Our Mission
Progress is all about change, and change is all about challenge. Those who do not rise to the challenge remain where they are. We at MyoTech have dedicated ourselves to looking at the whole person, not just the teeth. We have invested heavily in many forms of study, training, and equipment to ensure that we provide you, our patients, with the very best care available. We focus on the outcome, not the income, so that you can rest assured that you won’t leave us until we have done everything in our power and used all of our skills to restore you to optimal health and function.
How We Achieve This
Many people put up with what they have because they are not aware of other options — With the many skills and services we can provide, we are able to show that there are viable and affordable ways to address the issues that have been bothering you for years. They might be cosmetic, they might affect the way you eat, and might cause you unnecessary pain and discomfort. We can help you.
Our model of care is based on the iceberg — where ten percent is visible, but the hidden 90 percent does all the damage. Our toothberg addresses both.
- Most dental offices focus their attention on the ten percent of the issues which are visible, and appear to be the problem.
- The reality is that, in many cases, what we are seeing is the result of problems elsewhere in the body — eventually causing trouble in the mouth affecting the jaws, teeth, breathing, swallowing, and sleep.
- We have specialized education and training in looking at the whole person so that we can see why the problems have occurred.
- MyoTech follows the principles of integrative dental care so that we look after the patient attached to the teeth as well as looking after the teeth attached to the patient.
Strong, healthy, attractive teeth, gums, and smile
First impressions are very important and our teeth and smile are what people really notice. At MyoTech, we have over 60 years of combined experience and expertise in taking care of your mouth and teeth. Whether you require orthodontics to straighten your teeth, restoration of broken and damaged teeth, implants or cosmetic aligning and veneering, we do it all in the latest, most modern, and best-equipped center in the Quad Cities. From our state-of-the-art chairs to our comfortable and peaceful sedation program, you could not be in better hands.
The physical, emotional, and biochemical issues that cause chronic illness
Eating/chewing
If your teeth won’t allow you to chew efficiently, you might be changing your diet to foods that are easier to eat and perhaps not the best for a balanced diet. Our implant program can restore functional chewing and swallowing so that you can have a better-balanced diet for better health.
Walking/talking
The feet are at the opposite end of the body as the mouth, jaws, and teeth, and both can affect each other. Your posture is critical to the way you function and feel, and we do a detailed posture analysis to identify any possible issues. Open mouth, head forward, stooped sitting or walking, stiff neck and tight shoulders are all warning signs.
Stress
This is, without a doubt, the most serious cause of dysfunction in people. Medical data from around the world confirms that stress is the main cause of most chronic diseases, and it has a major impact on dental health. Stress can cause you to clench, grind, and tense the muscles of your face and neck, often resulting in severe head, neck, and jaw pain — as well as constantly broken crowns and other restorations. MyoTech can teach you the power of calm, which will make a huge difference to the way you feel and function.
Breathing
The prime focus of the brain, mind, and body is on taking the next breath. We breathe more times a day than any other function, apart from heartbeat. Breathing controls every single process in the body and needs to be balanced and regular in order for you to remain healthy. MyoTech has specialized equipment and trained staff to check your breathing patterns and efficiency, and teach you simple and effective exercises that restore your breathing to its most efficient level.
Sleeping
Without the right amount of good-quality sleep, our bodies simply do not function efficiently and we have to compensate during the day, causing us more stress at night and turning this into a vicious cycle. Poor-quality sleep is directly linked to heart disease, digestive disorder, low energy, chronic tiredness, and many other long-term diseases. MyoTech has specialized in one of the major causes of poor-quality sleep and has a variety of programs, as well as appliances, to help you get the best sleep possible.
We cannot create health in a person — it is a natural state the majority of people are born with. What we can do is help to identify the obstacles to good health and show people how we can help them take control of their wellbeing.
