Dr. Frank Henrich has advanced training in diagnosing and treating TMJ and sleep apnea. He provides leading-edge care using regenerative medicine and oral appliance therapy. Dr. Henrich focuses on patient-focused care for treatment tailored to your needs.
Do you have sleep problems? If you suffer from or have been diagnosed with a sleep disorder, we welcome you to explore the benefits of oral appliances. A custom sleep appliance can reduce your health risks and improve sleep.
Dr. Henrich has authored a book and been a part of the testing process for sleep appliances in scientific studies. He has the expertise and experience to provide comprehensive care for your needs.
Are you experiencing jaw pain? The common signs of a TMJ disorder can include jaw pain, difficulty chewing, jaw popping or clicking, and temporal headaches. Dr. Henrich can provide a range of treatment modalities, including regenerative medicine, which can reduce pain and discomfort and improve your quality of life.
Regenerative medicine is a non-surgical treatment. It uses stem cell technology to promote healing and restore function to damaged tissue. Successful treatment with regenerative medicine will reduce pain and improve jaw function.
Why Choose Us?
Our dental care team understands the key elements for the successful treatment of sleep apnea or TMJ disorders. These include:
Patient Education
Dr. Henrich believes that patients should understand their dental health. He takes the time to review your dental problems, possible treatments, and what results you can expect. Dr. Henrich will answer all your questions so you feel confident and fully understand each step of your treatment plan.
Personalized Care
We know that every patient is different. That’s why Dr. Henrich will take the time to learn about your overall health and specific dental needs. He’ll take note of your dental concerns, medical conditions, and allergies so he can give you better care.
Following the Plan
To get the best results, it’s important to follow your treatment plan. This means doing your part both in the office and at home. For example, oral appliance therapy works best when you use your device exactly as directed. We know it’s easier to stick with a plan when you understand how it helps. That’s why we’ll work closely with you to make sure your treatment plan is clear, realistic, and something you feel good about.
We want you to understand how treatment works, what to expect, and how it will impact your overall health and wellness. Our goal is to address the root cause of the problem for improved health, quality of life, and reduced risk for related health problems. While TMJ disorders can impact your enjoyment of daily life, sleep apnea can be fatal if not treated.
Our Treatment Options
Dr. Henrich focuses on TMJ disorders and sleep disorders. As an experienced dentist, Dr. Henrich will find the right solution to your dental problem and provide custom treatment.
TMJ Treatment
Do you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty chewing? You may have a TMJ disorder, a condition that affects the jaw joint. We can diagnose and treat these conditions to help improve your overall quality of life.
TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, can cause pain and discomfort in your jaw, head, neck, and shoulders. Our experienced team can provide a thorough evaluation to find the best treatment options for you. Dr. Henrich provides personalized care, from custom oral appliances to physical therapy exercises. He wants to help treat your symptoms and restore proper jaw function.
TMJ treatment options include PRF therapy and splints. During PRF therapy, we draw a small amount of your blood. We process this blood to create a concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors. Then, we inject this solution into the affected area of the temporomandibular joint. PRF injections help stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.
TMJ splints help if you clench and grind your teeth during sleep. We can take impressions of your mouth to create a custom nightguard. The TMJ nightguard helps keep your teeth apart and supports a healthy bite. Wearing a nightguard protects your teeth from further damage and can reduce jaw strain.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is a serious condition. Without treatment, it can lead to chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, and other health problems. Our dental team can provide a comprehensive sleep apnea evaluation to find the best treatment plan for you.
If you’re diagnosed with sleep apnea and want an alternative to a CPAP, we can help. We offer oral appliances to help you breathe easier and get a restful night’s sleep. Compared to a CPAP machine, an oral appliance is more comfortable to wear. We custom-make sleep appliances to your dental impressions.
They’re also smaller and more portable so they’re easier to travel with. Oral appliances are quieter than CPAP machines, which can help. Because they are easier to maintain than CPAP machines, appliances reduce the risk of bacteria buildup.
Dr. Henrich will recommend sleep appliances if you have mild symptoms. These appliances are customized to your mouth so your airway stays open throughout the night. Sleep appliances are less invasive and simpler to clean.
Payment Options
If applicable, our office will work with you to determine your possible dental health benefits. We also offer a range of payment options to meet your oral health and budget needs. We’re in-network with Cigna and Care in the Community Insurances for sleep apnea-related services and treatment.
Our team is happy to assist with any pre-authorizations. We can help guide you through the process to ensure you fully understand your coverage and out-of-pocket expenses.
