Our office now offers Invisalign. Invisalign treatment is an alternative to braces that uses clear, plastic aligners to correct misaligned teeth slowly. Aligners are custom-made for each placement and designed to be undetectable on your teeth. Aligners can be removed for eating and chewing, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene during Invisalign treatment.
Treatment of Sleep Apnea
The treatment of Sleep Apnea is widely growing. We are beginning to learn that there is a direct correlation between airway, facial and oral posture, and development from childhood. Did you know that about 80-percent of heart attack and stroke victims also suffer from sleep apnea (some diagnosed and others undiagnosed). Those are high statistics. Think about it: if you are not getting the appropriate amount of oxygen, you stress out other systems in your body including your heart.
As an adult with sleep apnea, you may be sleeping with what is called a C-PAP machine that forces oxygen into the lungs so you don’t stop breathing. There are different methods to treating adults including oral posturing appliances to surgery. Discuss your options with our doctors today!
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge typically is made up of two dental crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the empty tooth space. Bridges can be made from various materials, gold, porcelain, and metal alloys.
The first step in placing a bridge is to prepare the teeth on either side of the empty tooth space. Our associates will trim down the adjacent teeth to make room for the crowns to be placed over them. Next, an impression of the prepared teeth will be taken and sent to a lab, where the bridge will be made. Once the new bridge comes back from the lab, an appointment will be made to place the bridge over the prepared teeth and glued into place.
