Trust Our Treatment to Eliminate Your Sleep Apnea Symptoms
Obstructive sleep apnea (the most common type) occurs when your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to blockages in your airway. These breathing pauses can happen hundreds of times each night, preventing you from getting the restful sleep you need. Common sleep apnea symptoms include: noisy snoring that can annoy your bed partner, waking up gasping for air while sleeping, headaches first thing in the morning, and daytime sleepiness that interferes with your life.
The first step toward treatment is getting a proper diagnosis from your physician. They may prescribe a sleep study for you, which can be done at home or in a sleep lab. Once you have a diagnosis of sleep apnea, your dentist can design a custom oral appliance that helps keep your airway open while you sleep.
This comfortable device moves your lower jaw slightly forward, preventing your tongue and soft tissues in the back of your throat from blocking your airway. Unlike a CPAP, an oral appliance is:
- Silent and unobtrusive, so it won’t bother you or your bed partner
- Small enough to fit into a pocket, so it’s easy to take anywhere
- Easy to use, with no power source needed
- Simple to maintain, with no special supplies or cleaning routines required
You will most likely notice improvement in your sleep quality within the first few nights of using your oral appliance.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea
-
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects tens of millions of Americans. People who have sleep apnea can stop breathing hundreds of times each night. This condition can increase your risk of everything from high blood pressure to heart attacks and being in car accidents. The most common form of this disorder is obstructive sleep apnea, which your dentist here can help you treat.
-
Sleep apnea is harmful because it blocks your oxygen supply while you’re sleeping. This interferes with your sleep and leaves you feeling weak and tired the next day. However, sleep apnea has also been linked to serious health concerns like heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Treating sleep apnea can improve your quality of life as well as your life expectancy.
