Elevating your oral health through functional dentistry

Airway dentistry focuses on how breathing, sleep, and oral structures affect overall health.
The position of the jaw, tongue, palate, and teeth can influence the size and function of the airway.

At Prisma Dental, we evaluate signs such as mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding, fatigue, and poor sleep quality. These can sometimes be related to airway obstruction or dysfunctional breathing patterns.

Our goal is to help identify potential airway issues early and work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to support better breathing, sleep quality, and overall health.
