I want to welcome you to a different kind of dental practice. I want you to look and feel younger next year. I am a lifelong learner, a perpetual student, who is constantly seeking ways to live + age well. I want to provide you with the knowledge to follow this path as well. There are many different modalities to engage to maximize ones health. I read Younger Next Year for Women by Chris Crowley + Henry S. Lodge in 2019, + it jump-started me on a path to improved health. It is important to me to address your total health, and in 2018 I trained to provide care for snoring and sleep apnea through ACSDD. One of the most crucial practices is centered around functional breathing. I am focused on sharing this practice with you, + if enlisted, it can greatly improve your daily function + sleep.
It is paramount to me that I embrace technology + devices that will improve how I deliver dental care. Not only that, but I am interested in improving your overall health and function as well. I am committed to continuing to learn and embrace how to deliver the best to you. I have practiced dentistry for almost 30 years and have impacted + changed many peoples smiles, allowing them improved function + a return to the smile of their youth. I am committed to helping establish + maintain your dental health.
With my understanding of how proper sleep + breathing affect your health, I can purposefully deliver information that you may have never heard before. We can control how we age + how we feel to a certain degree. I am able to incorporate the use of laser therapy to impact your airway + the appearance of your skin, neck + lips. This is a revolutionary approach to how I serve you as a dentist.
Fotonas NightLasetherapy is a non-invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patients sleep. NightLase reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue.
Fotonas patented Er:YAG laser modality optimizes the length of laser pulses, allowing for the safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue. It is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth, but strong enough to provide clinically efficacious heating.
NightLase has a high success rate in producing a positive change in sleep patterns. Research has shown that NightLase reduces and attenuates snoring and provides an effective, non-invasive way to lessen the effects of sleep apnea.
A full course of NightLase is usually three separate treatment sessions over a nine week period. some patients require more treatments depending on their age and how their tissue responds to the treatment. The final results of the treatment have been shown to last up to six months at which time maintenance treatment is needed.
Patients find NightLase to be a highly comfortable and satisfying solution. NightLase requires no device to be worn during sleep and involves no chemical treatment. Its a gentle and easy way to regain a good night's rest.
All LightWalker is equipped with a high performance Er:YAG laser that maximizes ablation efficiency with proprietary VSP (Variable Square Pulse) technology, which can be accurately tuned to varying cold ablation and non-ablative thermal ratios. Full customizability allows you to precisely attain the clinical outcomes your patients desire.
The Nd: YAG lasers ablative action with the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin to create thermal effects without damaging the skin surface. Compared to conventional Nd:YAG technologies, Fotonas proprietaryVSPpulses create virtually instantaneous temperature increases that are limited to the targeted structures only. No unnecessary energy is deposited into the skin.
