‘Dentistry is such a fascinating profession. It’s progressive, multi-faceted and demanding of the highest attention to detail. It combines science with art, caring and contribution, business and team development, ever advancing technology, materials and techniques. The list is endless. I am one of those blessed individuals who absolutely loves what I do.’
One of the finest services our practice provides is to restore a client to their natural best comfort, function and appearance using the most beautiful ceramic and porcelain materials.
Sometimes many teeth need correction and the teeth are so worn down that the bite looks collapsed giving an overclosed appearance of the face which is prematurely ageing. With older techniques, where the mouth is restored one tooth at a time, it takes dozens of visits, the old collapsed bite is duplicated, and the appearance of the face is not improved.
Full mouth restoration will dramatically improve your bite as well as the appearance of your smile and your face. Premature wrinkles are ironed out and the smile is positive not downturned. It is Dr. Jamus’ goal to therapeutically improve our clients so that the bite is more comfortable than ever and the appearance of the face is optimal. This always results in an appearance which beautifies the smile beyond what they ever had.
DIGMA technology is an all-at-once technique which simplifies the recording of jaw movements and malocclusion and allows Dr. Jamus to establish the most comfortable bite position using computerized technology. It avoids the overlong ‘horsey’ look common to cosmetic smile makeovers.
What is unique about Dr. Jamus’ treatment approach is that this service can be accomplished for the most part in 2 treatment visits. For our busy guests, this saves a tremendous amount of time and repeat trips to the office with additional savings of cost since there are no overly lengthy planning exercises using impression materials in the mouth, chair-side mounting of casts of the teeth and laborious adjustments in the mouth.
Dr. Jamus has received extensive training in full mouth restoration at Las Vegas Institute and is one of a select few dentists trained to provide this service.
To establish the correct bite on modern porcelain or ceramic materials is often time consuming requiring several try-in steps. It is difficult for the patient because they have to have the temporary teeth removed the new teeth tried in at each stage of fabrication. Valuable time is lost and the treatment can become lengthy and unnecessarily complicated with each visit. Sensitivity can result. If the bite is not correct from the beginning or any necessary functional adjustments are not carried out, there is the risk of damage to the NeuroMuscular system (Muscles + Joints + Teeth) or to the ceramic restorations (prosthesis). If a bad bite exists or persists a clench inhibitor (MCI) may be worn at night.
Mandibular movements are picked up by sensing system.
ARCUSdigma’s electronic facebow records the position of the upper jaw in less than 5 seconds
Unlike current measuring systemswith physical and inaccurate extra-oral recording and facebow transfers, ARCUSdigma imitates the concept of a virtual articulator.
There is perfect digital accuracy.
These values are programmed into the Protar 7 articulator where the Smile MockUps are made for the perfect appearance, function and bite.
Smile Mock-Ups or finished teeth are presented to the client on Protar articulator for inspection.

There has been a three-phase progression occurring in dentistry. The first phase was Tooth Carpenter Phase, which started with G.V. Black and continued until the late 1980s. In this phase, dentists primarily worked on one tooth at a time, paid or no very little regard to aesthetics, and ignored occlusion other than on the tooth they repaired. It’s amazing, but some dentists are stuck in the Tooth Carpenter Phase to this day. Insurance companies reinforce the Tooth Carpenters by paying for this type of dentistry. Tooth Carpenters love the one-tooth-at-a-time approach.
The second phase was the Aesthetic Phase. Here, dentists treated multiple teeth, paid significant attention to aesthetics and minimal attention to occlusion. Much of the 1990s encompassed this phase of dentistry’s evolution. The majority of dentists remain in this phase.
The third phase is the Mouth Doctor Phase. Here, dentists do more arch and full-mouth dentistry, pay significant attention to aesthetics and to the entire stomatognathic system – teeth, bones, muscles, nerves and joints. The Mouth Doctor Phase is the union of aesthetic dentistry and Neuromuscular Dentistry. This union is radically transforming the way dentistry is practiced. You are free to choose when you want to start harnessing that power.
