Snoring and sleep apnea can disrupt your sleep and overall health. Sleep deprivation and other sleep disorders have been linked to serious health concerns like stroke, depression, high blood pressure, and diabetes. We offer professional treatment to help manage your symptoms and improve the quality of your rest.
Snoring
Snoring can interrupt your (or your family's) sleep. It's a common problem affected by factors like weight, sleep position, or age. However, solutions like orthodontic treatment, bite appliances, or sleep counseling are available to help you improve the quality of your sleep and get a good night's rest.
Sleep apnea
People with sleep apnea can wake 5 to 30 times per hour without realizing it. Apnea is caused when the muscles at the back of your throat relax when you fall asleep. This makes your airway so narrow it becomes difficult to breathe. Treatment is usually a CPAP device that keeps your airway open while you sleep.
Sleep disorder treatment
Diagnosis of sleep disorders begins with determining the underlying causes. Your dentist will examine your mouth, neck, and airway and discuss your sleep habits and state of health. Treatments include reducing risk factors, sleep counseling, orthodontic devices to reposition your jaws or a CPAP device.
