Practice Philosophy
Symmetry Modern Dentistry is unique from other dental clinics in its’ theory and approach to treating crowded teeth, TMD, and sleep issues. While many dentists direct their focus on the teeth alone, Dr. Deals’ philosophy is to treat each patient with whole-body health in mind. The head and neck are the gateway to life’s most important requirement, air. Thus, it is obvious that a disturbance in this gateway can affect your overall health in numerous ways. Research today has shown that the underlying issues in most orthodontic, TMJ, and sleep cases are dealing with underdeveloped upper jaws. Underdeveloped jaws limit the space behind the jaws, which leads to a diminished airway. At Symmetry Modern Dentistry, we recognize that if the patient is able to breathe easier, a lot of their health issues tend to diminish or disappear. Our goal is to correct the growth of the patients’ jaws and open their airway to prevent or fix issues like crowding, sleep apnea, or TMJ

Growth Guidance
Growth guidance is so important in our practice philosophy that it deserves a more in-depth explanation. Studies show that between 80-85% of humans have an underdeveloped maxilla (top jaw).
TMD | TMJ
TMJ is a serious and complex condition having to do with the relationship between the teeth, muscles, and jaw joints. Unlike other dental conditions, Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ is not a tooth-by-tooth problem but a whole-body one. Learn More…

The Big Three
Our Patients Think We're A "Big Deal"
Dr Deal and his staff were so very welcoming and accommodating to my treatment needs! After a thorough interview and examination, he was able to pinpoint the cause of my TMJ pain and proposed a customized treatment plan for my specific problem. His explanation of the normal anatomy of the TMJ and how my joint had deviated from normal was easy to comprehend and visualize with detailed models and state of the art imaging. My treatment plan was initiated that day along with a follow up in 3 months to determine if it needs to be adjusted or how well it’s working. Kim was very thorough on how to complete my at home sleep study and all the next steps in my journey to finding pain relief. Dr Deal and his staff are amazing at what they do and their expertise was on full display. I can’t recommend them enough!!!
This is where other dentists go to find relief!!
