People with missing teeth have difficulty doing certain things that most people are fortunate to take for granted. Like eating and talking. Just one missing tooth—to say nothing of several—can make chewing some foods a challenge. As a consequence, malnourishment may become a very real concern. Also, teeth play a critical role in a person’s ability to speak clearly and enunciate words. If teeth are missing, then a person may be reluctant to talk. The result is lowered self-esteem and confidence, both of which can have adverse effects in both social and professional settings. Thus, the need to replace missing teeth is crucial for physical and emotional well-being. You have several options to choose from for tooth replacement, but one of the best is a dental implant. At Drake & Voto in Owasso, OK, our dentists have restored smiles and confidence for many patients with beautiful and comfortable dental implants.

Filed under: Restorative Dental Care — Tags: , , , , — drakevotodds @ 9:10 pm

Do you struggle trying to sleep soundly through the night, uninterrupted? Does your significant other complain about your constant snoring? Do you feel as if you could fall asleep at work or during your commute to and from the office? You may have a condition called sleep apnea. This condition often goes undiagnosed for thousands of people, and it can have a staggering affect on your daily routine. This problem is treatable through therapy. Those in the Owasso, OK region can find solace in treatment by visiting Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

How Do I Know if I Have Sleep Apnea?

Loud, frequent snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea.

Loud, frequent snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea.

Although snoring is a common condition of sleep apnea, it may not necessarily signal the disorder. Loud, frequent snoring with noticeable pauses is a definite sign of this condition. Briefly, interrupted, or shallow breathing during sleep is another warning sign, as these pauses can jolt you out of your normal sleeping pattern and potentially endanger your health. Choking or gasping while snoring is another major sign that you may have sleep apnea. Constant sleepiness and restlessness throughout the day is a direct effect of this condition, and it can cause rapid moments of drowsiness and inactiveness. Smaller signs and symptoms are morning headaches, memory problems or the inability to concentrate throughout the day, mood swings, and dry mouth or sore throat when you wake in the morning. If these warning signs apply to you, come see us as soon as possible.

What Kind of Therapy Can Treat This?

Drake & Voto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry have a simple solution to help combat this condition. First, we talk with you, listen to your symptoms, and form a diagnosis. If diagnosed with sleep apnea, we take an impression of your teeth, send it to our lab, and fabricate a custom oral appliance.
