holistic dentistry
Oral health problems affect much more than your teeth and gums – every part of the human body can be influenced by them too. Dr. Kiani takes a whole-body approach to her treatment plans, ensuring not only a stronger smile, but an improved quality of life as well through the use of safe materials, conservative technology, and more.
Holistic, whole-body dentistry is based around a simple principle – that what affects your oral health also affects your overall wellbeing. At Purple Plum Dentistry, Dr. Kiani embodies this care approach every day, helping patients discover minimally invasive and comprehensively beneficial solutions to their dental woes. Our team strives to work towards a healthier, happier you.
sleep apnea therapy
Many people don’t realize that their dentist may actually be the first line of defense against untreated sleep apnea. This is because obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is directly caused by a full or partial blockage in the airway, which means that Dr. Kiani can often detect tell-tale signs during oral exams. If you have been positively diagnosed, she can also design a custom-made oral appliance that helps to reposition the jaw and maintain easy, uninterrupted breathing throughout the night without any rude awakenings.
tMJ therapy
TMJ disorder (also sometimes referred to as simply TMD) is a serious and oftentimes debilitating health problem that’s caused by dysfunction and strain in the temporomandibular joints. These joints connect your jaw to your skull and are necessary for chewing, speaking, and other essential everyday actions. If you are experiencing significant facial pain on a regular basis, please don’t hesitate to let our doctors know so that we can assess the health of your TMJ. Therapy options are available if needed, including personalized occlusal splints and equilibration (bite adjustment).
