From your responses he provides appropriate options and recommendations to meet your needs and priorities. We want you to make the right decision and have a smile you will love for years to come.

TMJ Therapy

Dr. Juracka focuses on relieving TMJ dysfunction and the pain caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) through targeted, evidence-based treatment. By addressing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for tension and soreness, patients often experience significant relief.

One effective approach involves using Botox therapeutically to relax the masseter and temporalis muscles—reducing clenching, alleviating jaw pain, and protecting teeth from excessive wear.

In many cases, custom TMJ devices such as nightguards or occlusal splints are also recommended to stabilize the jaw, prevent grinding, and support long-term joint health.

With a deep understanding of facial anatomy and a precise, conservative technique, Dr. Juracka provides TMJ-focused care tailored to your needs.

Prosomus Sleep Appliance

ProSomnus Therapy offers a quiet, comfortable solution for a restful night’s sleep—without the noise, masks, or hoses of traditional CPAP machines. Using advanced digital scans, Dr. Juracka custom-orders a precision-fit ProSomnus device tailored specifically to your mouth. Once it arrives, he will ensure a perfect fit and provide clear instructions on how to use, care for, and maintain your device.

Designed with comfort and ease of use in mind, ProSomnus Therapy is one of the most user-friendly treatments available for sleep-disordered breathing.

Dr. Juracka personally uses ProSomnus Therapy and experienced results the very first night. In fact, his wife was surprised to find that the dog—not Dr. Juracka—was the one snoring!

Digital Impressions

Patients enjoy many benefits from a digital scan vs. traditional impressions.  These include less chair time meaning fewer visits, improved quality of images for better fitting restorations, eliminates the need for uncomfortable restoration materials that may cause gagging, ensures more comfort and less anxiety for the majority of patients and reduces the likelihood of errors and material inaccuracies.  The storing of impressions digitally makes it possible to keep them for a longer time, saving space and ensuring efficient recordkeeping.  Digital impressions also support a paper-free environment and eliminates the need for disposable impression materials and plastic trays.

Our patients really appreciate the digital scanner for ease and efficiency.
