At Foundations: Perio Sleep Aesthetics, we go beyond traditional dental care by offering Sleep and Airway Medicine services. We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders and airway-related conditions. Our dedicated team of experts is committed to improving your sleep quality and overall health. Working closely with physicians to partner in the best treatment approach, we assess and address issues such as sleep apnea, snoring, and breathing difficulties. By identifying the root causes of these problems, we develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

If you have tried CPAP therapy but just cannot tolerate the machine, the noise, the mask, or the inconvenience of traveling with the CPAP machine, we offer alternative sleep apnea treatments.

With our comprehensive approach to sleep and airway medicine, you can experience the transformative benefits of a good night’s sleep and optimal airway function, ultimately enhancing your overall well-being. Trust us to help you achieve better sleep and a healthier life.

Haseeb Malik

Like many others, I have severe anxiety going to a dentist. Foundations Perio has amazing providers & staff. They put an effort to make you comfortable with your treatment. Dr Fatima Tiwana takes time to explain everything & puts patient’s comfort her top priority without rushing through things. I drive 40 minutes to go to this clinic. Highly Recommend!

All with such careful touch given throughout entire appointment.- including all post-appointments.

I saw Dr. Fatima Tiwana at the Foundations office in Chaska. I was very pleased with the very kind courtesy of the staff! This was my first visit. I was there for a consultation re some gum issues. Dr. Tiwana put me at ease right away. She was above & beyond attentive to my concerns. Was thorough in her exam and answered any questions I had. Seeing a dentist/periodontist can be stressful in and of itself. The staff at Foundations strive to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

Ryan Prondzinski

I have had two mouth/gum surgeries in the last year (July of 2023 and January of 2024). Dr. Tiwana performed each surgery with excellence and great care. She treated me like family, made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the surgeries, and kept my pain to a minimum. Not only was my mouth treated well, but Dr. Tiwana treated me as a person with dignity and respect, as did the other staff at West Lakes Dentistry in Chaska. All my questions were answered patiently and until I understood, and Dr. Tiwana makes herself available post surgery as well for any follow up questions or concerns you may have, and in fact responds to those questions or concerns. You will not find better holistic care for your gums if you decide to work with Dr. Tiwana, and your mouth and teeth will receive the same care with West Lakes Dentistry in Chaska and Mound (where I go to get my regular cleanings). I was asked by one of the dentists to write this review and I do so gladly, encouraging anyone seeking gum or teeth care to work with Dr. Tiwana and West Lakes Dentistry.

Whitney Walz

It’s hard to beat the dentist I had growing up which created a positive impression of dentists for me — but West Lakes I’m Chaska has done it! Everyone I’ve worked with is thorough, efficient, and super nice. Also, Colleen is fantastic. She goes the extra mile when dealing with insurance, she provides estimates before services are performed, and she has fit me into the schedule last minute.
