Dr. Sutter has always believed that high-quality dentistry can do much more than simply give someone an attractive smile. Thanks to his decades of experience and dedication to only using the latest technology, hes able to find, diagnose, solve, and even prevent many problems that most general dental offices will never notice. This helps his patients not only enjoy beautiful esthetics, but achieve healthy, functional smiles that are free of chronic pain, improving their oral and overall health at the same time.

For Beautiful Smiles probably has a few instruments you have never heard of before, including a multiwave locked laser, jaw vibration analysis, T-scan, and much more. This technology allows Dr. Sutter to measure a multitude of things that other dentists cannot, enabling him to provide treatment that actually improves how a person masticates (chews food). This can dramatically increase the longevity of the teeth and dental restorations as well as put a stop to the root cause of persistent jaw and head pain.

In addition to examining your teeth and gums when you come to see Dr. Sutter for a checkup, he will also look at your jaw, the alignment of your bite, and evaluate how these relate to the muscles of your face and mouth to ensure that everything is working as it should. This gives him a more accurate picture of someones oral health so that he is able to spot issues quickly and stop many from ever occurring in the first place.

Dr. Sutter is considered to be a leading expert in the field of TMJ/TMD therapy, which focuses on the treatment of conditions that cause dysfunction in the jaw joint that can lead to persistent jaw pain and headaches. His approach to screening and treating patients is emulated by dentists around the world, and he frequently speaks at conferences to share his expertise. Particularly, he is a respected provider of DTR (Disclusion Time Reduction) therapy, which serves to alter the bite in a way that allows the muscles of the jaw, face, and head to naturally relax, heal, and experience lasting relief.
