How We Personalize Care
Dr. Spencer Rickers connects teeth, jaw, muscles, and airway—because they all work together.
- We screen for mouth breathing, tongue posture, and bite stress that drive wear and crowding
- For kids, gentle guidance and simple appliances support healthy growth and better sleep
- For adults, restorations are planned to fit your face and stay stable long term
Relaxed Care Options
You choose your level of calm. We take care of the rest.
- Inhaled minimal sedation to take the edge off
- Oral sedation for deeper relaxation
- IV sedation so you can rest through longer visits, often with little memory afterward. Many patients discover they need less sedation over time as trust and comfort grow.
