Our Additional Services
Our additional services provide targeted treatments to address specific dental needs, including night guards for teeth grinding, sleep apnea appliances for better sleep, laser therapy for oral lesions, and oral sedation for anxiety-free dental experiences, all contributing to enhanced oral health and patient comfort.
Laser Cold Sore & Canker Sore Therapy
Laser cold sore and canker sore therapy involves the use of low-level laser light to alleviate the discomfort and speed up the healing process of cold sores and canker sores. This non-invasive treatment targets the affected area, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and promoting tissue regeneration. Laser therapy is quick, painless, and can be performed in-office, offering patients a convenient and effective solution for managing these common oral lesions.
- Alleviates discomfort
- Speeds up the healing process of oral lesions
- Non-invasive treatment option with minimal discomfort
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation helps patients relax during dental procedures by administering medication orally before the appointment. This induces deep relaxation, reduces anxiety, and ensures a more comfortable and stress-free experience without the need for intravenous sedation.
- Does not require needles or invasive procedures
- Induces deep relaxation, reducing stress and discomfort during treatment
- Allows patients to remain conscious and responsive throughout the procedure
Sleep Apnea/Snoring Appliances
Sleep apnea and snoring appliances are dental devices designed to alleviate the symptoms of sleep-related breathing disorders. These custom-made appliances are worn during sleep to reposition the jaw or tongue, keeping the airway open and allowing for uninterrupted breathing. By preventing airway obstruction and reducing snoring, these appliances improve sleep quality and reduce the risk of complications associated with sleep apnea, such as daytime fatigue and cardiovascular problems.
- Custom-made for a comfortable fit
- Non-invasive treatment option compared to CPAP machines
- Improves sleep quality by reducing interruptions caused by sleep apnea
Night Guards
Night guards, also known as occlusal guards or bite splints, are custom-made dental appliances designed to protect the teeth from the detrimental effects of bruxism, clenching, and grinding during sleep. By providing a cushioning barrier between the upper and lower teeth, these guards help prevent wear and tear, fractures, and enamel damage caused by the repetitive forces exerted during nocturnal habits.
- Protects teeth from wear and tear
- Helps maintain proper alignment of the teeth and jaw
- Prevents fractures and enamel damage, preserving the integrity of the teeth
