If you’re often grabbing an extra espresso at Town & Country Village just to stay awake, or if your jaw feels tight while walking the trails at The Dish, you aren’t alone. Many of our neighbors in Crescent Park and Midtown deal with chronic jaw pain and poor sleep quality. If you are looking for a dentist in Palo Alto, you want more than just a cleaning; you want a team that understands how your oral health affects your entire day.
Dr. Harry Tseng and Dr. Christine Hansen specialize in advanced treatments that go beyond the surface. We treat our patients like the friends we see at the California Avenue Farmers’ Market, providing high-tech solutions for TMJ and Sleep Apnea so you can feel your best whether you’re presenting at Stanford or enjoying a quiet dinner in Old Palo Alto.
It might seem unusual to visit a dental office for Botox, but it is one of the most effective ways we provide Botox for TMJ Treatment. Many people in Silicon Valley carry their stress in their jaw, grinding their teeth during long hours at the computer and waking up with “mystery” headaches.
When we use Botox for TMJ Treatment, we target the masseter muscles to relieve the tension that causes grinding. This doesn’t just stop the pain; it protects your teeth from chipping and can even slim the jawline for a more relaxed appearance. If you’re tired of a bulky night guard, this quick appointment in our Palo Alto office can provide relief that lasts for months.
Are you always tired, or has your partner mentioned your snoring? A Sleep Apnea Evaluation is the first step toward reclaiming your energy. Many residents in Barron Park and College Terrace suffer from obstructive sleep apnea without realizing it. This condition doesn’t just make you tired; it can affect your heart and long-term health.
During a Sleep Apnea Evaluation, we look at your airway and dental structure to see if a custom oral appliance could replace a clunky CPAP machine. Our goal is to help you breathe easily through the night so you can wake up ready for a bike ride at Shoreline Park without needing that third latte.
We know you have choices when looking for a dentist in Palo Alto, but we believe specialty care should be personal:
