The Pure Power Mouthguard - Breaking News from Dr. Phil Nasralla
The Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM), the technological wonder that is making big news by enabling star athletes to perform at unprecedented levels, is now being offered by Comox dentist, Dr. Phil Nasralla. The revolutionary mouth guard holds an athlete's jaw in a position that allows the jaw and neck muscles to relax and instantly delivers improved body strength, balance, and flexibility.

On
the golf course or on the slopes, the perfect bite has the power to
significantly improve athletic performance, according to Comox dentist
Dr. Phil Nasralla.
While the pros are already on top of the latest in neuromuscular dentistry, which aims to correct overbites by aligning the muscles and jaw, Nasralla said he saw a place for the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) in the Comox Valley.
"I see it fitting in just about anywhere. It could benefit anyone at any level. It doesn't matter your ability or sport," said Nasralla, who has practised in the Valley for nearly 15 years.
Developed by Canadian dentist Dr. Anil Makkar, Nasralla said the PPM catered to athletes who wanted to excel in strength, balance, speed and flexibility, but it was also beneficial for people experiencing physical strain at work and at play.

Implants have arrived
Dr.Nasralla
is pleased to announce that he is now placing dental implants for his
patients. Implants offer a whole new realm of treatment options to
restoring one's smile to optimum health. A dental implant is an
artificial tooth root (titanium screw) and is used in dentistry to
support restorations that replace one or more teeth in the form of
crowns, bridges and dentures.
The earliest example of dental implants (sea shells) have been found in Mayan jawbones dating circa 600 A.D. However modern implant dentistry is credited to Dr.Branemark, a Swedish orthopedic surgeon who in the 1950's was conducting research on rabbits. One day he observed that titanium metal placed in the bone was not easily retrieved and consequently the bone had grown and adhered to the titanium surfaces (osseointegration). Dr. Branemark carried out further studies both in animal and human subjects and confirmed this phenomenon of osseointegration with regular consistency. In the past 40 years over 7 million Branemark type dental implants have been placed in people around the world.
