Dr. Terrylynn Tennant
Dr. Tennant is passionate about helping her patients breathe better for improved overall health. For the past 2 decades, she has put the primary focus of her practice on occlusion related Sleep Breathing Disorders. On a mission to help rid the world of Sleep Apnea, Dr. Tennant is on the Clinical Advisory Board of VIVOS® Therapeutics, Inc. Dr. Tennant is now treating people of all ages with a proprietary, non-invasive, nonsurgical treatment option for the treatment of mild to moderate dental sleep apnea, snoring, and sleep-disordered breathing stemming from malocclusion.
Dr. Tennant works closely with specialists in both dentistry and medicine to provide patients with the latest options of bio-remodeling to achieve maximally functional upper airways. In order to address the root cause, Dr. Tennant implements a variety of treatment modalities such as the VIVOS® system. By remodeling the upper jaw and the mid-face, she helps patients breathe and swallow more efficiently. This method also balances and enhances the facial aesthetics, giving patients a more youthful look.
