Dr. Muir has been in private practice for over 29 years. Born and raised in B.C., she graduated with her Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD) degree from UBC in 1987. Initially, she practiced in the fields of general family and restorative dentistry but her keen interest in facial development and airway maintenance led her early on to gear her practice towards the focus of Dental Sleep Medicine.

What is a Dental Sleep Medicine clinic?
We focus on helping patients manage their snoring and sleep apnea and leave the cleanings, checkups and dental work to the dental office they have already. It is not necessary for you to leave your current dentist and once an appliance is delivered we communicate with your dental office so they are aware of the appliance type and how to handle it during any dental work that is needed.
