Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air? If this happens to you or you routinely wake up each morning feeling as if you have not slept, you may suffer from sleep apnea. Other symptoms include loud snoring that goes on through the night and painful headaches when you awake. Failing to take action against this condition can lead to negative consequences for your cardiovascular system, so please let us know about your troubles at night.

At Sunny Smiles, we could provide a nonsurgical solution to help treat your difficulties breathing at night. By taking time to learn the harm of constantly interrupting your sleep cycle, you can take action to gain desirable relief! With a custom oral appliance, we can help open your airways to increase your comfort while you sleep.

Receiving Your All-On-Four Implant Dentures

When you begin to lose the majority of your teeth, it can start to feel overwhelming. Advanced tooth loss creates many complications such as the inability to enjoy hard foods and lack of support for your facial structure. Without the support of your bite, your jawbone can even begin to erode. Fortunately, restoring your lost teeth with dental implants can return the stimulation of your bite to maintain your bones and return support to your lips and cheeks. Even better, All-On-Four can provide a fixed denture solution in as little as a single trip to our office.

At Sunny Smiles, we can help you regain the function of your bite after losing your teeth. While traditional dentures can provide a temporary fix, they must be replaced fairly often to accommodate the loss of jaw density. But with a permanent denture, you can enjoy a solution that supports the health of your bones. By learning the benefits of this treatment, you can decide which method best restores your smile after losing teeth!

Staying on top of regular trips to your dentist’s office helps you maintain your healthy smile.
