An absolutely fantastic dental office. Every single person with whom I interacted was an absolute delight: warm, kind, professional, and knowledgeable. The hygienist and dentist asked me tons of questions and listened patiently as I explained my needs and asked my own questions. We came up with a workable treatment plan, and the front office manager even discussed various payment options. I was overwhelming satisfied with my experience!
I had an amazing experience at Kirchner Dental. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I had been taking care of everyone else’s teeth and not my own. My mouth had gotten to the point where I had to do something about it. I could no longer hide my dental issues. I did not feel judged by the staff. They all assured me they would take care of me and they are doing just that. I appreciate them so much. I have recommended them to my friends and family. Thank you so much, Kirchner Dental, for the care you have provided to me this far in my reconstruction journey.
Great and friendly staff. Made me feel very welcomed and encouraged about coming to the dentist after years of not being seen. Extremely knowledgeable and broke the treatment down so that is more cost efficient for me. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!
I am a new patient here as my insurance has changed with my new job. They were very thorough and communicative with each other and myself. Being young and new to my own insurance, I am not completely confident in making appointments and using my insurance. However, at Kirchner Dental, they made sure I was comfortable and understood everything from procedures to payment. Really great staff!
As a new patient I was able to get an appointment easily and quickly. Everyone is really helpful and informative. Due to a long stretch of avoiding the dentist, I’ve had to get a lot of work done over the past few months and they have walked me through all the details every step of the way. Great office, staff and service! Highly recommend.
My first visit after some unhelpful dentistry, and I was impressed all around! The made me feel welcome, we laughed alot and a plan was made to put my teeth back in shape. I am relaxed and relieved. Thank all you ladies!!
I loved how thorough they were in my appointment compared to other dentists I’ve been to. I also felt comfortable the moment I walked in. Thank you!
The staff is Super friendly and non judgmental. I have a lot of badly broken teeth and they have been nothing but nice and professional. They explained my dental plan to me completely and answered all my questions. They work hard to help their patients and this is definitely going to be my forever dentist.
This was an amazing first experience at the dentist office. Everyone was so insightful, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I would say this is one of the best doctors office experiences I’ve had.
This is by far the best dentist experience I’ve had! They do not make you feel rushed at all. They thoroughly explain all of the treatment plan and offer the nitrous club which is a lifesaver if you have dental anxiety! Can’t recommend them enough!
This is a sleep disorder that affects tens of millions of Americans. People who have sleep apnea can stop breathing hundreds of times each night, and this condition can increase your risk of everything from high blood pressure to heart attacks and being in car accidents. The most common form of this disorder is obstructive sleep apnea, which our doctors can help you treat.
With this form of sleep apnea, your airway slowly becomes constricted as you fall asleep. To treat it, you need to find a way to keep breathing by keeping your airway open. A CPAP machine can help, but lots of people have problems using a CPAP consistently. We can design a custom-made oral appliance that shifts your jaw in a way that allows you to breathe freely throughout the night.
Loud snoring and breathing stoppages are the most well-known symptoms. You also should know that morning headaches and dry mouth may be the result of untreated sleep apnea. Many people with sleep apnea also suffer from fatigue and daytime sleepiness. Frequent mood changes, irritability, and trouble focusing can be signs of poor sleep as well.
Besides disrupting your sleep patterns and leaving you exhausted during the day, sleep apnea has been linked to several major health concerns. Sleep apnea contributes to heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetes, and depression. Getting help for sleep apnea now can improve your health and potentially help you live longer.
