Sleep Apnea Treatment

Better Sleep Starts Here

If you snore loudly, wake up tired, or struggle with daytime fatigue, you may be experiencing sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a common condition that affects breathing during sleep and can have a major impact on your overall health and quality of life.

At our office, we offer comfortable, non-invasive treatment options using custom oral appliance therapy to help patients breathe easier, sleep better, and feel more rested.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder that causes repeated interruptions in breathing throughout the night. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea include:

Loud or chronic snoring

Gasping or choking during sleep

Waking up frequently at night

Morning headaches

Dry mouth upon waking

Daytime fatigue or sleepiness

Difficulty concentrating

Irritability or mood changes

Many people don’t realize they have sleep apnea until a spouse or family member notices the symptoms.

Why Treat Sleep Apnea?

Untreated sleep apnea can affect much more than your sleep. Over time, it may increase the risk of serious health conditions, including:

High blood pressure

Heart disease

Stroke

Diabetes

Depression and anxiety

Getting proper treatment can improve both your sleep and your long-term health.

Oral Appliance Therapy

For many patients, oral appliance therapy is an effective alternative to CPAP therapy.
An oral appliance is a custom-made device worn while you sleep. It works by gently repositioning the jaw to help keep the airway open throughout the night.

Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy

Comfortable and custom fit

Quiet and easy to wear

Portable and travel-friendly

Easy to clean and maintain

Non-invasive treatment option

May reduce snoring and improve sleep quality

Many patients prefer oral appliances because they are simple, discreet, and easier to tolerate than traditional CPAP machines.

What to Expect

1. Consultation & Evaluation

We’ll discuss your symptoms, health history, and previous sleep testing to determine whether oral appliance therapy may be right for you. During your evaluation, we also use advanced sonar technology to help detect airway blockage and identify areas that may be contributing to sleep-disordered breathing. This technology allows us to better understand your airway and create a more personalized treatment plan.

2. Custom Appliance Creation

Digital scans or impressions are taken to create a custom-fitted oral appliance designed specifically for your mouth.

3. Fitting & Adjustments

Once your appliance is ready, we’ll ensure it fits comfortably and make any needed adjustments for optimal results.

4. Better Sleep

With consistent use, many patients experience improved sleep quality, reduced snoring, and increased daytime energy.

Is Oral Appliance Therapy Right for You?

Oral appliance therapy is often recommended for patients with:

Mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea

CPAP intolerance

Chronic snoring

Difficulty sleeping with traditional sleep equipment

We work closely with physicians and sleep specialists to help patients receive comprehensive care.

INSURANCE & COVERAGE

Many patients are surprised to learn that sleep apnea treatment is typically covered under medical insurance rather than dental insurance. Because obstructive sleep apnea is considered a medical condition, oral appliance therapy is generally billed through your medical benefits.

We understand that insurance can feel confusing, and we’re here to help make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
