The fourth office of Dr. Patricia Takacs focuses on treating patiens with sleep apnea & TMJ syndrome
Dr. Patricia Takacs opened her first dental office in Beaumont in 1984. She is a graduate from the University of Kentucky's College of Dentistry and has been in dentistry for over 30 years. During this time, she has seen Lexington grow and wanted to provide dental care to the growing community. She has since opened two more dental offices in Lexington in the Leestown and Hamburg areas.
Over the years, Dr. Takacs has developed a personal passion for sleep apnea, recognizing it's potential life threatening risks. In December 2017, she opened the TMJ And Sleep Dentistry Center of Central Kentucky, LLC to further treat patients with sleep apnea along with those suffering from TMD syndrome, chronic pain and headaches. She has completed a mini residency at Tufts in Boston in dental and medical sleep. Dr. Takacs is a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and has completed over 1000 continuing education hours in dental sleep medicine and facial pain.
