Conquer sleep apnea, snoring, and fatigue with a comfortable oral appliance.

If left untreated, OSA can increase the risk of serious health conditions, such as:

• Congestive heart failure
• Stroke
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Impotence
• Obesity
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Excessive fatigue
• Acid reflux
• ADHD
• Memory loss

OSA is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when the tongue and soft palate collapse onto the back of the throat, stopping air flow. The oxygen level drops and the brain moves out of deep sleep.  The person partially awakens and begins breathing again, often with a loud gasp. This process is repeated over and over throughout the night with each apnea lasting from 10 seconds to 3 minutes.

OSA sufferers stop breathing and are deprived of oxygen hundreds of times a night. Not only does OSA prevent the sufferer from achieving deep, restful sleep, it can put a tremendous strain on the heart and the body, greatly reducing the lifespan of the sufferer. This is a serious medical condition requiring diagnosis by a physician, but you can be on your way to a better night's sleep just by scheduling an appointment to learn about dental sleep apnea treatment.

If you think you have sleep apnea, call one of our sleep apnea treatment dentists now to schedule an appointment for a free consultation.

Sleep apnea symptoms vary and some appear only during sleep, making them hard to identify. The OSA sufferer's bed partner may be aware of loud snoring, gaps in breathing and loud gasps.

Daytime indicators of sleep apnea include excessive tiredness, trouble concentrating, reduced memory, irritability, mood swings, depression, heartburn, dry mouth, headaches and weight gain.

Many physicians and sleep centers prescribe Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) machines for OSA. However, up to 50% of OSA sufferers may be CPAP-intolerant.  The machines have been described as loud and uncomfortable, and may be as distasteful to a bed partner as snoring or the health concerns associated with OSA.

In many cases, we can successfully treat OSA with a small, comfortable, custom-fit mouthpiece. Similar to a retainer, the dental sleep apnea device gently repositions the lower jaw, preventing the airway from becoming obstructed. This life-changing solution can help you sleep through the night and wake up rested and refreshed every day.

If you think you or someone you love has OSA, don't suffer needlessly. We can help. This sleep apnea treatment is covered by Medicare and most medical insurance plans. We also offer financing and discount plans.

The OSA dental appliance can help you have quieter, more restful nights and wake up feeling refreshed and energized. Call now to schedule an appointment for a free consultation and be on your way to the best rest of your life!

There are many reasons why you may be looking for an alternative to your CPAP machine. Whether you experience irritation wearing the mask, have trouble getting comfortable, or find that you can’t sleep through the noise, dental sleep apnea treatment with a small, comfortable oral appliance can provide a solution.

The oral appliance gently repositions your lower jaw, changing the shape of the airway from a small elliptical shape to an open round shape.  This keeps the airway open and allows for the passage of air without the need for pressurized airflow through a CPAP mask. The appliance itself is similar to a retainer or sports mouthguard.  Significantly less noticeable and more comfortable than a CPAP machine, it also requires no electricity and is easy to pack for traveling.

Many medical insurance policies are now covering oral appliances for OSA.  If you are looking for a CPAP alternative, make an appointment now for a free consultation and find out if dental sleep apnea treatment can work for you.
