Having trouble with snoring and disturbed sleep? You might be experiencing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a serious, but common condition that can affect breathing while you sleep. Smile and Glow Dental Clinic in Mogappair, Jawahar Nagar, Chennai can offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for patients who are suffering from sleep-related breathing disorders. What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea? OSA is a condition where the airway becomes obstructed while you are sleeping, reducing or fully interrupting airflow. Airway obstruction is typically caused by relaxed muscles at the back of the throat, a large tongue, or a lower jaw positioned backward. Airway obstruction can cause loud snoring, decreased oxygen delivery to the brain, and frequent interruptions of sleep. A significant symptom of OSA is chronic snoring. If left untreated, chronic snoring can lead to complications for the heart and brain, overall health and well-being. Common Causes of OSA: • Weight or obesity • Large neck circumference • Enlarged tonsils or long soft palate • Small or recessed lower jaw • Nasal blockage (deviated septum, allergies, etc.) • Poor tongue posture during sleep • Sleep bruxism and clenching Signs to Look for: • Loud snoring that happens every night • Headaches upon waking • Always tired or sleepy during the day • Dry mouth or sore throat from sleeping • Limited focus and poor memory • Grinding or clenching teeth (bruxism) • Neck and shoulder discomfort • Swelling in the legs (in more advanced cases of OSA) At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic - Mogappair and Jawahar Nagar - we see many patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) struggling with TMJ pain, snoring or tiredness even after sleeping for an entire night. A true sign of sleep-disordered breathing! Diagnosis at Smile and Glow in Mogappair and Jawahar Nagar: Our protocol for diagnosis is here is comprehensive that includes: • Case history + STOP-BANG • Intraoral and extraoral clinical examination • CBCT 3D volumetric scan for airway analysis • Sleep study - Home Sleep Test / Polysomnography • Radiology - OPG, TMJ views, Lateral Cephalogram, MRI • T-Scan for bite force distribution • Jaw tracking & MAT scan • TENS (Ultra-low frequency neural stimulation) for jaw muscle relaxation Why treating OSA is important: Leaving sleep apnoea untreated puts you at risk for some serious health problems which include: • High blood pressure • Heart disease • Diabetes • Stroke • Chronic fatigue • Increased likelihood of accidents due to sleepy. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Treatment Options in Chennai: Depending on the severity of your condition, our clinical team provides: Conservative Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) In the case of obstructive sleep apnea, simple lifestyle changes and non-invasive measures can significantly minimize obstructive sleep apnea severity. At Smile and Glow Dental Center - Jawahar Nagar, Mogappair, we recommend a number of conservative strategies: • Healthy weight – Losing excess body weight will reduce the fat deposits around the upper airway and allow for better airflow. • Avoidance of alcohol – Alcohol relaxes the muscles in the throat, which will worsen breathing interruptions while you sleep. • Limiting sedatives – Sedatives can minimize the body’s normal reflexes which can keep the airway open; therefore, increasing the chance of apnea episodes. • Change sleep position – Sleeping on your side with the support of a wedge pillow will keep the airway from collapsing, whereas sleeping on your back will worsen symptoms by allowing the airspace to collapse. • Nasal congestion treatment – Treatment for sinus or nasal blockage through nasal sprays before bedtime can improve breathing while sleeping at night. Oral Appliance Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea - Jawahar Nagar & Mogappair At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Jawahar Nagar and Mogappair, our clinic aims to be the cornerstone of Sleep Apnea Treatments. Oral appliances are effective for treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and for patients with severe OSA who cannot tolerate nasal CPAP. Custom made dental appliances will reposition the lower jaw forward providing more airway space and ensuring thicker pressing down of the tongue. Just as easily as one would wear a mouthguard, our oral appliances help keep your airway open during the night for a very easy approach to your sleep apnea plan. Orthodontic Expansion for OSA Braces to expand reduced upper and lower jaw, in particular with airway restriction in young adults. ✅ CPAP & EPAP Therapy Other positive airway pressure devices that maintain airborne pressure to ensure airflow throughout the night. Our team ensures these home based devices are calibrated precisely so patients can sleep with comfort and compliance. ✅ Surgical options: • Tonsillectomy or reshaping of the uvula • Jaw advancement surgeries • Nasal surgery to correct deviated septum At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair and Jawahar Nagar, Chennai, our cross functional approach includes a neuromuscular orthodontist (not a typical orthodontist), ENT, physiotherapist, breathing coach, psychologist as well as a pulmonologist… We can take a comprehensive and root-cause approach to sleep apnea!

Experience Lasting Relief with Neuromuscular Dentistry Neuromuscular dentistry provides a holistic, comprehensive treatment for facial pain issues, TMJ disorders, and body postural issues. While conventional dentists will only look at your teeth and gums, neuromuscular dentists identify and restore all of the pieces that make up one system—the jaw joints (TMJ), muscles, teeth, and nerves work to get function back to the entire craniofacial system supporting natural chewing, breathing, and swallowing. How Does Neuromuscular Imbalance Impact the Body? A misaligned jaw, misaligned bite (malocclusion), and chronic stress can pull your jaw out of alignment. When this happens the entire skull will sit unevenly on the cervical spine. This will put strain on surrounding muscles, leading to muscle spasms and radiated pain through the neck, shoulders, back, hips and legs. Neuromuscular dental therapies are utilized to reposition the jaws to a more optimal position and correct the bite. This can help alleviate muscle effort and strain leading to better body posture. The Consequences of Chewing with the Same Side Favoring one side while chewing may lead to an asymmetrical bite and an oblique occlusal plane. While chewing, this produces pressure in the chewing muscles on that side while putting strain on larger postural muscles such as the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscle that link the jaw to the neck and vertebral spine. This can easily lead to poor postural habits, back pain, sciatica, and leg fatigue when viewed as patterns and causes over time. Common Signs and Symptoms of Neuromuscular Disorders Watch for the following symptoms: • Jaw pain or TMJ pain • Clicking or popping when you use your jaw • Inability to open mouth fully • Headaches or migraines • Ringing in the ears or tinnitus • Inability to hold your head or shoulders up • Numbness or tingling in your fingers • Back pain (in particular L4, L5) • Sciatica or leg pain • Generalized muscle stiffness Smile and Glow Diagnostic Process for Facial Pain Using a multi-specialty approach the Smile and Glow Team invokes a systematic diagnostic process to determine the limitations associated with TMJ or other neuromuscular disorders: • Thorough history, posture, and sleeping position assessment. • Full mouth and extra-oral clinical examination. • Imagery: OPG, Lateral Ceph, CBCT, TMJ open/close views, airway scans, MRI, whole-body scans. • Sleep analysis either through home sleep test or polysomnogram. • XSens (external ground surface maxillary skull trackers), ULF-TENS, jaw tracking, MAT Scan and T-Scan, our digital device for measuring bite force. Why We Use T-Scan T-Scan provides a digital map of your bite to evaluate occlusal imbalances that may be causing you pain or long-term dysfunction. The Role of TENS Therapy in Neuromuscular Dentistry Ultra Low-Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (ULF-TENS) helps relax overworked jaw muscles and facilitates healing. TENS has been shown to: • Release muscle tightness. • Block pain signals from reaching the brain. • Increase endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relievers. • Increase blood flow to accelerate recovery. Once the muscle is relaxed we can take an accurate record of your true jaw position and build you a customized treatment plan. Neuromuscular Dentistry is effective for: • Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) • Cranio-Cervical-Mandibular Disorders (CCMD) Holistic Treatment Options at Smile and Glow After evaluation and diagnosis our neuromuscular orthodontist might recommend: • mandibular orthopedic repositioning appliance (MORA) • orthotic splints, TENS therapy, or myomonitor therapy (J5 Myomonitor) • Restorative or orthodontic correction for stable occlusion. And we will work with other specialists such as ENT, pulmonologists, physiotherapists, and psychologists, if necessary. Start Accessing Treatment Early Around age 7 would be optimal, but anyone who has had chronic signs and symptoms (jaw pain, facial tension, neck stiffness, or shoulder or back stiffness) should be evaluated at the first sign of any problems to avoid worsening of symptoms.

Restore Your Smile at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic Do you ever feel self-conscious about your front teeth because they are chipped, discoloured, or uneven? Perhaps you want to transform your smile for your wedding day? Dental veneers provide a long-lasting natural-looking solution for your smile. It does not matter if you have yellow stains, small cracks, uneven shape, or a combination of all three, dental veneers can completely restore the look of your teeth, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful smile once again. What Are Dental Veneers? Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells (laminates) that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are primarily designed for cosmetic corrections- covering teeth that are discoloured, chipped, worn, misaligned, or irregularly shaped.. Veneers can also be used to close small spaces between teeth, especially if traditional orthodontic treatment is not desired. Types of Veneers There are two types of veneers that are commonly used: • Porcelain Veneers (or porcelain laminates): porcelain veneers are well-known for their strength, durability, and natural look. • Composite Veneers: are a more cost-effective option made from tooth-coloured composite resin. Composite veneers take longer to place in-office than porcelain, but they give an acceptable result and may be stained over minor cracks over time. Veneers can be custom-made just for your smile or prefabricated (ready-made). If you choose custom veneers, the dentist will take several measurements to determine the dimensions of your teeth and then fabricate your veneers based on the aesthetics you want with your final smile. Custom dental veneers will usually give you the best results. Advantages of Dental Veneers • Whiten persistently stained or yellow teeth • Repair chips, cracks or worn teeth • Close small gaps between front teeth • Change the shape and size of teeth • correct minor misalignment for a fast result • Change the appearance of a gummy smile • Improve the overall look of your face and smiling confidence • Quick and durable cosmetic solution The veneer process is done at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic. The veneer process begins with a consultation appointment with an aesthetic dentist. They will discuss your smile goals, include photography, and take dental impressions, and finally they will create a preview with a wax mock-up of your teeth and goals. You will have an clear understanding of your new smile even before you start the treatment. In the procedure, a small piece of enamel will be taken away from the surface of the tooth (usually 0.3 to 1 mm) to make space for the veneer. The veneer will then be adhered to the tooth structure using dental cement. Caring for Your Veneers To help care for your veneers and keep your smile looking great at all times please follow: • Brush your teeth at least two times a day using a soft bristle toothbrush • Floss as advised to ensure you do not cause a plaque buildup • Avoid smoking and cut back on drinking foods or drinks that would stain your veneers • Go for your regular dental cleaning and checkups • Use a non-abrasive toothpaste (this will help prevent scratches to the surface of the veneer) Porcelain veneers are highly stain resistant. Composite veneers may discolor over time. This means that proper oral hygiene on a daily basis will contribute to great results in the long run. Hollywood Smile with Veneers Veneer technology is a favorite of Celebrities and commonly referred to as the “Hollywood Smile.” Other popular veneer options for an attractive smile include Lumineers, Componeers, Snap-On Smiles, and Instasmile. Each of these options has different uses to help advance your overall appearance. The dentists at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic will help you decide which option best suits your smile, lifestyle and budget. ____________________________________________________ Are you ready to take advantage of a smile you have always dreamed of having?

Immediate loaded implants (same day implants) are when an implant is placed directly into the socket immediately after extraction or into a space with an existing gap. The technique is best indicated to replace teeth in an aesthetic zone such as front teeth; where function and aesthetics are critical. Benefits of immediate implants include: • Help maintain the natural bone and gum tissue • Provide excellent long-term aesthetics • Greatly reduce the overall treatment time • Temporary teeth can be made the same day • Final crown can be delivered in 3-4 days Immediate Implant Procedure 1. Comprehensive consultation will be performed (history, clinical exam, impressions, x-rays, CBCT) to plan accurately. 2. The procedure will be under local anesthesia. 3. The diseased or fractured tooth will be extracted with care to preserve bone around the extraction site. 4. The extraction socket will be cleansed and disinfected of any potential infection. 5. The dental implant will then be precisely placed in the tooth socket. 6. A temporary crown will be placed the same day, or within 24–48 hours. 7. The final crown can be placed in 3 to 4 days however, it can be up to 3 months to allow healing of the bone prior to crown placement. 8. Since the implant was restored with a crown immediately after placement, it is referred to as an “immediate loaded implant”. Post-Care Instructions • Clean your teeth with a toothbrush and floss as you would do to your natural teeth. • You are encouraged to stop by for checkups every 6 months with your dentists for regular dental appointments to preserve your implant.

Dental Implants Single Tooth | Multiple Teeth | Full-Mouth Solutions When it comes to replacing missing teeth, Dental Implants are the most advanced and predictable approach. Made out of biocompatible titanium, dental implants are screw-like structures, inserted surgically in the jawbone, that replicate the root of a tooth. After a few months, the implant fuses with the bone, a process called osseointegration, which provides a solid foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures. Dental implants can replace single or multiple teeth, or can be utilized for full-mouth rehabilitation with an outcome that is functional and aesthetically natural-looking. At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, we are able to restore your smile with dental implants whether you need one, or you need multiple implants by utilizing established trusted systems that provide precise and successful long-term outcomes. Why Are Dental Implants the Go-to Option? Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry and offer several great benefits: • ✅ Most Like Your Natural Teeth: Dental implants look, function, and feel just like your natural teeth. • ✅ Stops Bone Loss: Bone loss occurs after missing a tooth. Implants stop bone loss by replacing the tooth root and maintaining jaw strength. • ✅ Longevity and Durability: When dental implants are placed correctly and properly maintained, they can last a lifetime (much longer than bridges and dentures). • ✅ Enhances Aesthetics of the Face: When implants restore the entire tooth including the root, they aid in supporting the shape of your face and preventing the sunken appearance often caused by tooth loss. • ✅ Fixed and Stable: Once dental implants are placed, they stay in place. Dentures are removable and can slip or click when eating or speaking. • ✅ Comfortable and Functional: Restoring your mouth to full functionality allows you to enjoy your favorite foods in comfort, and speak clearly and confidently. • ✅ Easy Maintenance: Just like natural teeth, you will brush, floss, and have dental checkups. • ✅ Increase your self esteem: When you have a smile you are proud of, you will look better, feel better and lead a better quality of life. ________________________________________ Implant vs Bridge - What is Best? While dental Bridges require you to shave down the adjacent teeth to provide support for the dental restoration, you do not disturb your healthy natural teeth with a dental implant. Implants are placed into the jawbone independently to the surrounding teeth, providing a stronger, more conservative, longer lasting restoration. Who is a Good Candidate for Implants? You’re a candidate for dental implants if: • You are missing one or more teeth. • Your jawbone has the required amount of density and height. • You do not have uncontrolled systemic disease. • You maintain good oral hygiene. Contra-Indications To Dental Implants You could be contra-indicated for the use of dental implants if: • ❌ You have uncontrolled diabetes, as it could affect healing and implants. • ❌ You are a heavy smoker. If you are a smoker your healing is delayed and could affect the long-term success of the implant. • ❌ You have osteoporosis, as your bone density may not be adequate enough to support the implant. • ❌ You have had radiation; for instance if you had head and neck radiation. • ❌ You have severe bruxism (teeth grinding), as you will introduce additional stress. • ❌ You have poor oral hygiene and untreated periodontal disease. • ❌ You have an autoimmune condition or are immuno-compromised, they could affect your healing response. • ❌ You have insufficient bone or quality of bone. They may require grafting to obtain the proper amount of bone volume width or height. Implant Brands We Love at Smile and Glow At Smile and Glow we strive to use the best internationally recognized dental implant systems to maximize the quality of your implant: • Nobel Biocare (Sweden) • Straumann (USA) • DIO digital implants (UK). The aforementioned implant systems offer optimum precision, safety, and reliability through long-term backed world-wide (and clinical) evidence. Smile and Glow Implant Techniques We offer a variety of implant options for the wide range of clinical indications: • Immediate Loaded Implants / Same-Day Implants • All-on-4 Full Hybrid Denture • All-on-6 / All-on-8 Full-Mouth Fixed Ceramic Teeth • Implant-Supported Removable Dentures • Keyhole / 3D Guided Implants – less invasive – quicker healing ________________________________________ What is the Procedure for Dental Implants? Installing dental implants is a standardized process designed to ensure the longevity and success of your implants: • After dental and medical evaluations, and initial impressions and digital x-rays, the surgeon will conduct more in-depth imaging using a CBCT to establish a precise plan for placing your implant. • The actual surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia or with the option of conscious sedation or general anesthesia for those who prefer to be more comfortably sedated. ________________________________________ Two-Stage Implants • The surgery is performed to surgically insert a titanium dental implant post (either an endosteal cylindrical or tapered implant) into the jaw. • After insertion, the implant will fuse to the bone in a process called osseointegration, which will create a stable base for your new tooth. • While the implant is integrating, which can take weeks to months, you will have a temporary prosthesis placed, if required. • After the healing phase is complete (typically 3-6 months duration), the implant site will be uncovered, the implant components will be attached including a small abutment, or connector, which will eventually hold the final custom crown. Single-Stage Implants • With a single-stage implant, the implant and abutment are placed in one appointment. • A temporary crown will be placed and the patient will be asked to avoid any hard/chewy foods during healing which will take about 3–6 months. • Onces the implant is fully integrated with the bone, the temporary crown will be replaced with a permanent crown. Post-Implant Care: Ensuring Longevity Maintaining implants is easy: • Brush and floss daily as if they are regular teeth • See your dentist for cleanings and evaluations every 6 months • Avoid smoking and don't exert excessive force on your implants With good care, dental implants can last a lifetime and provide you with a strong, confident, and fully functional smile. 💬Are you looking for safe, lasting dental implants in Mogappair ,its surrounding or Perambur, Kolathur?

Advanced lower jaw corrective surgery for improved facial balance, symmetry, and bite alignment Mandibular surgery or lower jaw surgery, is performed to correct an abnormal position of the jaw, and treat: facial asymmetries, bite correction, etc. If your lower jaw extends too far forward it is known as mandibular prognathism. If your lower jaw is set back too far, it is called mandibular retrognathism. In either case, through mandibular surgery, the lower jaw can be realigned, the bite restored to a healthy camber and maximum facial balance achieved. Any of the following conditions can be corrected through mandibular jaw surgery: • Class III malocclusion - protruding lower jaw • Class II malocclusion - receding lower jaw • Vertical discrepancies to the jaws - downward rotation or upward rotation of the lower jaw. Types of Lower Jaw Surgery in Chennai: • Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) - to reposition the lower jaw forward or back • Anterior Segmental Osteotomy - to reshape the anterior section of the lower jaw for improved structure. • Genioplasty (Chin Surgery) - to align your chin and improve the facial profile.. Mandibular orthognathic surgery is often performed in conjunction with maxillary surgery or as a component of orthodontic treatment to achieve complete or overall jaw alignment or specific bite correction. At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic in Mogappair and Perambur, we use advanced digital jaw surgery planning, 3D imaging, and microscopic precision to ensure accurate, safe, and predictable outcomes for mandibular correction surgery. 📍 Visit us for expert lower jaw surgery in Chennai 📞 Schedule your consultation with our oral and maxillofacial surgeon today.

Straighten Your Smile Using Traditional Orthodontic Treatment Metal braces are a very effective, affordable option for aligning, crowding, or spacing your teeth, and they are available at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair. Metal braces continue to be one of the most common orthodontic treatments for teenagers and adults who want predictable results and very precise movements of their teeth. How Do Metal Braces Work? In metal braces, premium stainless steel brackets made with a dental-grade adhesive are bonded to the center of each tooth; these brackets usually contain 304-grade stainless steel. Important components of metal braces include: - Archwire : Temperature sensitive wires that follow the shape of the mouth and adjust to body heat, which in turn guides the teeth into place. - **Metal ties -** Or elastic ties to hold the archwire in place within the brackets. - **Appointments with the orthodontist -** To “adjust” their braces to establish progression and to ensure teeth are moving as planned. When these components work together, they will slowly create a healthier, straighter position of the teeth. Are braces visible? While traditional metal braces are noticeable, bear in mind they are smaller than braces traditionally are, more comfortable than they have ever been, and more effective than ever. You can also choose tooth-colored ceramic brackets, which are harder to distinguish from your natural teeth if you'd prefer a more subtle appearance. Why opt for metal braces? ✅ Time-tested results for mild, moderate, or complex misalignments, longitudinals, and things you may not be aware of yet! ✅ Cost effective compared to clear aligners. ✅ Durable and robust enough to suit the needs of active lifestyles. ✅ Suitable for children, teens, and adults. ✅ Can be easily combined with alternative orthodontic appliances, as clinically required.

When conventional or repeat root canal therapy does not completely heal an infection, periapical surgery, also called apicoectomy, may be the last chance for a tooth to be saved. At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair, our endodontists perform microscope-assisted periapical surgeries to aid with persistent infections and restore health to your tooth and surrounding bone. What is Periapical Surgery? Periapical means around the root apex of a tooth. Periapical surgery is recommended when a deep infection or lesion such as cyst or granuloma is present in the periapical area and is persistent, even after root canal treatment (RCT) has been completed. This small surgical intervention eliminates the source of the infection and allows surrounding bone and tissue to regenerate. When is Periapical Surgery Necessary? A periapical surgery procedure may be recommended in cases of: • Persistent pain, swelling or draining sinus despite RCT or re-RCT • Large periapical cysts or granulomas • Acute perforation in canal(s) or overfilled root canal materials • Severely curved or calcified root canal anatomy not allowing a complete cleaning • Instrument fractures within canal not allowing for effective cleaning • Trauma to tooth or root fractures noted at apex What Is The Procedure? Surgery done under local anesthesia can normally be completed in one appointment. 1. Flap Elevation: A small flap of gum will be elevated to gain access to the infected bone. 2. Bone Access: A small window will be precisely created in the bone to access the periapical lesion. 3. Lesion Removal: The infected tissue will be removed. 4. Root-End Resection: The tip of the root will be trimmed. 5. Root-End Sealing: A bio-regenerative material like MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) is used to seal the root end. 6. Closure: The flap will be sutured back into place for healing. Why Microscope Assisted Periapical Surgery? At Smile and Glow we utilize a dental surgical microscope for all periapical procedures, and here are some of the benefits: • Better magnification and illumination • Accurate identification of cracks or hidden canals • Minimal removal of bone (osteotomy) • Better incisions and suturing • Faster healing and less trauma Microscope-aided surgery significantly enhances the outcome by allowing for accurate detection, cleaner access, and longer-lasting sealing which ultimately reduces the risk of reinfection. Why it is important to NOT delay treatment If a periapical infection goes untreated, it will be allowed to spread and damage nearby bone, and adjacent teeth. Periapical surgery aims to save the affected tooth, restore comfort, and help avoid extraction. Are you looking for expert periapical surgery in Mogappair? Let the experienced hands at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, and our advanced technology, take care of your dental procedure. Schedule your consultation with our microscope endodontics team now, and take the first step towards saving your natural tooth.
