Dr. Clinton Esler

Clinton Esler is a dentist with a lifelong enthusiasm for providing the highest possible level of service. His energy for that has led him through years of post-graduate training which in turn has familiarized him with every improvement in dentistry over the past 31 years. He has selected the best for your ongoing dental care.

"My enthusiasm is not limited to the science of dentistry," he says. "It's about what we can do for people, how we can enhance their health and appearance, help them feel better, and ultimately change their life. I've seen it happen time and again and it never fails to overwhelm me."

Dr. Esler graduated from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), a world-renowned school for neuromuscular dentistry. LVI even gave him a Fellowship for his time there. As a highly-qualified neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Esler can diagnose and treat the painful condition of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD).

One of the most common and most puzzling of the TMD symptoms is headaches. Perhaps you have suffered from chronic headaches, and have taken various medications for them, but still the problem remains. Have you wondered whether they might have a dental cause?

TMD is a misaligned jaw joint and after your jaw and teeth are re-aligned correctly, the painful headaches will be a thing of the past. A misaligned jaw can also be part of sleep apnea, where the airway becomes blocked during sleep. Dr. Esler is trained and experienced in treating snoring and sleep apnea and by restoring your good night's sleep can improve your general health in many ways.
