Plano CBCT Airway Sleep Diagnosis For Hypertension | Dentistry Service Updated

Millennium Smiles (972-987-4899), serving Plano, Texas, and surrounding areas, has updated its CBCT (Computed Tomography systems) diagnostic treatments for patients with hypertension.

Frisco,United States - January 12, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The clinic now offers its patients diagnoses and treatments for hypertension resulting from blocked airways – and the consequent obstructive sleep apnea that leads to disordered sleep patterns. Sleep apnea occurs when the throat and tongue muscles become more relaxed, blocking the nasal and throat airways. A person temporarily stops breathing when all airflow is cut off – before awakening and starting the cycle again.

A patient’s health may naturally suffer if they are unable to breathe regularly while they sleep – leading to conditions such as heart arrhythmias and hypertension (high blood pressure). Millennium Smiles, a 5-star, full-service dental and implant clinic based in Frisco, now provides oral appliance therapy for all patients suffering from OSA and hypertension. The CDC claims that almost half of the American adult population suffers from hypertension.

Cone-beam computed tomography systems (CBCT), used by dental professionals to detect problems such as periodontal infections, bone loss, and TMJ irregularities, can also be employed to identify and analyze airway blockages. The data will reveal, for example, significantly smaller average airway area, volume, and width in those patients with OSA.

While before-and-after treatment sleep studies continue to be the gold standard of care for diagnosing and determining the treatment efficacy of oral appliance therapy, CBCT scans for other common dental procedures at Millennium Smiles can frequently identify high-risk individuals for sleep apnea. This kind of finding may prompt both a referral for a full sleep study and in some cases treatments for TMJ disorders that may lie at the root of the problem.

For those who find using a CPAP machine uncomfortable, Millennium Smiles offers specially designed mouth appliances to treat sleep apnea. These devices support the patient’s jaw and keep the airway open for regular breathing by fitting over their teeth like an orthodontic retainer. Millennium Smiles will take a mold of the patient’s teeth in order to make the device more comfortable for the user – and resulting in better long-term results.

The clinic, run by Dr. Dunia Korous, also provides a full variety of orthodontic and dental services, such as Invisalign braces, periodontal therapy, teeth whitening, and dental implants.

One patient commented: “Amazing service. Haeliey was so kind and informative. She walked me through everything and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Park was fantastic too. The place is beautiful and has all the new technology. I finally found a place I truly like.”
