Get Help for Your Sleep Disorder & Feel Better

Tired of being tired? If you’re waking up exhausted, snoring heavily, or gasping for air at night, you’re not alone – and it’s not your fault. These are classic signs of a sleep disorder. The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea, when your breathing is blocked hundreds of times by your soft tissues relaxing in your throat.

You can find help at our practice. At your next checkup, discuss your sleep apnea symptoms with your dentist. We will provide a simple take-home sleep test. Once your diagnosis is confirmed, you can return to our practice for a custom sleep guard. Unlike a CPAP machine, which can be cumbersome and awkward, a mouthguard offers numerous benefits:

  • Comfort Without Compromise – Your sleep guard is custom-molded to fit your mouth perfectly. Not only is it more comfortable than a CPAP, you are also free to sleep in any position you want. You’ll feel relief with the first night of wearing it.
  • Ultimate Convenience – Your sleep guard can easily go where you go. It fits in a pocket or purse and is perfect for travel. You won’t have to worry about awkward machinery or plugging anything into an outlet.
  • Easier Maintenance – You don’t need to clean out tubing and masks. All your sleep guard needs is a daily cleaning with a gentle soap and toothbrush. Just keep it in your case when you aren’t wearing it.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea
What is sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep apnea. It occurs when your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat temporarily block your airway during sleep. They relax enough to cut off your air supply and cause you to quit breathing. You’ll wake up long enough to take a few normal breaths before you fall back asleep. This cycle can repeat itself dozens of times an hour.

How is sleep apnea treated?

If you receive a sleep apnea diagnosis, our practice will take impressions and have a custom-fit sleep apnea appliance made for you to wear while sleeping. It will gently move your lower jaw forward to help keep your airway open. It can even reduce snoring. You’ll sleep better, feel better, and improve your overall health.

Will sleep apnea cause fatigue?

Yes, if you have sleep apnea, you might feel exhausted. This condition disrupts your deep sleep stages, including REM sleep, which can lead to sleep deprivation. As a result, you might experience tiredness and daytime sleepiness.
