Dr. Takashi Nishimura
General dentist, DMD
Dr. Nishimura makes and fits oral appliances for adults whose physician has recommended one for snoring or sleep apnea.
He asks for the diagnosis first, because a physician makes it and he doesn't. Then he looks at your teeth, gums, bite and jaw joints, makes the appliance and checks how it fits at each visit.
He writes to your physician after each visit, with your permission, and leaves medical decisions to them.
What he does
- Oral appliances
- Follow-up visits and bite checks
- Checkups and fillings
