Advanced Technology
Advanced dental technology is an important part of the care we provide at Center for TMJ and Sleep Apnea. Our doctors utilize the Fotona LightWalker laser to deliver comfortable, efficient, and precise treatment for a variety of dental procedures. This versatile laser can be used for cavity preparation and removal, frenectomies, gum contouring, periodontal therapy, and many other treatments while promoting patient comfort and improved healing.
As part of our biological approach to dentistry, Ozone Therapy is a cornerstone of care at Center for TMJ and Sleep Apnea. This naturally occurring gas is used to reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, creating a healthier oral environment and helping lower the risk of tooth decay and other dental concerns.

If your teeth have been affected by decay or damage, our team offers holistic restorative treatments designed to rebuild the health, function, and appearance of your smile.
After removing decay, Dr. Jim Kleoppel and Dr. Sara Fletcher restore teeth with durable, amalgam-free composite fillings. For teeth with more extensive decay, fractures, chips, or wear, we may recommend a custom dental crown to restore strength, function, and a natural appearance.
Following our holistic philosophy, we use only amalgam-free restorations. Our ceramic and porcelain restorations are designed to provide long-lasting, natural-looking results while supporting your overall oral health. Call (816) 795-1000 today to schedule an appointment.

We also perform a comprehensive examination to identify any signs of dental concerns as early as possible. Early diagnosis allows us to provide more conservative treatment and helps prevent small issues from becoming more complex.
