At Wichita Family Dentistry, Dr. Mark will determine if you are in need of a mouthguard, after completing an examination of your teeth and mouth. Dr. Mark will also work with you to specify which type and design of mouth guard you might need.

At Wichita Family Dentistry, we know that snoring can prevent you from getting a good night's sleep. Not only does it disturb your partner's sleep, but it causes you to have less REM sleep during the night. We know that a good night's sleep directly correlates with how you feel the next day. A good night's sleep is vital to having a good and productive day the next day.

If you suffer from snoring, or have a loved one complain about your snoring, talk with Dr. Mark about a snore appliance.

Dr. Mark will examine your teeth and mouth and help determine what snore appliance is best for you. Let us help you get a sound night's sleep, once and for all.

If you have certain problems such as tooth decay, cracks, broken teeth, discoloration, failing old fillings of other problems that can cause issues with your appearance or the function of your teeth and jaws, Wichita Family Dentistry can help.

After a thorough examination of your teeth and mouth, Dr. Mark will determine if you are a candidate of a dental crown or bridge.

Crowns are covers that fit over your teeth to restore and strengthen a single tooth. Crowns can be made of different materials, including acrylic, metal and porcelain. These white, sparkling, natural looking restorations are durable and last for many years

If you are missing teeth, dental bridges could be an excellent option for you. Bridges are fixed in placed and supported on either side by your adjacent teeth. Bridges look and feel like your natural teeth, they function like teeth, are extremely durable and not removable. This cosmetic treatment option not only will restore your smile, it can also improve speaking, chewing and other problems that develop because of missing teeth.

If you have missing teeth, a full or partial denture can help. Dr. Mark, at Wichita Family Dentistry, can help assess your mouth to see if you are candidate for full or partial dentures.

Complete dentures are used if you're missing teeth in your upper or lower jaws. Partial dentures are used on patients who just have some missing teeth on either jaw. A partial denture can be removable or permanent. A permanent partial attaches to a dental crown or a dental implant.

Partial dentures:

• Make it easier to speak and chew
• Maintain the shape of your face
• Decrease the risk of periodontal disease and resulting gum disease treatment
• Prevent teeth from shifting in your mouth
• Ease the stress of your jaw

If you have missing teeth, ask Dr. Mark or a team member at Wichita Family Dentistry if full or partial dentures are right for you.
