A malocclusion is the abnormal alignment of teeth, jaw and/or a bad bite. It can develop when the upper and lower teeth do not fit together normally. This misalignment of teeth and jaw can lead to oral health problems if not treated. Severely misaligned teeth and jaws can cause snoring, sleep apnea, and other breathing problems.
Work, school, soccer games, whatever it is, these life events can cause preventive health care to fall by the wayside. Then a painful symptom reminds you it’s been a while since your last checkup. It’s tempting to put off seemingly minor dental issues until your schedule lightens up. But the warning signs below shouldn’t be taken lightly. This is especially true if you’re managing a chronic condition, like diabetes. Oral health should not be neglected.
When you gaze in the mirror first thing in the morning what do you see? Missing teeth? Gaps in your smile? Crooked teeth? Yellow teeth? Below average confidence? Now’s the time to make an investment in your outward appearance by improving the value of your smile. Restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedures are the road to smile success. Once you’ve made the decision to restore that beautiful smile, the initial steps are up to the skilled dentist, Dr. Jose Sanchez. He can help your appearance and quality of life.
I went to Dr. Sanchez with a mess of a mouth. I’m now sporting a new set of dentures (I couldn’t afford implants) that look great! He was sympathetic and caring; not once did he make me feel bad about the condition of my teeth. When the first impressions didn’t work for the lab he custom made a set from wax. Dr Sanchez is caring and gentle with an awesome sense of humor. The entire office staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
For the past 14 years, Dr. Sanchez has taken such great care of my problematic teeth. He has also taken care of my four children’s teeth and my husband’s teeth as well. His wealth of knowledge in general dentistry, sedation, implants, orthodontics, and just about anything else you need is very extensive. He’s constantly taking classes to enhance and further his already vast knowledge and continues to provide the best dentistry in Tehachapi and surrounding areas. He and his office staff are pleasant and very caring; I can’t say enough about Dr. Sanchez! He’s wonderful and we will continue to receive excellent dentistry from David for many years to come. Great job, Doc! We love ya!

TEHACHAPI, CA, July 24, 2019 – Tehachapi dentist, Jose David Sanchez D.D.S., announced that he now accepts new orthodontic patients at the office of Sedation and Implant Dentistry of Tehachapi.
Everyone is self-conscious about something. The impact it has on one’s life can be damaging. Unfortunately, for many people who wear dentures, the experience is often one of extreme self-consciousness.
In 2015, a US Oral Care Survey (Biting Into Denture Care) revealed the negative impact dentures (also called snap on teeth) have on self confidence for people who wear them. One surprising result of the survey was that 53% of respondents said they received their first set of dentures at the age 44 or even younger. So we are not just talking about the lost confidence of the elderly.
Sleep apnea is a dangerous sleep disorder that deprives the body of oxygen and increases the risk of serious health issues. It is the involuntary cessation of breath while sleeping. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing as many as hundreds of times per night, sometimes for a full minute or longer.
Do you sometimes wake up with a tension headache or soreness in your jaw or face? Do you have tooth sensitivity and worn enamel on your teeth? Has your sleep partner complained about the grinding noises you make at night? If you’ve answered yes to these questions, you may have sleep bruxism, a condition in which you subconsciously grind or clench your teeth at night.
Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or an entire mouth. The many choices available to you are exhibited in this infographic.
