Sleep apnea is a common yet often under-recognized sleep disorder.

While it’s widely acknowledged that sleep apnea affects men more frequently, its impact on women is significant and warrants closer attention. The condition can lead to a variety of health issues, and its symptoms in women can be quite different from those typically observed in men.

Oftentimes, many people will dismiss something as trivial by saying, “It’s just cosmetic." In dentistry, the appearance and health of a smile go hand-in-hand.

Bright white enamel shows that your teeth are healthy. Straight teeth function better than crooked teeth, and they’re easier to care for and improve oral health.

Smiles also play a key role in how we perceive ourselves and communicate with others. When we feel confident, we tend to have better personal and professional relationships, and a smile helps boost it.

Does your bad breath linger after brushing your teeth? Have you visited your dentist lately? If not, it may be time for a dental cleaning!

Bad breath can be caused by bacteria in the mouth, so it's important to visit your dentist for a cleaning and to determine whether it is caused by poor oral hygiene or another cause.

Struggling with snoring?

For some patients, snoring is temporary and not linked to a serious underlying condition. In these cases, a simple behavior change can often completely eliminate snoring. However, while snoring is harmless for many, it can sometimes be a sign of a more serious condition called sleep apnea.

Although full mouth reconstruction is often used to address cosmetic flaws, it can also treat TMJ.

TMJ can cause a misaligned bite that wears and tears teeth. We will first use a bite splint to realign your jaw and restore and treat any damaged teeth.

Once the jaw and teeth conditions improve, we can consider full mouth reconstruction to preserve the jaw position. Having teeth at the optimized position and size will allow the jaw to sit naturally and not shift out of balance.

Sleep apnea is a condition in which one's breathing stops for a period of time when asleep.

Depending on the type of sleep apnea, you may stop breathing due to:
• A physical obstruction blocking the airway (Obstructive Sleep Apnea)
• The brain does not send a neurological signal to the lungs to breathe (Central Sleep Apnea)
• A combination of the types of sleep apnea mentioned before (Complex Sleep Apnea)

If you suspect you have sleep apnea, book an appointment with us at https://www.kuzmaadvanceddentistry.com/book-appt/ to find the right treatment for you.

Missing teeth or facing tooth loss?

You can start fresh with dental implants! Whether it's a single tooth, multiple teeth, or full rows, implants mimic natural teeth and come in various forms—single implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-mouth dentures.

They offer a perfect replacement, letting you smile confidently, speak clearly, and enjoy your favorite foods. With care like natural teeth, dental implants are a lasting investment for a lifetime.

Did you know? About 40% of TMJ sufferers also experience frequent migraines.

The link between these conditions involves the trigeminal nerve, which controls jaw muscles and can trigger migraines. TMJ treatment targets this nerve, preventing the release of pain-causing proteins and potentially easing migraines and other chronic pains.

Gum disease occurs when bacteria accumulate in spaces and pockets around the teeth, causing the gums to become inflamed and destroy the tissue and bones that support teeth.

Luckily, when gum disease is caught and treated early (as gingivitis), these health risks can be avoided. When it worsens and progresses to periodontitis, then the health risks extend beyond the mouth.

Missing her lateral incisors from birth, this young lady had implants and crowns placed. However, she was still self-conscious about her smile because the underlying metal caused her new crowns to look gray. I replaced the metal parts with ceramic and made two new crowns for her. A subtle change made a huge difference and gave her the confidence to smile!

Sleep apnea symptoms manifest differently when awake and asleep. Though sleep apnea is a condition that occurs when someone is asleep, many indicators can be noted when awake.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, sleep apnea may be the root cause. Book an appointment at https://www.kuzmaadvanceddentistry.com/book-appt/ to discuss if sleep apnea treatment is right for you.

At first, getting a new crown with CEREC ®️ is like getting a traditional crown: your teeth are prepped by having some of the natural tooth material, including damaged and decayed parts, removed.

Afterward, a digital scan is taken to map out your mouth and allow the new crown to be planned. The crown is created in a CEREC ®️ machine, a computerized mill that grinds a preselected color block into your new crown! After the crown is created, it can be compared to your existing teeth before it is bonded. All of this occurs during one visit!

This patient came to Kuzma Advanced Dentistry with deteriorating front teeth, feeling self-conscious about their appearance.

Initially, they tried a night guard for teeth grinding, but it wasn't effective. Dr. Kuzma then proposed a year-long treatment using Invisalign to align the teeth, followed by porcelain veneers. This comprehensive approach resulted in a much brighter and even smile, significantly boosting the patient's confidence.

Both the patient and Dr. Kuzma were delighted with the stunning results achieved through advanced technology and personalized care!
