What we do at Real Smile Dentistry
Our practice takes a physiologic, airway-centered approach. That means we look at how breathing, jaw position, muscle function, and oral health work together, then build a plan around what is really driving the patient’s complaints.
Dr. Hamid Nassery, DMD has more than 30 years of experience and is known for TMJ-focused care and whole-body dentistry that connects function, comfort, and long-term stability.
Top reasons doctors refer to Real Smile Dentistry
TMJ and TMD with functional symptoms
Common presentations include jaw tension, clicking or popping, limited opening, headaches, and migraine patterns related to joint and muscle dysfunction.
Neuromuscular anatomic orthotics for TMD patients
Cases where orthotic therapy may be appropriate to support jaw position, muscle balance, and symptom relief.
Mandibular advancement device or appliance therapy
For sleep-related breathing concerns where oral appliance therapy is part of the plan.
Sleep breathing disorders and airway management
Adult and pediatric airway-focused evaluation and care, often tied to sleep quality, snoring, or mouth breathing.
Tongue tie and myofunctional support
Lingual and labial frenectomies, plus myofunctional therapy supported by certified, full-time myofunctional therapists across both locations.
Diagnostics and records we commonly use
- Comprehensive oral exam
- Airway and joint evaluation with patient co-discovery
- Radiographic evaluation, including CBCT when indicated
This supports a clearer diagnosis and more predictable planning, especially in complex functional cases.
What to expect after you refer
Step 1: Intake and consultation
We review the referral concern, symptoms, and health history, then perform our exam and functional evaluation.
Step 2: Clear plan and patient education
Step 3: Follow-up schedule
Step 4: Ongoing care and documentation
If the patient joins our practice for general dentistry, we continue to document findings during routine cleanings and exams to track stability over time.
