Snoring the sound created when air flows past relaxed or loose tissues in the throat, which causes the tissues to vibrate and thus creates an irritating sound. Snoring is an indication that some type of resistance is occurring in the upper respiratory system. Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) occurs when the breathing effort crosses over from just being harmless snoring to a possibly troublesome disorder.

Best dentist I have been to since I was a kid. She is kind, gentle and explains what she does as you go so you feel comfortable. Office staff is even better! Couldn't have picked a better place to get my chipped front tooth fixed.

Dr. Vetter office staff are always warm and welcoming. The hygienist worked very hard and painlessly to make my not so lovely teeth look and feel terrific. Also appreciate her suggestion of a more modern, mobile water pik product. Thanks to all!

I've always been dentist phobic. Consequently it's been over 20 yrs since I had a dental check up & teeth cleaning. I saw two dentist prior to finding Dr. Kristy Vetter which wasn't a good experience as I felt that my fears were annoying. Therefore, I saw Dr. Kristy and although I wasn't on board with having deep teeth cleaning I went ahead and had it done. Dr. Kristy's approach approach alleviated (most of my anxiety) by taking the time in answering my questions, being gentle and letting me know ahead of time what she was going to do. So, I feel incredibly fortunate to have an excellent, compassionate, dentist with a great professional and friendly staff. I highly recommend Dr. Kristy. Thank you Dr. Kristy Grace

I switched my dental care to Dr Vetter last year. I cannot say enough great things about her. She is caring, kind, and gentle. I have been more than pleased with the entire office staff. I've had cleanings, a crown replaced, and I've got Invisaligns. That I don't mind going to the dentist now says something, I'm a lifelong dentist hater, Dr. Vetter has made me a happy patient!

As a long time patient of Growney's Marina office, I'm thrilled he has expanded his operations downtown. When I lived "on campus", his Marina office was convenient. now residing in the burbs I like this downtown office better because I can BART in to my appointments.

Excellent dentist but very expensive. Charged over twice the average rate for dentists in this area. Business office reminded me of a used car lot. Other than that was excellent. Almost $1800 for an uncomplicated simple porcelain crown. Off the charts according to USC dental school charge master. When I complained to her staff, her assistant told me I could go elsewhere if I would accept inferior care. Dr. Vetter called me this morning and told me that the $1800 was for a crown and a filling.

At no time had a filling been mentioned nor did I expect one. She apologized for not calling me sooner but that yesterday was the anniversary of her husbands death and that her office manager was on maternity leave. She apologized for my misunderstanding and for her office. Nothing was resolved by the call. I am concerned about unprofessional conduct and will pursue it further.

Excellent dentist but very expensive. Over twice what I paid before. Great for anyone that does not care about cost. Almost 1800 for a simple porcelain crown with no complications. Office reminded me of a used car dealership. High pressure finance! Wish I could be positive but as a doctor I care about patients not the dentist

Dr. Vetter is amazing.your first visit with her is approx. 2 hours long. She takes any necessary X-Rays (if you have current X-Rays from your previous Dentist, she will request the X-Rays to be emailed to us) She then does a very comprehensive oral exam, and between the X-Rays and very thorough exam she will form her clinical diagnosis, explaining everything as she goes along.

Then the best part, she does a very and detailed cleaning of your teeth (she was a hygienist first and then attended USC for her doctorate in Dentistry. She will explain her findings and give you options for treatment- NO upselling and no pressure to accept her treatment plan. If you decide to do nothing, she just explains the consequences of non- treatment or explains different options.

When I left her office I felt like that dental visit was the most complete dental visit I had ever had in my life! If you want honesty and excellence, please go see Dr. Vetter-you won't regret it!

I've been going here since I was a little kid, and I have nothing but fond memories. Not only do they do great work, but I am always treated with kindness and respect. Every experience in the past 15+ years has been pleasant and comfortable!

I have never experienced such fantastic dental care as I have at Dr. Vetter's office. It feels like I'm having a spa day when I'm there for my teeth cleaning and exam. A massage chair and essential oils are just part of the special treatment. They are incredibly caring and very thorough in their practice, I can't say enough about them. I always look forward to my visits!

My family decided to switch dentists about a year ago or so, and we have all been very happy with this choice! Kristy and her staff are super caring when it comes to each of our individual plans and explaining everything. I admittedly may have let my mouth health go *a lot* during my time in college. but I'm now seeing progress because of the course she and her team have set me on.

My cleaning/filling appointments have all been quick and the staff very attentive/professional when working on me. There's a very personal touch at this office which I don't think my family has ever experienced before! Can't recommend enough.

Called to ask if they would accept my insurance and basically made me feel like trash for having an HMO.

Dr. Vetter and her entire staff are not just friendly, they are absolute experts in dentistry. They are always thorough and precise (Dr. Vetter does not settle for anything less than perfection) and answer any questions I have, no matter how many.

Dr. Vetter has been our family dentist for over 20 years and could not be more pleased with her expertise as well as her friendly staff! I recently had laser teeth whitening in office and am absolutely thrilled with the immediate results. Basically a quick hour procedure that is pain free and thorough. Left with sparkling teeth and full trays for touch ups. Would highly recommend Dr. Kristy Vetter for any dental procedure big or small as well as cosmetic laser.

Dr. Vetter and her entire office staff are great. I've been there twice now, and she makes you feel as comfortable as possible. I had a filling done this morning, and I can honestly say it was the least painful experience at the dentist ever. I would highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

Dr. Vetter is very sweet, caring, punctual and professional. Her work is outstanding- precise, thorough and minimal discomfort. Her staff is very helpful and welcoming. I'm so impressed, I'm switching my kids here from their pediadontist:) No scare tactics or sales pitches- a real dentist:)

Dr. Vetter and her Team are top notch when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. Irene is an awesome hygienist.doesn't over look anything! They all go above and beyond to make sure your comfortable and getting the best care possible. I would recommend Dr. Vetter and her Team to everyone I know. I must say I'm very particular about my teeth. Last year Dr. Vetter updated my 6 veneers across the top and I can't tell you how fantastic they look.

Everyday and all day long people comment on my teeth, but NOT for standing out like 6 fake white chicklet pieces of gum, but for how natural and beautiful they look! Dr. Vetter really knows her stuff! Hands down the best dentistry practice in OC!

Found Dr. Vetter by absolute chance after moving here from Colorado. I've had LOTS of experience with dentists over the years and Dr. Vetter is the best dentist I've had in 30 years. Hands down, best I've ever found. THIS OFFICE IS NOT CLOSED!

Dr. Kristy Vetter is amazing! My family started seeing her about 6 months ago. I was blown away by how thorough she was with each and every one of us. The diagnostic tools that she uses were never even offered to us at our old dentist's office! We were presented with treatment plans and given the opportunity to decide what dental work to pursue and what to delay.

She was able to solve problems that had been ongoing for many years. I was particularly impressed that even on the day that I had a lot of dental work done, that I was not even in pain that afternoon. The mood in her dental office is genuine cheerfulness and it makes it a great place to go.
