When a dental patient comes into our Capital District dental office and says “I do not like my smile” — we ask insightful questions in an effort to better align ourselves with how they view their appearance. Sometimes, our viewpoints can differ from theirs — and we want to have an open, honest conversation to help ensure we are able to achieve every patient’s individual smile goals.

Sometimes a patient is desiring a brighter, whiter smile — and, we have a variety of teeth whitening methods that can work wonders! If patient comments about not liking how their teeth are arranged (sometimes due to overcrowding) — we might suggest Invisalign or a combination of Invisalign and veneers.

As a general dental practice, we are able to draw from several disciplines of dentistry to incorporate a variety of techniques to get you to where you want to be. If you are searching for a dentist in the Capital District to provide the best care possible, our team is ready to help you love your smile! Please give us a call to request a consultation.

The general treatment for sleep apnea is a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine. In short, this is a medical device where patients wear a mask at night that pushes air down the throat. The continuous flow of air keeps a patient’s airway kept open, eliminating the negative effects of sleep apnea.

Many people cannot stand wearing a CPAP, and subsequently do not treat their sleep apnea with this device due to its bulkiness, loud operation, and general discomfort.

Sleep apnea appliances are designed to reposition the jaw to open up the airway, allowing a patient to breathe easier at night and virtually eliminate sleep apnea and snoring. They are much smaller, emit no loud noises, can virtually eliminate sleep apnea — and are very cost-effective.

Excessive grinding and pressure from jaw muscles can lead to tremendous TMJ problems, loss of teeth mobility, loss of bone, notches in teeth, and excessive wear. We understand that when a dental patient is suffering from the loss of teeth, there are multiple reasons. When you are taking steps to correct the issue and receive replacement teeth from our office (dentures, crowns, bridges, or dental implants), we always make it a goal to provide relief and protection from pressure (especially with dental implant patients), A tried and true method of ensuring your restorations stay healthy is through delivering Botox to the chewing muscles as a quick post-operatory procedure. This method weakens the force placed on implants and tooth restorations during the healing period, ensuring your dental work lasts. We also have the ability to make our dental patients nightguards that provide protection from involuntary clenching and girding while sleeping.
