Steve on wearing an oral sleep appliance | Lexington Kentucky Read Transcript

So I'm Steve I'm a patient here at the want Family Dentistry. I'm doing this testimonial can't kind of to help promote the fact that people with sleep apnea particularly obstructive sleep apnea have alternatives to the CPAP machine that most people are more familiar with. I myself do not tolerate the CPAP machine I have moderate to severe sleep apnea actually but with the machine that blows pressure into your lungs the positive pressure machine. I was very intolerant of it and I had it was very uncomfortable to wear, obviously it's obtrusive at 9:00 I bloated up my stomach which made things very uncomfortable.

There's a you know the aspect that you have to clean the device every day change the water if you're traveling it's very difficult to have to travel with so one of the other options is a mechanical advancement device or an oral appliance and it helps portray the jaw forward and opens up the airway and it's literally just like wearing a retainer at night. It's much more comfortable you can travel with it, you clean it just in the bathroom with your toothbrush for maybe very simple maintenance and it's not so intrusive on your life your quality of life.

Its better for me I don't have the abdominal distension I sleep well at night I'm waking up restful my cognition is better my breathing is better since I also have some breathing issues but it's been very effective and part of the reason I came here is because I am a veteran I receive a lot of my care through the VA and despite some of the reports that the care at the VA is really slacking I actually received excellent care from the dental department.

I'm very fortunate to be able to go there unfortunately just like with any other practice they weren't able to provide this device to me and I came to dr. takis and literally had this device within three weeks and it has changed my quality of life tremendously and the quality of professionalism that I receive here is phenomenal it is a family practice and they're very treated that there are family members that work here doctor taketh has family members Shana who first helped me has family members and it's it really is this family setting of individuals that if you were gonna have Thanksgiving dinner since that's coming up there the family members that you'd want to be sitting with so I highly recommend and I have recommended this practice to many of my friends already and I hope they take advantage of it I hope that people will look into some of the research that's out there that supports oral appliances and it'll make your quality of life a lot better and this is something that they can work with you on financing and they did with MIT myself with my insurance company and it's just a stellar practice so I would check it out

Both TMJ disorders and sleep apnea can be tricky to diagnose and treat. Many dentists do a cursory exam, give you a mouthguard, and that’s it. At the TMJ and Sleep Dentistry Center of Central Kentucky, you’ll get thorough and customized care. For example, your TMJ treatment may include some combination of cold laser, ultrasound therapy, massage, oral appliances, and application of microcurrent.

Call 859-251-5115 for new patients, or call 859-721-2072 for existing patients to start feeling better. We’re located at 2408 Sir Barton Way, Suite 275, in Lexington, directly across from Beaumont Family Dentistry’s Hamburg dental office.

Many dentists treat sleep apnea and TMJ disorders. However, few have the credentials of Dr. Trish Takacs. A Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, she did a mini-residency in sleep medicine at Tufts University, where she learned about the latest treatment techniques. Her thoughts about the importance of restful sleep appear in the Amazon best-selling book Principles for Success, Vol. 2. She’s also one of only about 300 dentists in the country who uses TruDenta® therapy to relieve TMJ disorders, migraines, and other headaches.

Whether she is treating you for TMJ pain or sleep apnea, Dr. Takacs will give you a thorough assessment using advanced technology like our T-Scan III computerized bite analysis. Then she can create a customized treatment plan that addresses all the issues that may be contributing to your discomfort.

Amber Hruska Read Transcript

I'd had an accident and had actually broken a tooth, basically, cracked it and I was in an incredible amount of pain. I had been putting off some dental work for a pretty long time. I thought I needed a root canal. It took an emergency to get me in. The first thing she did was get me out of pain immediately. And there's a lady who does hand massages. So I came in in tears just from pain and of course very frightened. I'm somebody who had had to take Valium to just get my teeth cleaned before. Within minutes, I'm having my hand massage. All these smiling people around me, pats on the shoulder, and just true compassion and again, she got me out of pain immediately. Ever since then I've had a couple of cavities filled, some old stuff replaced, had my veneers replaced.

We've spent a lot of time together in the last few years. If she even thinks that I'm starting to hurt, if I twitch or anything, she's like, "Please, please let me know. There's no reason for you to hurt." Now, I come bouncing in smiling. I got my teeth cleaned on Monday and I come in and I hug everybody and I'm just as relaxed. It was relaxing to get my teeth cleaned the other day because my phone's off for an hour. The chairs are really comfy. Everyone from beginning to end has been so nice and it's completely changed my dental health.

Karly on Her Cosmetic Dentistry and Veneers Read Transcript

Before I had any work done to my teeth, I hated my smile. No one really knew it, but I always was very self-conscious about it. I didn't like how I smiled. I just did not like it at all. I had couple gaps and then a smaller tooth here and there, and discolorations. So I just did not like it at all. I have been coming to Beaumont for, I wanna say, about six or seven years. And I have always wanted to have work done on my teeth eventually, when the time is right. And I had started asking. I had just got married, so I knew that those pictures are gonna be for the rest of your life. So I said, "You know, I need to take the plunge, and let's get it done, and do the work."

Ultimately the best route I believe we chose was to do the veneers on the front. The process for getting the veneers on was very seamless. It was quick. It was not painful at all. They made sure not to have you here for too long, but they did the work that needed to be done. After the temporaries were off, then we put the veneers on. I was anxious, excited. I saw my teeth for the first time, and I just couldn't believe that it was ... It was still me, but they looked fantastic. It simply changed how I see myself in the mirror, and I feel more confident. And I've come in here a couple times since and I've said, "I can't stop smiling."

Catch myself. I'm like, "You're smiling too much."

Because I am kind of a dental phobia person that my expectations have been exceeded. She is extremely patient and accommodating to your personal needs. I have been very satisfied with my experience with Beaumont Family Dentistry here. It was like I was having coffee with her. She came in, introduced herself. We talked for a while, went through just some social things. So, she's very personable, very friendly, very open, not pushy, real down to earth. We went through a whole entire plan of care. Got home... And I agreed to it, and I got home and started thinking about it and got cold feet.

So, I called back in. And actually, one afternoon, she finally said, "If you want to come in, let's sit down and talk." And she was preparing to leave on a trip and going to the airport, and I came in right before she left to the airport. You would've never known she had a plane to catch. We sat down in the office, we went through everything. She said, "If that's what you want to do, that's what we'll do," and so that's what we did. And so, it's very comforting, I guess is a good word. Knowledge is important in making sure you go to the right place, and I felt real comfortable coming here.
