Dr. Claire Stagg is a conscientious dentist with an abundance of tools and training at her fingertips. She and her staff are warm and welcoming. I appreciate her thoroughness and dedication. Also, I find her to be quite intuitive, able to sense the kind of support I have needed from other health care practitioners, as well as the work she does. She is like a conductor of an orchestra who directs her patients to other aspects of their health that are connected to the dental work she is doing. I feel that Dr. Stagg is very sincere in her desire to find the source of her patients’ health issues.
I initially went to her for teeth cleaning in January 2020. She found many other concerns with my dental health. Once I underwent many tests and scans in order for her to accurately access the situation, she made a comprehensive report of recommendations including oral appliances on both my upper and lower teeth. The information she provided was very detailed and rather overwhelming. It included expensive hardware to be worn 24/7. She provided links to videos about some of these issues in order to help me make my decision. After considering her proposal for several days & reading reviews of her and her practice, I decided to go with her highest recommendation. I did so in the hope that not only the dental concerns, but also related health concerns would improve under her care. I had a cross bite, an overbite, an underdeveloped arch and a “gummy smile”. She also found, with the help of a WatchPat device that I took home, that I had Obstructive Sleep Apnea. In addition to not sleeping well, I also suffered from long time sinus congestion that I had tried to address in many ways prior to seeing Dr. Stagg. My other main concern was lower back pain. She convinced me that everything was connected and that the dental work she was proposing would help to alleviate all of my health concerns.
When I first received the oral appliances it was a lot to take in. I needed to wear them all the time, even to eat, only taking them out to clean them and my teeth. Eating was frankly miserable. Food would get stuck in and around the appliances and chewing was greatly hampered by the surfaces of the appliances. After about 3 months, I began removing them to eat, against Dr. Stagg’s advice. Eating was much more manageable after that.
In the 7 months that I have worn the appliances my teeth have responded well. There are no more overlaps of teeth, my cross bite has improved, as has my overbite and underdeveloped arch. My teeth look better, for the most part, although I now have some large gaps between my teeth where food regularly gets stuck. ( Please note that we have not officially concluded this work).
I am 62 and while the appearance of my teeth was never a concern for me; the OSA, sinus congestion and lower back pain were. As far as I can tell, the dental work has done little to improve those issues. However, Dr. Stagg did refer me to several health care practitioners who have assisted me with these. For that I am grateful. I am also grateful to Dr. Stagg for her time, attention and expertise.
I have spent much time both going to her office every three weeks to monitor the progress of the appliances and maintaining them. I am told that I will be wearing them at night as retainers once their work is complete.
Further, I have seen quite a bit of turn over in the staff at Dr. Stagg’s practice in the year I have been going there.
