Sleep Apnea Relief

Relief for Sleep Apnea

This problem results in loud, incessant snoring or interrupted breathing while sleeping due to the airway being obstructed. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you may have already been fitted with a CPAP device. This machine pumps air through a mask that fits over the nose and mouth to maintain a flow of air into the lungs. 

Although it works well for breathing and snoring problems, the mask for the CPAP machine may be uncomfortable to wear all night. As a result, patients stop wearing the mask and the problem recurs. 

Let us introduce to you a small, comfortable acrylic device that fits over upper and lower teeth. It is similar to a retainer or mouthguard and gently repositions your jaw and tongue to keep the airway open for continual, easy breathing. It's a cinch to insert and remove, no fuss to clean, and highly portable for traveling. More than 90% of patients who use this device have reported success in comfort and continual breathing. Please give us a call today so you can get the restful sleep you need.

Mini Dental Implants

Denture Wearers - Have You Been Told You Can't Have Implants?

In the past, many patients who wanted dental implants were told that because they lacked sufficient bone density they were not candidates for implants. Today that's all changed. We can now place mini implants that don't need as much bone strength as regular implants require. Mini implants will anchor your dentures so there's no slipping or wandering. The really good news is that they can be placed with virtually no pain and they cost less than regular implants. The procedure is fast and easy and most often can be completed in one visit.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 6

Implants
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges blend in with your other teeth, and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 5

Braces
While orthodontic work that begins while a child is growing helps produce optimal results, that doesn’t mean that adults can’t have braces. Thanks to advances in orthodontic treatments, metal brackets are not your only option. Removable aligners, or invisible braces,î or clear plastic brackets can all be used to straighten crooked or crowded teeth.

Children's Dental Sealants

Reduce the Chances of Cavities for Your Children - the Easy Way!

Sometimes even meticulous brushing doesn't clean all the grooves in the back teeth. Once bacteria and acids build up, plaque forms, eventually producing cavities. Even the smallest cavity causes permanent damage and will require a filling. But there is a preventive technique that can greatly help to keep this from happening. You'll be amazed how easy the treatment is!

All teeth are cleaned and sanitized. A coat of the sealant is applied to the entire surface of each molar. The sealant is clear and completely invisible. Dr. Bork then uses a curing light to bond the sealant to the teeth. It's completed that easily! No shots or drills are necessary. This is the most effective treatment to help children and adolescents keep their natural teeth cavity free.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 4

Bonding
Not happy with the way your teeth look? Bonding may be the answer. For some, it can help restore the natural look of your teeth. Bonding is a process where the dentist attaches or “bonds” materials directly to your tooth. Your natural tooth enamel and dentin are fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks great.

Preventative Dental Care for Children

Your Choice of Dentist is Important for Your Child's Good Health

We instill in children the importance of good dental habits at each visit, because children's teeth are prone to dental caries (cavities) for various reasons. Children often do not do a thorough job of brushing their teeth. We advise parents to oversee their children's brushing and flossing to ensure they do a good job. Young kids tend to eat throughout the day (grazing). This results in more acid production (eating produces acids in the mouth) and can lead to more cavities. 

Teeth that are not clean to begin with will also contribute to acid production, which can increase the risk of cavities. Healthy food choices and excellent daily cleaning routines reduce this risk. We also recommend one application of a mineralizing fluoride varnish to protect the teeth from decay.
