Sleep Apnea Treatment

Don’t Let Sleep Apnea Keep You From Getting a Good Night’s Sleep!

Obstructive sleep apnea is far more dangerous than losing a night of sleep.

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please call our office as soon as possible. We will do whatever we can to see you right away and relieve your pain.

  • Symptoms of sleep apnea vary but can include early afternoon sleepiness.
  • Causes can include weight, lifestyle, genetics and many more.
  • The process starts by taking a simple sleep test.
  • In more severe cases of sleep apnea, a device called a CPAP machine may be needed.
  • Our experts will help explain the process and your specific options.

Why Am I Always Tired?

Are you always tired, but do not know why? You may think you are getting a full night’s sleep, yet something far more dangerous might be affecting your time of rest. You could suffer from sleep apnea in if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
  • Snoring
  • Waking up with headaches
  • Accidentally falling asleep during the day
  • Waking up short of breath
  • Tired feeling or drowsiness during the day
  • Choking or snorting sounds while sleeping

If you do show any of these signs of sleep apnea, call our office immediately.

Always Tired? Your Life Could Be at Risk

Obstructive sleep apnea is far more dangerous than losing a night of sleep.

Sleep apnea may lead to insomnia, snoring or choking in your sleep, and headaches when you wake up. Our dental office may suggest lifestyle changes, oral devices, or surgery for treatment. It varies, though, depending on what works best for each patient.

How We Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Treatments for sleep apnea vary depending on the patient. Something as simple as a change of lifestyle can greatly decrease your symptoms. Oral devices can be used to position the mouth differently to stop snoring and improve your condition. Some patients do not improve using a traditional breathing mask at night. The last resort is surgery. The good news is that our doctors work closely with local doctors to treat CPAP-intolerant patients with an FDA-approved oral device for treating obstructive sleep apnea.

The Benefits Of An Oral Appliance

  • Non surgical option
  • Ideal for patients who are CPAP intolerant
  • Clinically proven effective
  • Comfortable relief while sleeping
