Sleep Apnea
Dr. Merchant and her staff have provided fantastic dentistry for myself and my entire family (ages 16-83). But that is not what I am writing about. I wanted to take the time to write about sleep health. I'd been diagnosed with sleep apnea and struggled with aspects of this for years. I had been put on a CPAP and had a sleep specialist work with me, and yet was still not sleeping more than 5 hours a night and was chronically exhausted. My entire life was negatively affected, and I had frankly given up hope. Dr. Merchant worked with me, and it was the best decision I could have made. In the two weeks I've been using the new therapy, I've slept better than I have in the last decade! I have felt rested for the first time in years, and I'm more alert at work, my memory has improved, and I have renewed energy. Sleep health is such a core of overall health and wellbeing and Dr. Merchant has provided the help I needed. I cannot express my gratefulness enough, and highly recommend her to anyone.

Myobrace and Pediatric Sleep
When we made the decision to pursue this treatment, traveling to Arizona was simply not feasible due to the considerable distance between our home and the clinic. However, thanks to Katelyn's invaluable assistance, we were able to complete all the necessary records remotely via Zoom. In October 2022, Dr. Merchant recommended the Myobrace for my 6 1/2-year-old son after I confided in her about the constant sleep deprivation I was experiencing due to his persistent mouth breathing during the night. We wasted no time and began using the Myobrace in December 2022.
Dr. Merchant's reassuring words, "He'll come and share his dreams with you," echoed in my mind, filling me with hope and gratitude for her insightful suggestion.
Over the course of this ongoing journey, which has now spanned a little over two years, my son and I, as a mother-child duo, have been able to achieve numerous milestones under the expert guidance of Dr. Merchant and Ms. Katelyn.
The most significant improvement has been the restoration of peaceful, uninterrupted sleep for the entire family. We are now able to sleep soundly and wake up fully rested every day of the week.
Additionally, his morning breath no longer has an unpleasant odor.
The Myobrace has also proven to be a tremendous asset during the teething process, as his permanent teeth have grown in perfectly aligned.
Furthermore, he no longer experiences nightmares and now shares his dreams with me, just as Dr. Merchant had predicted.
Remarkably, this entire treatment has been conducted exclusively through Zoom consultations, and it has been nothing short of a miracle for us. The Myobrace has significantly enhanced our quality of life as a family, and for that, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Merchant and Ms. Katelyn. Their unwavering support and expertise have made all the difference in our lives.

TMJ, Sleep and Breathing
I’ve been to many dentists over the years, and Dr. Merchant and her office are the best by far. They take great care of my teeth, never with any pain during cleaning. Dr. Merchant is trained in many innovative techniques that treat the whole patient via dental care. She used appliances (NOT CPAP) to treat my sleep apnea, and I now sleep better than I have for years. Also, they are just a great group of people who make going to the dentist fun!

I was diagnosed with severe sleep-apnea a couple of years ago. I could not wear a CPAP and Dr. Merchant offered an OSD (Oral Sleep Device) as another option. The OSD literally changed my life! The simple mouthguard has all but eliminated my snoring! My energy is higher, my blood pressure is lower, I’m healthier, I’ve lost weight and most importantly my wife has been able to get good sound sleep for the first time in years! Truly a life changer. THANK YOU Dr. Merchant!

Dr. Merchant and her team exceeded all of my expectations. I was desperate to get more information and solutions after being diagnosed with sleep apnea. My primary care doctor has been very hands off after my sleep apnea diagnosis. I was given a CPAP machine and sent on my way. I have struggled to tolerate my CPAP machine and became desperate to find alternative solutions to this condition. Dr. Merchant was exactly what I was looking for. She was so thorough in helping me understand my options moving forward. I am so grateful that I found her. 😁

We were absolutely thrilled with our visit with Dr. Merchant! Her staff and office make you feel like walking into home. My 8 yo daughter had an evaluation for a tongue tie release and she wasted no time in starting her treatment, but not before providing us with thorough data and answers to every question to reassure us it was the best thing for her. She has an incredible wealth of knowledge in her field and we are blessed to have found her and her staff to treat our daughter. I would bring every member of my family to her in a heartbeat!
