Orchard Scotts Dental works together with medical doctors to provide a dental dimension to the management of sleep apnea.
Dental treatment offers a new dimension to the management of sleep apnea, especially for patients who are averse to medical or surgical management techniques.
Known as the silent killer, sleep apnea is a condition where individuals experience interrupted breathing in their sleep. Sufferers are known to have interrupted sleep, feel more irritable, feel tired in the day, and also to have a shorter overall lifespan. Orchard Scotts Dental works together with medical doctors to manage or treat patients with sleep apnea. Dental management for sleep apnea includes devices such as Day and Night Appliances (DNAs), that may also work in tandem with medical devices like the CPAP. Sleep apnea can also be managed orthodontically and/or prosthetically.
It’s time to consider dental implants if you are suffering from the following conditions:
If you have a missing or failing tooth, a single dental tooth implant replacement has great benefits over the alternative options of a bridge or denture.
If you are missing more than one tooth in a row, the gap can be replaced with individual implants or by joining a few implants together to hold a bridge.

Straumann has been producing durable dental implants for over three decades in more than seventy countries. Over 14 million people the world over have had their smiles completed with Straumann implants.

Every smile is unique. So is every budget.
We begin the dental implants treatment process with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and jaw bone. During this comprehensive visit, we can determine which preliminary procedures are needed before dental implants can be safely and successfully placed. Dental implant cost is finalized based on what we find in these evaluations.
