Wake Up Refreshed With Sleep Apnea Treatment

If you show signs of sleep apnea, you can bring it up at your next checkup. Your dentist will recommend you complete a take-home sleep study. Once you finish the sleep test, the results are sent to a sleep specialist, who will confirm your diagnosis. Then, you’ll return to our practice for a convenient and comfortable solution.

CPAP machines are often recommended for sleep apnea. However, you may find a CPAP uncomfortable and inconvenient. Our sleep apnea treatment offers a more patient-friendly alternative: a custom-made oral appliance. This device is designed to fit your unique needs and give you much-needed relief. Here’s how it works:

  • Using digital X-rays and scanning technology, your dentist will design a sleep appliance. This device is made of high-quality materials and will fit you perfectly.
  • The oral appliance gently shifts your lower jaw forward. It will prevent your tongue and soft tissues from blocking your airway and causing sleep apnea symptoms.
  • By keeping your airway clear, the appliance allows you to have a better quality sleep. You will wake up feeling refreshed and energized in the morning.

As an added benefit, our sleep apnea appliance can significantly reduce or completely eliminate snoring. You also won’t have to deal with clumsy equipment that requires frequent upkeep. Instead, you take care of your sleep guard by cleaning it with a gentle soap and soft toothbrush.

We might also recommend a frenectomy done with our Solea laser to improve your airway function or Solea Snore Therapy. Snore therapy is not a treatment for sleep apnea, but it can help you (and your partner) get better sleep by reducing or eliminating your snoring. You’ll both feel well-rested and more energetic.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea
What is sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common type of sleep apnea, occurs when your air passages become temporarily blocked repeatedly while you sleep. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat relax to the point that your airway is restricted, causing you to quit breathing for a few seconds. This cycle can repeat itself dozens of times per hour in severe sleep apnea sufferers.

Why is sleep apnea bad?

Sleep apnea is a serious condition because it interrupts critical airflow while sleeping. It can leave you feeling lethargic during the day and interfere with your work productivity and your personal life. In addition, sleep apnea has also been linked to several serious health conditions like high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression.

Why does sleep apnea cause high blood pressure?

Sleep apnea increases your blood pressure because it puts stress on your body. When you have sleep apnea, you stop breathing dozens or hundreds of times each night. This reduces your oxygen levels and puts added strain on your heart and your cardiovascular system. When you are getting healthy sleep, your blood pressure goes down. Sleep apnea can prevent that from happening, since it raises your normal blood pressure over time.
