Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. These pauses, which can last for a few seconds to several minutes, can occur hundreds of times per night. When breathing stops, oxygen levels in the blood drop, which can lead to a variety of health problems. If you have sleep apnea, it is important to get treatment to improve your sleep quality and reduce your risk of serious health problems.

Snap-On Smile is a cosmetic dental appliance that offers a removable and non-permanent solution for enhancing the appearance of teeth and gums. This innovative system consists of a thin, custom-made resin material that covers the existing teeth, creating a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, plastic-like coatings that are painted onto the chewing surfaces of teeth, particularly the back teeth to prevent tooth decay. These sealants act as a protective barrier, shielding the grooves and pits on the teeth’s surfaces from the sticky acids produced by bacteria in plaque.
Prophylaxis
Prophylaxis, meaning “prevention” in Greek, is a crucial aspect of dental care that focuses on preventing dental problems and maintaining optimal oral health. It encompasses a range of preventive measures and treatments that aim to protect the teeth and gums from decay, disease, and other harmful conditions.
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing (SRP) is a comprehensive dental procedure that aims to deep clean the teeth and gums below the gum line, removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria that can cause gum disease. This procedure is typically performed by a periodontist, a dentist specializing in the treatment of gum disease.
Composite Dental Fillings
Composite dental fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are a versatile and aesthetically pleasing option for restoring teeth damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, which are silver-colored, composite fillings are made of a resin material that can be matched to the natural color of the tooth, providing a more natural-looking restoration.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative Dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry where dentists rebuild the original structure of your mouth. While the goal is always to maintain as much of your natural configuration as possible, the truth is that infection and trauma can sometimes damage your teeth beyond repair. There are a variety of tactics our dentists may use to restore your mouth.
Dentures and Partials
Dentures and partials are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and restore chewing, speaking, and smiling function. While both dentures and partials offer solutions for tooth loss, they differ in their design and application. If you are considering dentures or partials, consulting a dentist is essential.
