Explore Sleep & Airway CareBetter sleep can support better overall health.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder that requires appropriate medical evaluation and diagnosis.
For selected patients who have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, dental oral appliance therapy may be one part of an individualized treatment plan.
Dental care can be one part of sleep apnea treatment.
Sleep apnea management often involves collaboration between medical and dental professionals. A proper diagnosis comes first, followed by consideration of the treatment options appropriate for the individual patient.
When oral appliance therapy is indicated, we can provide a custom dental appliance and monitor the oral aspects of treatment.
Sleep and airway services.
Our role focuses on dental evaluation and oral appliance therapy when it is appropriate within your sleep care.
Sleep Apnea Care
We help patients understand the dental component of obstructive sleep apnea care and coordinate appropriately when further medical evaluation, diagnosis or ongoing sleep management is needed.
Oral Appliance Therapy
For appropriate patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance may be used to help maintain the jaw and airway in a more favorable position during sleep.
Diagnosis first. Treatment second.
Discuss your concerns
We can review your dental history, oral structures and any existing sleep-related information.
Appropriate sleep evaluation
Obstructive sleep apnea requires proper medical evaluation and diagnosis before treatment decisions are made.
Personalized treatment
When oral appliance therapy is appropriate, we can provide and manage the dental appliance as part of the overall care plan.
Designed for the individual patient.
Oral appliances used in sleep apnea care are custom-fitted to the patient's teeth and bite. If appliance therapy is appropriate, we evaluate fit, comfort and dental considerations and provide follow-up as needed.
You don't need to diagnose sleep apnea yourself.
Snoring, poor sleep or daytime tiredness can have many possible causes. If you have concerns, the right starting point is an appropriate professional evaluation rather than trying to choose a treatment based on symptoms alone.
