Our Additional Care Services
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options help anxious patients relax through any procedure. We offer nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, along with oral conscious sedation and IV options, all with a trained and monitored team so you can wake up feeling rested. Learn more about Sedation Dentistry.
Sleep Apnea & Snore Guards
Custom oral appliances can help treat mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring without the bulk of a CPAP machine. Each appliance is custom-fit, travel-friendly and designed to help you enjoy quieter, deeper sleep, and insurance coverage is available. Read more about Sleep Apnea & Snore Guards.
TMJ Treatment
Jaw pain, clicking, headaches or teeth grinding can all be signs of a jaw joint problem. Our TMJ care starts with a thorough assessment and bite analysis, and can include custom night appliances for long-term symptom relief. Find out more about TMJ Treatment.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting preserves or rebuilds jaw bone to support future implants and maintain facial structure. It includes socket preservation and implant site preparation using modern graft materials and a smooth healing protocol. Discover more about Bone Grafting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which additional service is right for me?
It depends on your symptoms. Sedation helps with dental anxiety, an oral appliance can help with snoring or mild to moderate sleep apnea, TMJ treatment addresses jaw pain, clicking and grinding, and bone grafting prepares the jaw for implants. After a quick assessment, we recommend the option that fits your needs.
Can a dentist treat sleep apnea?
A dentist can provide a custom oral appliance to help treat snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. A physician confirms a sleep apnea diagnosis, often with a sleep study, and more severe cases may need other treatment such as CPAP. We can work with your doctor to find the right option for you.
When should I see a dentist for jaw pain?
See a dentist if you have jaw pain that lasts, clicking or popping when you open your mouth, headaches, or teeth that look worn from grinding. Jaw problems often get worse without care. A bite analysis and TMJ assessment can find the cause and lead to lasting relief.
Is sedation dentistry safe, and what options do you offer?
Yes. Sedation is used safely every day when it is planned around your health and monitored by a trained team. We offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation and IV options, and we review your medical history to choose the right one for you.
Is additional care covered by insurance or the CDCP?
Coverage depends on the service and your plan. Insurance coverage is available for sleep apnea appliances, and many plans cover part of other services when they are medically needed. We bill most insurance plans directly and can help you understand what to expect before treatment.
