sounds and your overall appearance can be severly compromised if you have missing teeth. Fortunately, Dr. John Kinsley in Rocky River, Ohio offers multiple ways to replace missing teeth, including the use of dental implants.

Dental implants are of a great benefit to patients because they are the most permanent ways to replace missing teeth. They involve metal posts that are carefully positioned into the jaw bone, where the bone will actually heal around the implant, holding it securely in place. If teeth are lost and not replaced, the bone begins to recede and disappear leaving large defects in one's jaw. By placing an implant, the bone is stimulated by chewing forces through "loading" thereby maintaining the level of bone and preventing it from disappearing. The implant(s) establishes a firm foundation upon which a single tooth, multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth can be attached.

Dr. Kinsley uses high quality materials to replace missing teeth. The implant itself is a titanium metal post, implanted into the jaw bone of the missing tooth. Once the post is installed, patients wait 3-4 months for the bone to permanently form around the implant.  After healing is complete, Dr. John Kinsley places a constructed, permanent crown or permanent bridge or the permanent denture over the top of the implant(s). If necessary, Dr. Kinsley can also place an immediate temporary restoration so the patient does not appear to have missing teeth.

Dr. Kinsley's Rocky River, Ohio patients love that their dental implants look, feel and work just like regular teeth. And unlike regular teeth, implants will not decay and they will never require a root canal! Patients can eat with the implanted teeth and not have to worry about them falling out!      You can even brush and floss them like your natural teeth and have them professionally cleaned. 

For over 27 years, Dr. John Kinsley has had extensive training and experience in restoring smiles with dental implants. He is uniquely qualified and specializes in restoring complex and challenging cases that other dentists might feel uncomfortable doing. If you are looking for a permanent way to replace missing teeth, ask Dr. John Kinsley about the miracles of dental implants. You will be glad you did!

Dr. John Kinsley Uses Intraoral Cameras for Improved Diagnoses in Rocky River, OH

Advancements in technology have dramatically improved the way that dentists practice, enhancing every step of dental care, from diagnosis to treatment. New technology has even improved the way that dentists view and diagnose patients’ teeth, with intraoral cameras quickly becoming an industry standard. Dr. John Kinsley uses intraoral cameras at his General and Cosmetic Dentistry in Rocky River, OH to provide his patients with dental care worth smiling about.

The intraoral camera is an effective tool for viewing a patient’s mouth and teeth from different angles, allowing the dentist to see the mouth from angles that were not available even a few years ago. The camera connects to a monitor where Dr. Kinsley can view the structures of your teeth more closely and with better accuracy than traditional methods. More views for the dentist mean there is a greater chance he will spot any problems sooner and be able to fix them before they can become more serious or painful.

These digital images also allow the patient and insurance companies to see what the doctor has seen, which lets you understand your oral health better and gain procedure acceptance from your insurance company more easily. In addition to better images, using digital intraoral cameras and digital X-rays, instead of traditional dental X-rays can limit your exposure to radiation since these methods can produce 80 percent less radiation to capture a clear image.

With Dr. John Kinsley, you know that you will receive the best dental care available in Rocky River, OH. Intraoral cameras are just one of the ways this dentist acts with his patients’ best interest in mind.

Rocky River, OH Dentist Dr. John Kinsley, Offers Veneers through Aesthetic Dentistry

Aesthetic dentistry is a specialty offered by Dr. John Kinsley in Rocky River, OH. It allows patients to improve the appearance of their teeth and gain more confidence through procedures such as veneers and aesthetic dentistry. Veneers are a popular way to enhance the appearance of the teeth with thin ceramic shells bonded to the teeth. They are made to fit over the teeth without being noticeable to others. Patients with discoloration or staining, misshapen, gaps or spaces, or cracked teeth often choose veneers for the benefit of an improved and stronger smile.

Getting veneers in Rocky River, OH typically requires two to three visits at the dental office of    Dr. John Kinsley, DDS . It begins with preparing the tooth through contouring and shaping. This is done to make room for the veneer and allow it to fit properly. Once the tooth or teeth are ready, impression molds are made and sent to the dental lab so the veneers can be fabricated. The patient is sent home with temporary veneers which are shaped to look natural and beautiful. The veneers are made to match the same basic shape and color of the other teeth. Once they are ready, which takes about two weeks, Dr. John Kinsley removes the temporary veneers and bonds the permanent lab-made veneers to the teeth. And WOW do they look and feel GREAT!!!

Rocky River, OH patients who have veneers placed by Dr. John Kinsley DDS say that their veneers feel just like their natural teeth. Patients can eat, brush and floss their teeth as they normally could before their veneers.  Dr. Kinsley encourages patients to contact his office to find out more about getting veneers through aesthetic dentistry.

Rocky River, OH Dentist, Dr. John Kinsley Helps Patients Rest Easy With Sleep Apnea Treatments

If a full night’s sleep eludes you due to sleep apnea, Dr. John Kinsley, DDS, is here to help. Dr. Kinsley is trained in a special aspect of dentistry known as sleep dentistry. If you or a loved one suffers from sleep apnea, Dr. Kinsley can create a custom oral appliance at his Rocky River, OH office to reduce sleep apnea’s symptoms and help ensure a full night’s rest.

Sleep apnea is a medical condition that causes the tissues from the upper airway to temporarily block airflow. The result can be anything from a snore to a brief or prolonged cessation of breathing. Both occurrences are medically dangerous, as well as affect your ability or your partner to feel rested after a full night’s sleep.

If you frequently wake up from a long night’s sleep without feeling rested or a partner has told you that you snore or stop breathing when you sleep, obstructive sleep apnea could be to blame. Although only a licensed medical physician can diagnose sleep apnea, you can discuss your symptoms with Dr. Kinsley who will help guide you to obtaining proper medical and dental treatment.

Dr. Kinsley can custom-make a mouth appliance for you that advances the mandible (lower jaw) forward while you sleep. The appliance helps to keep the airway more open during sleep, decreasing the likelihood the airway will be obstructed. The results are often dramatic and life changing!

While these are not intended for use in those with more severe sleep apnea, patients with mild to moderate cases can see improvement in sleep quality and a reduction in snoring and missed breaths. At his Rocky River, OH office, Dr. Kinsley can help patients -- and their partners -- get a better night’s rest.

Toothache

The last thing anyone expects is to have a toothache. And it never comes at a convenient time. Your out of town on a business trip, a vacation, a holiday weekend or it's in the middle of the night. The pain can seem to come out of nowhere and cause debilitating symptoms that radiate throughout your mouth and jaw. The pain can cause you to stop eating normally and in some cases can even cause other problems such as swelling or headaches. The first thing you should do when you get a toothache is to seek immediate dental care with someone such as John L. Kinsley, DDS in Rocky River, Ohio. While your first instinct might be to ignore the pain, it is very likely that it will persist without treatment.

Visiting with Dr. Kinsley for a Toothache

Dr. Kinsley will perform a thorough evaluation of your tooth/teeth utilizing any necessary x-ray's, photographs and other state of the art dental technologies of your mouth when you first visit him. This will give Dr. Kinsley a good picture of what the problem hiding below the surface could be so that he can develop a plan of action. In many cases a toothache is a clue that a cavity exists or a fracture or even worse, a tooth abscess. Decay of the tooth is often caused because of build up of plaque on the tooth, or because of a crack in the tooth or even from a previous failing restoration. Though proper dental hygiene is the best way to keep cavities at bay, there are some individuals that are prone to tooth decay. Like any other disease process, early detection and treatment is always the best way to go.

When you have a toothache, don’t ignore it hoping it will just go away. The longer you wait the worse the problem will get. There are actions that Dr. Kinsley can take to help relieve the pain and stop the underlying cause of the toothache. Call us today at 440-331-8691 to learn more and to schedule an appointment.
