Creating a Different Kind of Dental Experience
I want patients to think that we are different. The typical dentist does not necessarily have a positive reputation in our society. Since day one, I have wanted to try to change that.
The care my sister and I provide at Elevate Airway TMJ Sleep is different from what patients may typically find. There are many amazing dentists, wonderful chiropractors, and skilled orofacial myofunctional therapists. What makes our practice unique is that we bring these areas together in a very synergistic way.
Looking at the Whole Person
We look at the bigger picture. We are not just looking at your teeth. We are not just looking at your sleep. We are looking for the root cause of what is going on.
When we see breakdown in your mouth, something may also be happening systemically. Oral health can provide important information about what may be affecting the rest of the body.
Two Doctors and Two Perspectives
Even on your first visit, you are meeting with both of us. You are receiving different perspectives on what you have going on.
Dr. Stamm has spent extensive time and energy becoming highly skilled in functional dentistry and looking at the bigger picture of what is happening with your airway, jaw, and bite.
Posture, Muscle Function, and Oral Habits
Dr. Chrissy has been a chiropractor for 20 years and evaluates how posture, muscle tension, and pulling patterns may play a role.
As an orofacial myofunctional therapist, she also looks at the tongue, oral dynamics, and swallowing patterns. These are things we may not think about in daily life, but they can play a significant role in the concerns patients bring to the practice and in how those concerns are addresse
Health From the Inside Out
At Elevate Airway TMJ Sleep, our goal is to help make you healthier from the inside out as well as the outside in.
