Welcome to the practice of Dr. Michael Shannon. Our focus is prosthodontics with special emphasis on treating and understanding TMJ disease. We have extensive experience with dentures, crowns, veneers, implants, and bridges.
We consult with people to determine the best way to address their prostodontic needs. Then we work carefully to find individualized solutions and enjoy helping patients to achieve optimal dental health.
Dr. Michael Shannon is a prosthodontic specialist. Prosthodontics is one of the official seven specialties recognized by the American Dental Association, and deals with the replacement of missing teeth and missing tooth structure.
Dr. Shannon's specialties include: TMJ, dentures and partials, and dental implants. Symptoms of TMJ can include: pain in the face, cheek and temple area; tired or stiff jaws; headaches; difficulty chewing; pain in the ears or in the front of the ears; ringing in the ears; and jaws locking open or closed.
Dr. Shannon makes custom fabricated, highly aesthetic dentures and
partials utilizing a unique method called a functional impression. The
benefit of the functional impression technique is a more accurate and
comfortable fit of the denture while it is actually working inside the
mouth.
