Sleep Apnea Dentist San Diego

If I were to tell many sleep apnea patients that a dentist could help them, many would just turn round and say, "What are you, crazy?" But the truth is that these professionals have helped many sufferers with their condition. They are especially useful when used as part of a multi-disciplinary team to manage the condition. And in some areas you will actually find specialist sleep apnea dentists. So what can they do for you?

A specialist dentist or orthodontist can use oral appliances to move the position of the jaw and tongue to overcome some of the problems associated with obstructive sleep apnea. This is the most common type of sleep apnea and occurs when the airway is blocked by the soft tissues at the back of the throat. This leads to the person stopping breathing for short periods during the night, called apneas. These periods can last 10-20 seconds and occur many times throughout the night.


Disturbed sleep and daytime tiredness are two of the features of this condition. But sleep partners will be all too aware of one of the other symptoms of the disorder - loud snoring. It is not uncommon that a whole household has their sleep disturbed because of this.

There are two types of device that a sleep apnea dentist may use to overcome this problem. The first is a mandibular advancement device and the other is a tongue-retaining device.

Mandibular advancement devices move the jaw forward. This also moves with it the tongue and soft tissues at the back of the throat. This makes it less likely that the airway will be obstructed. These devices are made of acrylic or thermoplastic and are individually made to suit the patient. A tongue-retaining device has a compartment where the tongue is held by suction. This maybe useful for patients that have few or no teeth.

These appliances can be effective for overcoming snoring as well as sleep apnea. The best chances of success tend to be for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.

As with using other medical devices there can be a period of adjustment that is necessary by the patient. This can be due to aching or pain in the jaw and either a dry mouth or increased salivation. Talk these issues over with your sleep apnea dentist so that you can both come to a solution that works best for you.

Sleep Apnea Dentist San Diego

Many of the underlying causes of sleep apnea can presently be tackled with by a sleep apnea dentist; there is even a medical branch known as dental sleep dentistry that has known an increase in the number of specialists over the last decade.

Medical practice has shown that sleep apnea may be caused by certain dental and mandibular problems that can be corrected by the surgical or non-surgical intervention of a dentist. Thus, there are all sorts of dental appliances used for the maintenance of a proper opening of the airways and only a sleep apnea dentist can recommend and design one for you.


In case the apnea patient suffers from a jaw deformity or mandibular deficiency that prevents the correct opening of the airways in a deep relaxation state, a sleep apnea dentist will have to create a special appliance to be worn at night.

Such a device would either pull the tongue forward or adjust the position of the jaw so that the air flow may pass unhindered towards the lungs. It should be said nevertheless, that the apnea dentist solutions usually work for the mild and moderate sleep breathing cessation problems, as the more severe cases require other forms of medical intervention.

After close medical investigations a sleep apnea dentist will tell you what type of oral device best matches your condition. The two most popular such devices include the splint and the mandibular advancement device.

The former holds the tongue in a position that allows the air to pass unhindered; this is mainly used for people who suffer from apnea caused by too large a tongue as compared to the diameter of the airways. The latter is a device that forces the jaw in a lower position, thus creating enough room for the air flow; the only problem with the mandibular device consists in the eventual jaw pain after its usage.

Regular visits to the sleep apnea dentist may be necessary particularly if you experience discomfort after the trial period is over. If you don't get used to an oral apnea device within a fortnight, contact the sleep apnea dentist and see how you can improve the situation. Do not purchase any type of apnea appliance since such items require a certain size and molding design that is unique for each individual. A general model will surely be very uncomfortable, even if you'd think it a real bargain.

Sleep Apnea Auto Accidents and Breathing

So you ask, "What do automobile accidents and breathing have to do with each other?" Well you might be surprised to know that the number one cause of automobile
accidents on North American roads each year is tired driving. Unfortunately, obstructive sleep apnea is a huge contributing factor. It deprives people of the rejuvenating sleep that their bodies require. Disruptive sleep fill with arousals, increasing heart rate and high blood pressure does not allow the solid sleep your body requires. Did you know that people suffering from this sleep disorder are seven to twelve times more likely to be involved in an auto accident because of their excessive sleepiness? Limited sleep slows your response time. In fact, sleeping only four hours a night results in reaction times that are equivalent to someone who has a blood alcohol level of .08%.


Sleep apnea is one of the most under-diagnosed life threatening medical disorders in our society today. Despite the lack of attention, tired driving and obstructive sleep apnea are statistically more dangerous than drunk driving. Once you know the statistics, driving down the highway can be a scary proposition.

This sleep disorder is also directly implicated as contributing to heart disease, cerebrovascular insult, diabetes, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and obesity. The list truly goes on and on. If you suffer from bruxism, or awake multiple time through the night, or have morning headaches or if your bed partner has witnessed you snoring and then gasping for air, the likelihood that you are suffering from obstructive sleep apnea is very, very high. It is not necessary for you to have any or all of the aforementioned to have sleep apnea. Realize that not everyone that has apnea is tired. Some people have symptoms with very mild apnea while others don't have symptoms with sever apnea. Bottom line, don't let how you feel make the determination. This is one area that "guilty until proven innocent'" is probably sound advice.

One very good screening tool that has been shown to be predictive of sleep disordered breathing is called the Adjusted Neck Circumference screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Here is the formula: ANC = NC + H (4) + S (3) + C/G (3). ANC is Adjusted Neck Circumference, H is Hypertention, S is Snoring, C/G is Choking/Gasping. The way it is used is that the neck circumference (measured in centimeters) is adjusted if you have hypertention (4 cm added), or a habitual snorer (3 cm added) or chocking or gasping most nights (3 cm added). A low clinical probability corresponds to an adjusted neck circumference of less than 43 cm, an intermediate probability (4 to 8 times as probable) to a neck circumference of 43 to 48 cm, and a high probability (20 times as probable) for a neck circumference of more than 48 cm.

The gold standard for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is CPAP therapy; however oral appliances can be equally affective, particularly in mild and moderate sleep apnea. If you suspect you have sleep apnea, take it seriously and talk with your physician or a dentist that is trained in the treatment of sleep apnea. It could be a conversation that saves your life.

What is involved in getting a crown? Chula Vista, San Diego

Porcelain Caps or Crowns

Caps or Crowns come in several types.  Porcelain is the most popular because it is most attractive and looks natural, unlike metal crowns. They are very strong and will last a long time. You can have a natural looking, beautiful smile with long-lasting porcelain crowns.  They match your teeth in color, shape and size.

What is involved in getting a crown?

It typically takes two appointments to have a crown done. During your first appointment, several extremely accurate molds, or impressions, will be made which will be used in creating your custom crown. A mold will also be utilized in the creation of a temporary crown. This will remain on the tooth for a couple of weeks while the dental laboratory makes the new crown.

Porcelain Fixed Bridges


A porcelain fixed bridge is permanent and is a great way to replace your missing teeth.

There are a few different kinds of bridges. Confer with your dentist to determine your very best options. The most popular option is the "traditional bridge" which is normally made of porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain fixed bridges look like natural teeth, so they are very popular. With this type of bridge, two crowns will cover the abutment or anchoring teeth.  These will be attached to the pontics or artificial teeth.  This fills the gap that is made when teeth are missing.

A dental bridge is quite strong and will last a long time.  Of course, eventually it may need to be replaced or repaired due to normal wear and tear.

What is the process for getting a fixed bridge?

At least two visits are necessary when obtaining a bridge. While the area is numb, a portion of enamel is removed from the two anchoring teeth in preparation for the crown. The next step is the sending of a very accurate mold or impression of your teeth to a dental lab.  There, your new bridge will be created. You may get a temporary bridge to use until your next appointment.

During the second visit, your permanent bridge will be checked, adjusted and cemented, ensuring a correct fit. Sometimes the dentist may choose to cement the bridge on a temporary basis so that the teeth and tissue have time to adjust to the new bridge. Permanent cementing of the bridge will take place at a later time.

After treatment, care instructions will be provided to you. You can extend the life of your new permanent bridge by brushing and flossing properly and visiting your dentist regularly.

Full Dentures and Partial Dentures Chula Vista San Diego

Full Dentures and Partial Dentures

Dentures are appliances that can be removed and put in place of lost teeth and the tissue that is around it. They are crafted to look quite similar to your natural teeth and may even improve your smile.

Two types of dentures are available -- complete dentures and partial dentures. When no teeth remain, complete dentures are utilized, but partial dentures are used if some natural teeth are present. When you have a partial denture, it will fill in the blank left by your missing teeth, and it will protect your remaining teeth by preventing them from shifting.

There are two kinds of dentures: 1. Conventional. 2. Immediate.  Conventional dentures are created after the teeth have been pulled and the gums have healed.  It may take four to six weeks to receive your conventional dentures. The patient will have no teeth during this period.

On the other hand, as soon as your teeth are removed, you will have "immediate dentures".  These are dentures that were made up for you in advance so that you will not have to go toothless until your permanent dentures are made. It will be necessary to make adjustments once the tissues have healed and shrunk.

Dentures are very strong objects that will be around many years, but might have to be made over again, fixed, or altered because of normal use.

Reasons for dentures:

• Complete Denture - If you lose all of the teeth in your arch.
• Partial Denture - Within an arch there is the loss of several teeth.
• Improving smile and tissues of the face.
• Improvement in the processes of chewing, speaking and digestion.

What happens when you get dentures?

A number of appointments will be necessary over a period of several weeks in order to obtain dentures. Extremely accurate impressions, or molds, and measurements are take which are utilized in the creation of your custom denture. To get the right shape, color and fit, a few "try-in" appointments may be required. At your last appointment, the completed denture will be meticulously placed and adjusted to make sure that the fit is natural and comfortable.

Common side effects include greater flow of saliva, a measure of soreness, and some difficulty with chewing and speaking.  These symptoms are usually temporary.  When your tissues and muscles are used to the new dentures, these side effects will subside.

Dental Sealants Chula Vista San Diego

Dental Sealants

A dental sealant is a very thin coating of plastic. It is applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars.  It is also used to fill pits, fissures, and grooves in the teeth. These deep grooves is where the great majority of dental decay starts. When teeth have these conditions, they are difficult to clean and may experience decay. A sealant seals deep grooves, providing protection and creating a surface that is smooth and easy to clean.

Be sure your dentist checks your sealants for chipping and wear at each visit.  With proper care, your sealant will last years.

Why get a sealant? 

• Teenagers and children - It is a good idea during the cavity prone years(6-16).  This is as soon as the first permanent molars appear.
• Adults - Teeth with no signs of decay but that have deep grooves or depressions.
• Baby teeth - Sometimes performed if teeth are deeply grooved or have depressions and the child is prone to getting cavities.

What is involved in the application of sealants?

Your dental hygienist or your dentist can apply sealants quickly and easily.  It just takes about two minutes per tooth.

Once the teeth that need to be sealed are completely clean, they will be surrounded with cotton to keep them dry. The surface of the enamel receives an application of a special material that will help the sealant bond to the teeth. Next the teeth are rinsed and dried. The deep grooves and depressions in the surface of the enamel are covered with sealant material. Considering the kind of sealant that is applied, the substance will either get hard by itself or by using a special curing light.

The life of the new sealants will be assisted by a balanced diet, proper care at home, and regular visits to the dentist.

Composite fillings Chula Vista, San Diego

A composite filling

A filling that is the same color as the tooth is used to fix the tooth that is rotted, cracked, fractured or has another defect. A composite filling is used to repair or replace decayed areas of the tooth.

There are a number of ways to fill a tooth, and there are disadvantages and advantages inherent in each method. Discuss your best tooth restoration options with your dentist. Currently, the most widely used fillings are composite or silver amalgam. Composite fillings are suitable for use in teeth that are most visible, since these fillings are tooth colored and can be matched to the color of existing teeth.

No dental restoration is permanent. Composite fillings will eventually wear out and need replacement. Due to their high level of durability, they will last for quite some time, allowing you to keep your beautiful smile for years.

What is entailed in placing a composite filling?

Normally only a single appointment is required for composite fillings to be placed. Your dentist will remove any decay while the area is numb. Prior to inserting the new filling, the space will be scrupulously cleaned and prepared. If the decayed area was close to the tooth's nerve, a special medication will be inserted as an added layer of protection. Next the composite filling will be meticulously placed, shaped and polished; when finished, you tooth will have been restored to its original shape and function. After your tooth gets used to your filling, your sensitivity to heat and cold should diminish.

At the end of your treatment, you will receive care instructions. Your new fillings will last longer if you practice good oral hygiene, eat nutritious foods and have regular dental check ups.

Periodontal Treatment CHula Vista, San Diego

Periodontal Treatment

Depending upon how severe your periodontal disease is, treatment will vary. After performing an evaluation for periodontal disease, your dentist and hygienist will make a recommendation regarding the correct treatment.

When the space or pocket (sulcus) between gums and tooth becomes filled with tartar, bacteria and plaque, it causes irritation and periodontal disease progresses. Gum damage can occur and bone supporting the teeth can be undermined if these irritants are allowed to remain in the pocket space.

When gingivitis is discovered in its early stages, before damage has occurred, one or two regular cleanings will be suggested. Instructions will also be provided regarding how to improve your daily oral hygiene habits, and you will be encouraged to have regular dental cleanings.

If the disease is more advanced, scaling and planing will be recommended. This is a special periodontal cleaning method. Normally one quadrant of the mouth is numbed and treated at a time. Scaling is the process used to remove toxins, plaque and tartar from below the gum line.  Planing is the process used to smooth rough spots on the root surface. This procedure promotes healing of gum tissue and shrinkage of pockets. To help control infection and promote healing, your provider may suggest medications, special medicated mouth rinses and an electric toothbrush.

If, after scaling and root planing, the pockets do not heal, the pocket depths may need to be surgically reduced; this will result in making it an easier matter to clean the teeth. It is possible that your dentist will tell you to make an appointment with a Periodontist, a dental professional who specializes in caring for gums and supporting bone.
