 Dr. Steven Lawson, DMDMission Statement: Pain doesn’t have to be a way of life. For patients with TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS (TMD), there are non-invasive techniques for alleviating your pain. Dr. Lawson places emphasis on delivering the best that modern healthcare has to offer and on treating each patient with the individual care and attention you deserve. He has a no-compromise attitude and work hard to produce exceptional results for each and every patient. Dr. Lawson focuses on the treatment of disorders related to the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and sleep; we are not a general dentistry practice. Health Care Providers (Dentists, Physicians, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists) refer patients who require more specialized treatment to us. Our staff has completed advanced training in both TMJ and sleep disorders and we continually hone our skills. We also incorporate state-of-the-art technologies to offer our patients the best alternatives available. Dr. Lawson's present scope of practice and state of the art facility (unique to the Manitoba area), are devoted to these disciplines of healthcare. The facility utilizes the latest technology to diagnose and treat symptoms and return patients to a state of health where they can enjoy life free from pain and discomfort. On this website, you’ll find information about our practice, our office, our staff and TMD and sleep disorders. We invite you to browse the site and learn more about the way we operate and about issues associated with the causes, diagnoses and treatments for a variety of TMD, Sleep Disorders, Orthodontics and Functional Jaw Orthopedics. Please feel free to email us with any comments or questions. Thank you. About Dr. Lawson Dr. Steve Lawson graduated in 1986 from the University of Manitoba. While dentistry has been his full time service since 1986, he immediately developed a keen interest in Orthodontics and the dynamics of the growing face. Dr. Lawson has completed extensive training all over North America from leaders in Myofunctional Therapy, Functional Jaw Orthopedics, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD), Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Orthodontics. Dr. Lawson's present scope of practice and newly developed facility are devoted to these disciplines of healthcare. His Multi-Discplinary, Orthopedic Appliance Therapy treatment philosophy is conservative and non-surgical whenever possible. He also believes that a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment including orthotic therapy, myofacial therapy and physical therapy may be in the best interests of his patients. The newly developed facility utilizes the latest technology to diagnose and treat symptoms and return patients to a state of health where they can enjoy life free from craniofacial pain and discomfort. He also realizes that the developing face and dentition of children can be positively influenced with similar conserative, non-surgical methods, which enhance function and facial balance. This will ensure that our children do not suffer from unbalanced jaw relationships. Dr. Lawson is a member of the International Association of Orthodontics, the American Association for Functional Orthopedics and the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain. He is also a Charter Member of the Functional Freedom Corporation.
