Snore No More

With so many patients complaining about their spouses snoring and keeping them awake my team and I decided it was time to invest in a laser that can help tremendously reduce snoring. 

This procedure, done solely with lasers, called NightLase provides a non-surgical path to a better night's sleep. The laser light therapy tightens and opens the airway with a very high success rate and there is no anesthesia necessary. After just one treatment most patients notice at least a 50% reduction in snoring!

While this treatment will probably not cure the underlying disease of sleep apnea, it will allow patients utilizing CPAP therapy to, in most cases, turn down air pressure. Nightlase also works very well in conjunction with oral appliance therapy.*

"After my first NightLase procedure with Dr. Gardner, I immediately felt like I could breath better, and every night since then my husband has said that I have just lightly 'purred,' instead of a loud snore like before. And that's after just one treatment!" - Rachel P. (actual patient)

We invite you to try NightLase, the alternative treatment for snoring, with us for a very special price. This procedure, which is three sessions, is normally an $1,800 investment. Beginning now until October 31 we're happy to offer this to our patients for only $1,200. That's $600 in savings! 

For more information on this revolutionary treatment we've included a video below.

*Oral appliance therapy is an alternative to CPAP therapy and is offered in our office. For more information visit this blog post

Just see what a few of our patients have to say about their life-changing experience with dental implants:

"At the time in which I starting coming to Dr. Gardner's office, I was having constant trouble with my dentures. They were loose and causing constant issues. I was self-conscious; I would not go out to eat with others, watched what I ate, and knew what not to try.Dr. Gardner placed implants on the top and bottom and new dentures were made.
I have more confidence now; I smile a lot more. I look directly at someone when doing so. I had a tendency not to smile before as I was afraid someone would know I was wearing dentures. I laugh more, and I eat more of the foods I enjoy, not the ones that are just safe." -Cathy J.

A Friendly Dose of "Mental Floss"

Here's a dose of "Mental Floss"


It's pretty common knowledge - and scientifically proven - that elephants have remarkable memory recall well into old age.


Something else unique to elephants: They have six sets of teeth in their lifetime!

Granted, elephants have to keep track of family, friends, foe, food and water holes!

But they don't have hair appointments, sales to catch, soccer practice or work deadlines. Sometimes it just feels like a jungle out there.

Relax. Let us help you out. If you haven't seen us in 6 months or longer, pick up the phone and schedule your appointment, while it's fresh on your mind!

Remember, unlike elephants, you only get one set of permanent teeth!

Make Your First Impressions Positive Ones

Thanks to cosmetic dentistry, your new "smile lift" can make you more approachable, huggable, kissable and confident. 

When it comes to professional networking or meeting that special someone, you only get one chance to make a good first impression. Fair or unfair- people make snap judgements.

Dr. Michelle Callahan, renowned psychologist and relationship expert says "...studies indicate that lasting impressions are made within the first three seconds of seeing someone."

Yikes...three seconds, unsightly teeth don't stand a chance!! We'll help you get the smile you were meant to have.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It!

While it may not be "right", economists with the Federal Reserve discovered that attractive people earn higher incomes!

An American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) study showed that smile flaws provoke incorrect assumptions about your personality, happiness, success and intelligence!

Similarly, according to the 2012 Kelton study, Americans consider those with straight teeth to be more trustworthy, happier, healthier and smarter. The survey

also showed that 38% of single adults would not consider going on a second date with someone who has crooked teeth!

Improving Your Smile Improves Your Life!

What a pain in the neck!

It's more than pain, it's affecting my life! 

According to the American Dental Association, more than fifteen percent of American adults suffer from chronic facial pain. Some common symptoms include pain in or around the ear, tenderness of the jaw, clicking or popping noises when opening the mouth, or even headaches and neck aches.

Two joints and several jaw muscles make it possible to open and close the mouth. They work together when you chew, speak, and swallow. These structures include muscles and ligaments, as well as the jaw bone, the mandible (lower jaw) with two joints, the TMJ's.

Diagnosis And Treatment

A dentist can help identify the source of the pain with a thorough exam and appropriate X-rays. Most often we find that the pain is related to the facial muscles, the jaw or temporomandibular joint, located in the front of the ear. Treatments for this pain can range from adjustments to teeth, orthodontics, restorations, etc. 

As a fellow of the prestigious Las Vegas Institute (LVI), Dr. Gardner has received extensive training on causes and treatments of chronic head, neck and jaw pain. 

If you or a loved one are experiencing these types of symptoms please give us a call to set up a consultation. 

Dentistry can change your life...for the BETTER!
