Airway-Centred Dentistry

At Wholehearted Dental, we look beyond the teeth to understand how your airway affects your overall wellness. By addressing issues like restricted breathing or sleep-disordered breathing, we create personalized care that supports healthy development, restful sleep, and long-term vitality.

Looking deeper than the teeth. Breathing is where it begins.

Your airway affects more than just how you sleep—it influences how you grow, how you feel, how you function, and how your teeth come together. At Wholehearted Dental, we believe that oral health can’t be fully understood without considering how well you breathe.

As part of our comprehensive exams and treatment planning, we screen for signs of airway dysfunction, including mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding, enlarged tonsils, and worn enamel. These signs can point to underlying issues such as sleep-disordered breathing or obstructive sleep apnea—which may affect both children and adults.

When appropriate, we collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure patients receive the full-picture care they need—whether that’s myofunctional therapy, orthodontic intervention, or sleep studies.
Our goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to help you or your child breathe, sleep, and thrive with comfort and confidence.

Because a healthy airway is foundational to a healthy life.
