James Loye has been in the health field since 1982 when he first earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Loma Linda University. He remained at Loma Linda University to continue his education and proudly earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1986. As a family man, Dr. Loye knows how important a visit to the dentist is for continued health and self-esteem for clients of all ages. He is passionate about his practice and works to increase quality of life for his clients. Not content to just deliver quality general dentistry practices, Dr. Loye has continued to gain experience and seek additional knowledge in special areas of dentistry like sleep apnea and short term orthodontics.
Seeking an advanced professional education was only one approach James Loye has used to keep up with new methods in dentistry.

Unpleasant dentist experiences of the past need haunt you no longer when you decide to visit James Loye.

If it has been a while since you have made regular annual visits to a dentist, you will be inspired to continue once you realize the modern updates and methods introduced to modern dental practice. Some of the methods employed by Dr. Loye to ease the apprehension, and perhaps have you wishing you had made the decision to see a dentist sooner are:
• 6 Month Smile orthodontics
• Advanced laser diagnosis and treatment

• Digital X-rays
• Porcelain veneers
• Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation (TENS) treatment

The medical field is quickly recognizing the value of a dentist in identifying potential health problems. The health of a person’s mouth can lead to diagnosing problems elsewhere in the body such as the heart, high blood pressure and diabetes before other symptoms have escalated. It is little wonder then that a dentist can help solve the sleep apnea dilemma many patients endure. The standard treatment of the CPAP machine does not always fit the needs of every sleep apnea sufferer. Depending on the diagnosis, sleep apnea may be improved with an oral appliance fitted in a dentist’s office. Dr. James Loye has the experience to fit a client’s mouth with an oral appliance to ease the symptoms and possibly help a patient avoid the complications of sleep apnea. Oral appliances Dr. Loye may recommend to alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea include:
• Thornton Adjustable Positioner- a custom made two piece appliance that holds the jaw forward so a patient’s tongue and soft tissues do not collapse, thus causing snoring
• SomnoMed MAS- upper and lower dental plates that tighten the soft tissues by moving the jaw forward
• Herbst Telescopic Appliance- originally used for orthodontic and TMJ therapy, the device has proven effective for sleep apnea in some patients
• OASYS- Oral/Nasal Airway System is an FDA approved device that repositions the jaw and includes a patented nasal dilator for easier nasal breathing
• Elastic Mandibular Advancement Appliance- this appliance uses elastic bands to protrude the lower jaw for unobstructed air flow
Dr. James Loye will individualize treatment to find the best alternative for each patient. Furthermore, he offers financing options to help make treatment affordable. PPO dental insurance is also accepted as is more conventional insurance plans. Dr. Loye will review all your options and make sure you are comfortable with the treatment recommended and the specifics of your treatment to move forward before any procedure is begun.
