Exceptional Dentistry Pain & Sleep Solutions

Exceptional Dentistry Pain & Sleep Solutions, operating under the website SleepBetterDentistry.com, is a specialized dental clinic located in Silver Spring, MD. While the initial name "Exceptional Dentistry - Cosmetic and Geriatric Dentistry" might suggest a broader range of services, the website and further information strongly indicate a primary focus on pain and sleep solutions, specifically addressing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders. The clinic emphasizes a non-surgical approach to treating these conditions, differentiating itself from more invasive methods. For sleep apnea, they utilize the Vivos System, an innovative oral appliance therapy designed to address the underlying cause of obstructed airways by promoting the development of underdeveloped jaws. This approach aims to provide a permanent solution rather than just managing symptoms, offering an alternative to traditional CPAP machines, Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs), tongue stimulating therapies, and surgeries. For TMJ disorders, Exceptional Dentistry Pain & Sleep Solutions offers various treatments, including occlusal splints (mouthguards), occlusal adjustments/equilibrations (minor dental tweaks to rebalance the bite), and BOTOX injections for pain relief. They pride themselves on offering minimally or non-invasive options for jaw pain, with a focus on long-term relief. The team includes Dr. Sheetal Solanki, who brings over two decades of dental experience and specializes in helping patients with TMJ disorders and sleep issues. Dr. Allafi is also part of the team, with extensive training in various dental specialties including dental implants, oral surgery, and prosthetics. The clinic emphasizes patient comfort and a personalized approach, understanding the interconnectedness of oral health with overall well-being. They also offer flexible financing options and encourage new patients to undergo thorough exams and consultations to determine the best treatment plan. Reviews consistently highlight the compassionate and professional nature of the staff and dentists, and their ability to address complex dental issues.
