Snoring and possible suffocation while sleeping has been a serious problem not just for its victim; but also for the immediate family members who stay under the same roof. These two are that kind of problem which must be addressed immediately for curing it; especially sleep apnoea. It seems Dentists @ Capri have found their cue for promoting a specialised service in 2015. Hence, they called upon press-conference in their Gold Coast clinic.
The gathering was huge because this organisation only calls up for it once or twice in a year. The person addressing the attendees was Dr. John Utama, who is one of the senior dentists in this organisation. He didn’t waste much time after exchanging pleasantries and came straight to the point. He started with, “Snoring has been a serious problem for many centuries, but we started paying attention to it only a few decades ago; to find a cure. In the same way a connected ailment called sleep apnoea was not diagnosed for many decades; but now we have a cure for it too. In order to stop snoring and resolve complexities of suffocation in sleep apnoea, we follow few procedures.”
“With the help of latest 3D scanning machines, we check the problem area and the way muscles are settled around the air-passage. This allows us to study the condition more closely from all three dimensions and then we can develop an apparatus that will hold the lower jaw in a forward position, which makes for a clear passage for air. We never recommend surgery; unless that is the only option left and the condition have gone from severe to worst. Today we are well equipped with whatever is there in advanced dentistry machinery or tools. Since the year is approaching to an end, we look forward to equip ourselves better with latest tools and skills in 2015. That will be done, not to just cure sleep apnoea as well as snoring, but lot of other denture ailments.”
A journalist asked him, will there be an increase in cost that a patient has to bear in order to get treated for these two conditions? He replied, “No and yes, we will attempt to keep the billing on our patients as affordable as we do now, but if our patients want to have something extra included in the treatment; then most probably the cost may rise. However, we always give our patients multiple choices in treatments and also clarify the cost occurring on them. This transparency allows our patients to choose only what is best and affordable to them.For our sleep apnoea gold coast treatments, we follow the same modus operandi and our patients have always loved this practice because they have control over what they want to have and how much they are willing to spend.”
Though there are many other dentists in Gold Coast, but Capri has caught the attention of many, which can be seen on their website’s patient story page.
