This link is being referred to as the "Oral / Systemic Connection."

Do you snore?
Snoring is a problem that can affect any of us and also our loved ones. This used to be thought of as a nuisance, but it is now known to have implications to your overall health and can be a sign of sleep apnea. Snoring is caused by restriction in the air flow by the repositioning of tissue in the back of the mouth when sleeping. If you snore, there are ways we can help with oral appliance therapy (OAT). This is a successful method to help reduce or eliminate snoring in many people. OAT involves holding your lower jaw forward while you sleep in a way that creates more air way space making it easier to breath. To see if you would be a good candidate for OAT, call our office for an examination.

Thank you for going out of your way on my behalf... that extra mile! I so appreciate all you did.
Barb Duncan, Olathe, CO
Professional, friendly, supportive, humorous, diligent and respectful are just a few of the many attributes the staff at Dr. Graff and Peterson's Dental Office have shown me on my many visits to their office. I strongly recommend to those who are seeking a comprehensive dental care program to check with Drs. Graff and Peterson first.
Douglas Bean, Montrose, CO
Wow what a difference. I had regular dentures for four years & then researched for something better. I now have two implanted posts on my upper & lower gums. Unbelievable difference. No more loose wiggling around dentures anymore. They fit great, I can actually eat corn on the cob. I would highly recommend implanted posts if considering the option of getting dentures.
