Snore & Sleep Apnea Services
Sleep Easy: Snoring and Sleep Apnea Services
A new treatment for patients with sleep disordered breathing problems is now available at Dental Professionals. Oral appliances were approved by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine in 2006 as a viable alternative to CPAP for treating mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome. The dental sleep medicine experts at Dental Professionals provide oral appliance therapy proven as effective as CPAP, but more comfortable and convenient, improving the quality of your life and health.
Here’s how it works: We will thoroughly examine your teeth and mouth and may use X-rays to confirm your oral health status, as well as ensuring that you are dentally appropriate for the oral appliance. Dental impressions and proper measurements are required to fabricate the device that is right for you. They are sent to a laboratory where an FDA-approved appliance is custom made to fit your mouth. The appliance will be fitted by one of the dental sleep medicine experts at Dental Professionals, who will show you how to insert and remove it yourself, as well as how to clean and care for it.
Compare to CPAP: An oral appliance travels well, requires no attachments or electricity, and is custom fit so that you can speak and drink while using it, and sleep in any position you’d like. There is also no cumbersome head gear or consumable parts to replace.
