Testimonials


Dr. Sharma is the first dentist to address my sleep apnea and rate it at the same importance as the rest of my oral health. I was very nervous (as it happens with the dentist) and she and Karina and everyone else made it simple and easy. They explained all the steps of the sleep study, creating the molds for my mouth guard, and how to use it when it arrived; there’s also followup to ensure that it’s working and make any adjustments. Highly recommend! (link)

I was one of Dr Sharma’s first patients when she opened the Manchaca office and her office & staff are the best people. She is like my 2nd mom and like a good mom she was on me about my teeth grinding for a while. I finally agreed to do a sleep test and not only did I snore but I had apnea. Was set up with a Cpap machine but could not fall asleep with it no matter how hard I tried, so was fitted for a mouthguard to adjust my “sleeping” jaw alignment. I downloaded a Snore App to record myself while sleeping and the difference between sleeping without the guard vs with it was monumental. The average person scored 25 using the app for the first time, I scored an 89 without the guard and 17 with.(low is good / high is really bad) (link)

I came to Dr. Sharma looking for a dentist and found a great sleep apnea specialist as well. When going in for a cleaning, Dr
Sharma and her specialist, Gayle, noticed I grinded my teeth – a sign of sleep apnea. They chatted to me about my sleep experiences, then Gayle sent me home with an at home sleep apnea test kit. A few weeks later, the office had set me up with a sleep appliance specifically tuned for my mouth to help me breath at night and it works perfectly. They have a couple treatment options including the mouth appliance, if you don’t like the breathing machine. Overall, this was a great experience and they took care of my sleep apnea which I wouldn’t have even known I had.   (link)

Dr. Sharma and the team at Grand Oaks Dentistry have been wonderful and have taken good care of me over the past several years. I grind my teeth and have for years, and Dr. Sharma proactively and aggressively treated me with additional cleanings and two nightguards (soft and hard plastic). I had a couple of dental emergencies over the last 5 years — one needing a root canal and another chipping a crown — and her team was able to fit me in same day. On another occasion, I was traveling and she called me over the weekend to offer advice. Finally, based on my grinding she suspected sleep apnea; I had a sleep study and she was right. Treating my sleep apnea has been nothing short of life-changing — I am sleeping better, have energy throughout the day, and feel happier. All in, her care for her patients goes well beyond just teeth and I am grateful for all she has done for me. Go see her for all your dental needs (and more)! 🙂
