What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. These interruptions can occur multiple times per night, leading to a decrease in sleep quality and potentially serious health consequences. Common signs of sleep apnea include:
- Snoring
- Daytime fatigue
- Sudden awakenings
- Headaches
- Dry mouth
Our Approach to Treating Sleep Apnea
Our dentists and team specializes in treating sleep apnea. The treatment process begins with a thorough evaluation, which may include a sleep study to assess the severity of your condition. Based on the findings, we provide tailored treatment options. For many patients, oral appliance therapy — wearing a custom-fitted device during sleep to maintain open airways — proves to be an effective solution. This non-invasive treatment is an excellent alternative to CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines, especially for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
