Family and Preventive Dentistry


Every service we offer, from orthodontics to dental sleep medicine, is designed to address issues at the earliest stage possible to prevent further damage and complications. However, there are some services that are offered primarily for the purposes of controlling the two main destructive forces of the mouth (clenching and grinding, and bacterial plaque). Those services include, but are not limited to:

Dr. Rich and her hygienist, Soheila Sabahi, have created an extremely successful periodontal treatment program that allows patients with all stages of gum disease to have their dental and advanced periodontal health care needs met in the same office. Both practitioners are firmly committed to helping our patients halt the progress of existing gum disease and returning their mouths to a healthy state of preventive maintenance.

Orthodontics


Dr. Rich offers a full range of orthodontic solutions for children, teens, and adults. The type and extent of treatment is different for each individual.

Snoring and Sleep Apnea


The field of dental sleep medicine has grown significantly in the last 20 years, and Dr. Rich has been partnering with sleep specialists, primary care physicians, physical therapists, pediatric and adult ENT's, and other health-care practitioners in treating patients with snoring and sleep apnea since the mid-1990’s. Using custom- fabricated oral appliances, Dr. Rich aids in treating physically restricted airways by gently repositioning the lower jaw into a more forward position during sleep, which in turn holds the airway open for less obstructed breathing.

•  Airway and oxygenation evaluation
•  Take-home sleep screenings
•  Custom-fabricated oral appliances to aid in the treatment of snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea

TMJ Dysfunction


With over 35 years of experience in treating, teaching, and studying the complexities of three-dimensional joint function, Dr. Rich believes strongly in a philosophy of conservative and non-surgical treatment when it comes to the disorders of the jaw. Unraveling the factors contributing to TMJ dysfunction can be a complex and very individual process. In many cases, Dr. Rich will partner with physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic and naturopathic physicians, acupuncturists, and other health care practitioners to ensure that each client has a solid self-care and rehabilitation routine to work with both during and after treatment.

TMJ-related treatments available within our practice include, but are not limited to:
•  Splint and orthotic therapy
•  TENS therapy
•  Laser therapy
•  Infrared therapy
