Maximizing Patient Wellness with
Airway-Focused Dentistry

Airway-focused dentistry represents a transformative clinical approach to patient wellness, moving beyond traditional dental care. This specialized field recognizes the critical connection between oral health and the airway, addressing sleep apnea and its impact on overall well-being.

At Atlanta Sleep and Wellness, Dr. Mindy Gil, a qualified dentist specializing in airway-focused dentistry, is dedicated to transforming lives through a comprehensive approach to oral and airway health. Unlike general dentistry, airway-focused dentistry addresses the root causes of breathing and sleep disorders, enhancing oral health and overall quality of life for patients in Newnan, GA.

What is Airway-Focused Dentistry?

Airway-focused dentistry is a specialized field that prioritizes proper breathing and airway function as integral components of dental care. It extends beyond traditional dental care by evaluating how the oral cavity, breathing patterns, and overall airway health impact sleep quality and systemic health. Dr. Mindy Gil’s expertise in this field allows her to identify and treat airway issues like sleep apnea, upper airway resistance syndrome, and mouth breathing, which can lead to functional issues and chronic health conditions.

A Comprehensive Approach to Airway Health

Unlike traditional dentistry, which primarily focuses on teeth and gums, airway-focused dentistry adopts a holistic approach to oral health. Our team utilizes various techniques to assess airway function and its impact on your health.

Detailed Assessments

Dr. Gil thoroughly evaluates your oral cavity, breathing patterns, and sleep quality. Advanced tools and techniques help identify airway issues, including obstructive sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome.

Customized Treatment Plans

We design personalized care plans based on your unique needs, including oral appliance therapy, orthodontic treatments, or early intervention for young children. These solutions aim to open the airway, improve nasal breathing, and address the underlying causes of sleep disorders.

Conditions Treated With Airway Dentistry

• Functional and Structural Issues: Conditions affecting the lower jaw, tongue position, and oral cavity shape that can restrict airflow.
• Pediatric Airway Concerns: Identifying early signs of airway issues in young children, such as mouth breathing, can prevent developmental problems and promote healthier sleep patterns.
