Dr. Rozensky is a native of Amherst New York, a suburb of Buffalo. He first attended the University at Buffalo, State University of New York and earned a Bachelor of Arts in History. After graduating he sought additional academic challenges at the State University College at Buffalo (Buff State) and earned a Bachelor of Science in Geoscience, cum laude.

After serving our country in the United States Air Force, Dr. Rozensky enjoyed private practice for almost two decades. As his practice grew, Sleep Medicine became a passion of Dr. Rozenskys. He has completed courses on Dental Sleep Medicine and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.

The customary first line of treatment for OSA is a PAP device. However, many patients are unable to tolerate the use of a PAP, and therefore are not achieving optimum treatment results. Those patients are candidates for Oral Appliance Therapy or OAT. The American Medical Association, The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine all recommend OAT to be prescribed by a Sleep Physician and fabricated by an ABDSM qualified dentist.

At Laurel Manor SleepCare, we not only have the qualifications, but we are also a Medicare approved provider as well. If you have Sleep Apnea and are unable to use a PAP device, consider improving your health and your quality of life. Your body and your mind will thank you.

At Laurel Manor Dental, we believe everyone should be able to enjoy their smile. Good dental health and bright, even teeth boost your self-esteem at any age, whereas an unhealthy or unattractive smile can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.

Your smile is the first thing others notice when they meet you for the first time. Studies have shown that if your teeth are white and healthy-looking, you are perceived as more competent, successful, and happy.

Professional teeth whitening is a safe, effective, noninvasive, and long-lasting cosmetic option. With laser teeth whitening, you can see results in one treatment here in our office. Another option is to whiten your teeth at home. Your custom home whitening kit includes specialized trays that will be customized to fit over your teeth. In addition, we provide professional-grade whitening gel to insert into your tray before wearing it. Your dentist will tell you how long to wear the tray each day, and you will have a bright white smile within two to four weeks!

I have extreme confidence in Dr. Rozensky. He encouraged me to get dental implants. I am so glad he did. I now feel better and have fewer digestion problems because I can properly chew my food. He always completely explains the process in a very caring and understandable fashion.

Sometimes your teeth need extra protection and support. An existing filling may be too large, pieces of the tooth may have broken off, or there may be too much decay for a regular filling to be supported. In all of these cases, inlays and onlays are recommended restorations.

Inlays and onlays restore the weakened or missing structure of a tooth. Inlays are applied between the cusps, whereas onlays extend over the cusps and cover more of the tooth surface. After your dentist bonds your inlay or onlay in place, they give it a final polish for a smooth finish and aesthetic appeal.

Dental veneers are a popular method of correcting tooth imperfections such as misalignment, gaps, stains, and minor chipping. Made of a strong porcelain material designed for long-term wear, they can also reshape teeth and create beautifully symmetrical smiles that look and feel natural. Properly cared for, porcelain veneers can last for decades.

At Laurel Manor Dental, your dentist positions a custom-milled porcelain crown over your treated tooth, restoring its aesthetic appeal and intended function. With good home care, a properly fitted crown can last many years. We show you how to keep it in great shape so that it enhances your smile for a long time to come.

When you are missing a tooth, you may be hesitant to smile, have problems chewing, or even develop mouth pain. As your surrounding teeth work to compensate for the tooth loss, gaps and spaces form that can exacerbate the situation.

Your dentist at Laurel Manor Dental can design a natural-looking porcelain bridge that keeps your teeth aligned and your bite functional. Bridges are cemented to existing teeth on either side of the space and can only be removed by a dentist, making them a secure, long-term cosmetic and restorative solution for missing teeth.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of this condition. It happens when the soft tissue in the back of your throat collapses, blocking air passage and starving your brain and heart of oxygen. The resulting increase in blood pressure and heart rate can result in an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression. OSA can seriously impact your life, so its best to seek treatment as soon as possible.

Great dental care. Made me feel comfortable and the crown process was excellent with latest technology and professional care. Felt great when I left and I dont like having any dental work so this was a big deal for me. Thank you!

While severe cases of sleep apnea may require a CPAP machine, many mild to moderate cases can be treated fairly easily with oral devices. Our practice uses FDA- and Medicare-approved oral appliances that are custom fit for effectiveness and comfort. They work by moving your jaw forward to clear your airway while you sleep so that oxygen deprivation doesnt wake you up.

Many patients who suffer from sleep apnea also present with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) or bruxism (teeth grinding) symptoms. Some patients actually see improvement in their TMD or bruxism symptoms, while others do not. We adjust the oral appliance to obtain an optimal position to manage your sleep apnea and any related symptoms, but separate treatments are also available for these conditions.

A: We do not start any treatment until we have completed an initial sleep study and your doctor has reviewed your results. You may be referred for a CPAP evaluation based on your discussions with your doctor, or you may be identified as a good candidate for oral appliance therapy.

A: Not all oral appliances are the same. The only type of mouth guard that should be worn to treat sleep apnea is one that is made and delivered by a dentist. So especially in cases of OSA, oral sleep appliances are best suited for the job.

Receiving quality dental care is an essential part of maintaining not only good oral health but also your overall health and well-being. The American Dental Association recommends regular preventive evaluations to check the health of your teeth and gums and prevent minor issues from becoming major problems later on. The best frequency for most patients is every six months.

Laurel Manor Dental is dedicated to providing excellent dentistry services, from sleep apnea treatment to dental implants and more, accessible to members of The Villages community and surrounding areas. We are committed to answering all your questions and providing the most advanced preventive and restorative dentistry available.

As soon as the decay has been removed, your tooth is restored with a filling material. Previously, amalgam (silver) fillings were placed in the cleaned-out portion of the tooth. Today those silver fillings can be replaced by tooth-colored fillings. Thanks to advancements in dentistry, these restorations are aesthetically pleasing and very strong.

Most adults will experience gum (periodontal) disease at some point in their lives. The most common symptoms are adult tooth loss, bleeding gums, bad breath, and receding gums. Fortunately, gum disease can be halted by pairing periodontal therapy with proper oral hygiene. When gum disease is diagnosed in its early stages, treatment is easier, less invasive, and more effective.

At Laurel Manor Dental, we thoroughly examine your gums and supporting structures and, through our in-house referral program, provide you with the periodontal therapy you need to regain your oral health. We refer you to our board-certified periodontist, saving you time and money while maintaining all the comforts of the dental home youve come to love at Laurel Manor Dental.

Tooth extractions are typically done if the tooth is beyond repair. We are committed to ensuring your overall comfort and provide a variety of options for you to choose from. In the event that a tooth must be extracted, our dental practice offers many replacement options. From dental bridges to implants, we work with you to find the solution that accommodates both your aesthetic preferences and restorative needs.

Dental care is not just about your mouth; it is about your overall health. As part of your normal dental evaluation, your dentist also screens you for oral cancer. As with other types of cancer, early detection is key.

Oral cancer screening is a quick, simple process that involves an evaluation of the entire oral cavity to check for precancerous and cancerous conditions. If you have questions about the process or its test results, be sure to raise them with your dentist.
