Appointments are made quickly and efficiently and the level of care I’ve experienced is superb. I have always appreciated the caring atmosphere and wonderful staff, and the kind way in which dental services are rendered.
“My improved dental health has given me the opportunity to be more out-going and less self-conscious about my smile and how my teeth look. I don’t have to worry any more about how others see my smile in public, which gives me improved self-confidence and peace-of-mind. With my new veneers I smile more. People who know me can’t quite figure out what is different about me. My self-confidence has definitely increased. To anyone wanting to improve their smile or confidence, I say – just do it! I waited over thirty years. Wish I had done it sooner! Dr. Ostler takes pride in his work and makes sure his patients are satisfied with the results. Thank you, Dr. Ostler!” –Bettie Jones, Tri-Cities

Neuromuscular DentistryTemporomandibular joint disease (TMJ) is a chronic degenerative disease affecting 60 million people and may take years to develop. Any underlying muscle/skeletal imbalance of the jaw to the skull may result in pain, muscle tension and spasms in the head, neck or jaw. Worn teeth, broken fillings, and jaw popping can result from a mal-aligned bite relationship or joint strain.
We may be able to help you! While traditional general dentistry works with teeth, gums and bones, neuromuscular dentistry adds an understanding of the complex relationship of the muscles and the nervous system, to create more harmony and comfort to create balanced muscles and a comfortable durable bite. We Believe…We believe our patients appreciate the up-to-date philosophy that pervades each aspect of this practice. As a clinical instructor at the nation’s most prestigious center for advanced esthetic/restorative dentistry continuing post-graduate education, Dr. Ostler’s patients benefit from having expert clinical skills and judgment. His considerable experience in practice, plus his experience as an instructor, lecturer, and study group mentor, combined with the expert skills of long-term experienced staff, assures you that your decision to trust your smile in our hands is a wise decision indeed. We believe in treating people – well – like friends! We know that respectfully helping our new friends in a kind and warm manner builds confidence and trust. We believe people want smiles that are healthy, radiant and socially acceptable. That is why our patients want to keep their teeth healthy. It is not okay to have teeth and breath odor that detracts from appearance or causes embarrassment in public. We believe people want teeth to look good, feel good, and last a long time. We believe that less dentistry is better than more dentistry. Prevention is the cornerstone of long term success. Our patients thus become partners in active programs to treat and control their own problems. This is why our patients and friends are happy to assume ownership of their own treatment plans and healthy outcomes. We believe our patients want excellent, comprehensive and respectful treatment. Our patients know they are receiving comfortable care in a modern dental office. They are secure in appreciating state-of-the-art treatment rendered by experienced and caring hands. This is also why your new dental team strives so hard to make each visit a positive and healthy visit. Please feel welcome to schedule a no-obligation complimentary consultation, or a regular new patient examination with Dr. Ostler and The Center for Dental Health, by calling 509-946-6566. We look forward to helping you with your dental and oral health needs and wants. |
“When your jaw cracks every time you chew and it hurts, something must be done. My physician said "you have TMJ - go see a dentist!" Fortunately, Dr. Ostler was my dentist! Extensive testing was done and a special dental splint was made for me to wear on my teeth. In time my jaw improved, my teeth quit hurting, the edema in my eye improved, and my neck quit hurting as much. 
many questions. They understand what it was all about. After finding out what it was like to not be in pain all the time, I choose to have my bite and teeth rebuilt. I knew this would be a challenge to any Doctor, because I needed bridges, caps, crooked teeth and missing teeth, but thanks to his fine caring and knowledgeable training, Dr. Ostler did a wonderful job. Now I not only have a comfortable bite, but beautiful teeth. I'm grateful for the kind way his staff were caring and knowledgeable throughout the treatment. The phone calls to see if I was doing okay after each visit were very much appreciated. Anyone doing this procedure and choosing to work with Dr. Ostler and his staff, will be more than pleased with the results." | Home | Our Practice | Dental Library | Services | Patient Center | Contact Us © Copyright 2007 The Center for Dental Health.
