Get the Quality Sleep You Need & Deserve

Sleep apnea often leads to sleep deprivation. Being sleep deprived affects you in a variety of ways. It leaves you fighting daytime sleepiness. It is detrimental to your mood, which can harm your relationship with friends and relatives. It also can increase your risk of being in an automobile accident.

Those are just a few reasons you should want to treat your condition. You can do that by getting one of our oral appliances. Here is how it helps you:

  • Breathe Easier – People who have sleep apnea stop breathing up to hundreds of times every night. This prevents them from getting deep sleep. For people with obstructive sleep apnea (the most common type of this condition), their airways slowly close as they fall asleep. An oral appliance keeps their airways open.
  • Sleep Deeper – When you stop breathing, your body will wake you up long enough to take a few breaths. That can keep you in a cycle of light sleep, snoring, and waking throughout the night. You stay asleep longer when you continue breathing.
  • Enjoy Silent Nights – Your snoring is a direct result of your airway being restricted. By keeping your airway open, you snore less. In fact, your loved ones may report that you have practically stopped snoring entirely.

At our general dental office, you can find relief and improve the quality of your sleep for years to come. If you have struggled with CPAP therapy, you may find an oral appliance is simpler and easier to use.

We can also create other oral appliances to benefit you and your loved ones. If anyone in your family plays sports, bring them to us for custom-made athletic mouthguards. Patients who grind their teeth or have TMJ disorders have found relief from headaches and jaw pain with our bite guards.
