At Atlanta Sleep and Wellness in Newnan, GA, we specialize in airway dentistry, which focuses on diagnosing and treating airway issues that impact breathing, sleep, and overall well-being. Many common conditions—such as sleep apnea, mouth breathing, and TMJ disorders—can be linked to the structure of the mouth and airway function.
Led by Dr. Mindy Gil, DMD, DMSc, a highly trained dentist with expertise in airway health solutions, our dental practice provides comprehensive care to help patients breathe easier, sleep better, and experience an improved quality of life.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. If left untreated, it can contribute to a range of health issues, including fatigue, heart disease, and cognitive problems.
Our dental clinic offers treatment options tailored to each patient’s needs. Solutions may include oral appliances and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) alternatives depending on the diagnosis.
TMJ & Airway Connection
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a vital role in jaw function and can impact airway health. TMJ disorders can lead to jaw pain and clicking and even affect airway function, contributing to airway issues and sleep-disordered breathing. Our team understands the TMJ and airway connection. We provide comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatments to address TMJ disorders, aiming to alleviate pain and positively influence airway function for better overall health.
Airway-Focused Dentistry
Traditional dental care focuses primarily on teeth and gums, but airway dentists go beyond that to evaluate how airway function influences oral health and systemic wellness. A comprehensive evaluation of our practice includes a variety of tasks, including assessing airway problems related to jaw alignment and Identifying airway health risks that may contribute to chronic fatigue, headaches, or sleep disturbances.
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy is a specialized program designed to address habits that negatively impact the mouth’s structure and, consequently, the airway. These habits include mouth breathing and tongue thrusting. To address these issues, Dr. Gil may incorporate myofunctional therapy into your treatment plan.
Snoring Solutions
Frequent snoring may indicate an underlying airway problem that affects overall health. Our airway dentistry services address the root cause of snoring by assessing airway function and developing a treatment plan that improves sleep quality and oral health.
