\n
\nDr. Skinner has completed extensive postdoctoral training through Occlusion Connections and focuses his practice on helping patients with complex jaw and airway issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\nOur office uses advanced tools such as K7 jaw tracking, electromyography (EMG), and TENS to identify the true source of dysfunction and guide personalized treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\nTreatment begins with a precision-fitted orthotic appliance designed to relax the jaw muscles, align the bite, and relieve pain. Once stability is achieved, long-term results may be maintained with Invisalign\u00ae<\/a> or restorative dental treatments<\/a>, depending on the patient\u2019s needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\nWe believe in seamless communication with referring providers and will keep you updated on diagnosis, progress, and treatment recommendations throughout your patient\u2019s care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\nDr. Skinner\u2019s own experience living with TMJ dysfunction informs his compassionate, results-driven philosophy. Patients appreciate his attentiveness\u2014and so do their doctors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>How to Refer a Patient<\/h2>\n
