What Is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep apnea and occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, often due to relaxed throat muscles or jaw position.
Common Signs of Sleep Apnea:
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Waking up gasping or choking
- Daytime fatigue or brain fog
- Morning headaches or dry mouth
- Irritability or mood swings
- Difficulty concentrating
Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of:
- High blood pressure
- Stroke and heart attack
- Diabetes and weight gain
- Accidents due to daytime drowsiness
If you've been diagnosed or suspect sleep apnea, we offer dental-based solutions that are comfortable, effective, and CPAP-free.
Our Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatments
We work closely with your sleep physician or refer you for a sleep study if needed. Once diagnosed, we provide oral appliance therapy to manage your symptoms.
1. Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance Therapy
For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea or those who cannot tolerate CPAP, we offer custom oral appliances (similar to mouthguards).
- Repositions the jaw to keep the airway open
- Small, portable, and easy to use
- Quiet alternative to CPAP
- FDA-approved for OSA management
These appliances are comfortable and tailored to your bite for optimal effectiveness and comfort.
2. Custom Snore Guards
For patients who snore but do not have apnea, we offer simple snore guards that reduce airway obstruction caused by jaw or tongue position.
- Reduces or eliminates snoring
- Improves partner’s sleep as well as your own
- Easy to wear and clean
- Great for travel or night use without electricity
Snoring can be a sign of a deeper problem — we’ll evaluate whether it’s just a nuisance or something more serious.

We take impressions or digital scans of your teeth and jaw to create a custom device. - Delivery & Adjustment
Your oral appliance is adjusted for fit, comfort, and effectiveness. We’ll provide instructions and follow-up as needed. - Ongoing Monitoring

FAQs About Sleep Apnea & Snoring Solutions
Can a dentist really treat sleep apnea?
Yes — dentists trained in sleep apnea therapy can provide oral appliance treatment for mild to moderate cases or as an alternative to CPAP.
Is oral appliance therapy effective?
For the right patient, absolutely. Studies show oral appliances reduce apnea episodes and improve sleep quality in many patients.
Do snore guards stop sleep apnea?
No — they only reduce snoring. If you suspect apnea, a proper diagnosis is essential.
Will insurance cover a sleep apnea device?
Many medical plans cover oral appliance therapy for diagnosed OSA. We’ll help with paperwork and offer financing options if needed.
Is a custom device better than one from the store?
Yes — over-the-counter guards don’t provide the precision or comfort needed for effective apnea treatment or snoring relief.
