It may seem odd to discuss your sleep habits with your dentist. However, there are certain sleep disorders that can be effectively treated with the help of a qualified dentist who is trained in dental sleep medicine. If you are snoring loudly or waking up gasping for air throughout the night, you may be a candidate for sleep apnea treatment.
While it may not sound like a big deal, a dry mouth can not only be extremely uncomfortable to deal with, but it can also pose a serious threat to your smile health. Adequate levels of saliva are needed to help you chew your food, swallow and even speak. However, your saliva also plays a crucial role in your oral health. It rinses away bacteria from your teeth and gums as well as neutralizes harmful acids inside your mouth. Without enough spit, your risk for decay is up to three times greater! Considering that 1 in 4 adults suffer from some degree of dry mouth, it is imperative that you understand its culprits and consequences so that you can seek proper treatment.
When it comes to maintaining healthy teeth and gums, you probably know that you should brush and floss daily as well as see your dentist every six months. However, there are other driving factors that can make or break your oral health. If you really want to protect your pearly whites and avoid dental damage over time, it is time to pay attention to your diet. More specifically, start understanding the pH value of what you eat and drink each day.

Dr. Thompson is an amazing dentist. Her professionalism and expertise is to be admired, and she is just an all-around nice lady. I haven't always had good experiences when choosing a dentist at random from my insurance companies' in-network listings, but Dream Dentist worked out perfectly. Where other dentists were giving me dates of weeks (or months) later to be seen, she was able to fit me in as a new patient the following week, during one of my rare days off work. The initial cleaning was punctual and great, and the follow-on procedure (a back molar filling) was probably the most painless & comfortable I've ever had, even without any sedation... Which she also offers, if that's your preference. Also her location is super-convenient. I will definitely be trusting her with all my preventative, restorative, and cosmetic future dental needs, and will also recommend her to friends & family.

Had x-rays, impressions, extraction, and a partial fitted. Dr. Thompson and dental hygienists were great. I have dentist anxiety, but was put at ease slowly. Everything turned out fine. I would highly recommend Dr. Thompson and her team.

Our family dentist retired last year so we had to find a new one. Dr. Thompson came highly recommended. She and her staff were very thoughtful. They took their time to explain every detail of the procedure to make sure we understood what was being done. My granddaughter was very pleased with the way things went. If you're looking for a dentist, look no further than Dream Dentist.

I had to switch dentists due to my insurance changing, and I have a lot of dental anxiety. I was treated very well and had a great experience for my first check up and cleaning.

Dream Dentist was a beyond the best and most humbling dental experience I have ever had. From the front desk to the back office (dental chair), the hospitality and professionalism was above all others. Having a unique version of dental coverage, through the military, brought about a handful of challenges to get scheduled and covered, but Tiffany took it in stride to ensure I was taken care of. Every employee I met at Dream Dental treated me as if I was family, and it was clear that they treat each other the same. I HIGHLY recommend Dream Dental, as it will be the best dental experience you will have. Thank you to the Dream Dental family for helping me out!

It's extremely unfortunate that I will no longer be using this office. I was asked to move a 2pm appointment up to 1:30 for their convenience of schedule. I arrived at 1:34 waited in lobby for 5mins and was told they can not honor my appointment. I have never dealt with a more rude and less customer focused business.

I admit that being able to be sedated for dentistry work is truly wonderful....BUT the work done here is EXTREMELY SUBPAR!!! A crown had to be replaced and affiliated had to be replaced...within a matter of months!!! I saw on films how one of her crowns looked compared to another crown....it was RIDICULOUS!!!! The treating dentist explained the errors DR Thompson had made.....costing me thousands. Do yourself a favor and find another/better sleep dentist office....maybe where a Porsche isn't in the parking lot....just saying...

Hello everyone!!! If I could give this Dental Office 10 stars...I would. Dr. Thompson is a great Dentist. She is very professional, shows compassion, and is very attentive. I have been a patient at this Dental office for several years. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The office has a very relaxed and calming ambience. Usually there is soft music playing in the background and the air has a wonderful scent. I would highly recommend this Dental Practice. You can expect great service from a caring staff.
