Still tired after a full night of sleep?

It might not be your schedule. It could be your airway.
Chronic fatigue, brain fog, and morning headaches are often linked to how well you breathe at night, and most people don’t realize their dentist can help identify the issue.
At our office, Dr. Horkan screens every patient’s airways as part of a comprehensive dental wellness exam.
We just published a new blog post explaining what that assessment looks like, the signs of disordered breathing and how a dental airway assessment can put you on the path to improved focus, energy, and productivity

Just a reminder of the healing powers dental lasers have. This little guy split open their lip over three weeks ago. Dry desert air wouldn't let his own body heal in a normal fashion. So mom reached out, and we took a laser to the site 🪄

Only TWO days later it's already looking so much better 🫶🏻

Remember you don't have to wait and suffer. Laser therapy is non invasive and jumpstarts the healing process allowing for more comfort and better results without the pain.

Why is Saliva testing so important? The bacteria in your mouth are in the millions 🦠 It's impossible to know exactly which bacteria profile and what percentage makeup each person has. It varies significantly from one person to the next and the type and quantity of each bacteria determine how much of an influence they have on causing problems all throughout the body.

When it comes to your health, we're not going to take guesses or chances. With salary diagnostics, we don't have to. A simple swish and spit test will give us so much information on how we can better treat the oral microbiome and shift the conversation from reaction to prevention.

From gum disease, compromised immune systems, and airway dysfunction to decay and root canal failures, GI and reproductive issues, cancers and implant failures, the list of systemic issues stemming from oral dysbiosis is long. But answers and treatment don't have to be.

From Dull to Vibrant ✨ No filters, just same day professional whitening results, and we are in L.O.V.E.

Our patient had been wanting to give their smile a winter boost. Cue the comfort menu!

A cozy blanket, a relaxing podcast and our team working their magic that LASTS.

We get lots of questions about whitening in our practice. From safety and sensitivity to color stability and results that last beyond the first 48 house of your teeth rehydrating 💦

The truth is that over the counter products and professional products all work to some degree. The difference is that most products simply don't last or take so much more product to get the desired results (if they even can). This means more time, more money and inconsistent results.

Whitening toothpastes while removing external stains, do so because they are HIGHLY abrasive. They scratch your enamel leaving crevices where bacteria and even more stains can hide. 🚫

In addition to lower concentration levels, over the counter whitening products have to survive storage and shipping times plus be shelf stable. This means the products contain chemical stabilizers to attempt to prevent active ingredients from breaking down because they are premixed. The result: less potency to achieve the brighter smile you want. So you keep using more and more or have to do more maintenance touch ups down the roads. It's a marketing gimmick 💸

Dental professional products then have a higher concentration and better ability to whiten but the key is chemical composition for results that work and last. This is why our offices take careful consideration for professional product selection. Regardless of how white or bright you want your smile, whether you have sensitive teeth or not, our office will be sure to provide you with a result that makes the difference. 🤍

Upgrades coming in 🔥 for 2026

Years of wear due to a bite disease and erosion put this patient at risk for continued break down.

What started as an orthodontic journey to correct a pathologic bite, ended with round of smile trials to ensure proper shape and function and sealed with a combination of implants, crowns, veneers and a night guard for the perfect upgrade.

Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous 2026, and a little Auld Lang Syne ☺️
