Sleep apnea is a serious sleep-related disorder that affects the way that you breathe at night. During sleep apnea, the soft tissues at the back of the throat relax and cover the upper airway. This causes short pauses to your breathing while you sleep, which then causes you to wake up multiple times throughout the night. Sleep apnea can cause restlessness, exhaustion and has even been linked to other health disorders.
The process begins with impressions that are used to make your new sleep apnea oral device. We then fit you with this device to ensure that it fits well. Once the fit is perfect, you’ll be instructed on how to place and remove the device each night. In order for the device to work effectively, it has to be worn every time that you sleep.
This device works by opening up the upper airway, which makes it easier for you to breathe during the night. You should remove the appliance each morning and clean it thoroughly to remove bacteria and odors. If you are suffering from sleep apnea and want to learn more about treatment, call us today to speak with one of our friendly team members.
If you fail to treat your sleep apnea, you’ll notice that your quality of life suffers. You may not have the energy to do what you want or need to do, which can have a severe impact on your relationships and career. Because sleep apnea can cause other health problems to develop, it is important to treat it as soon as possible. Thankfully, we use a simple oral device to treat sleep apnea, which can be more comfortable than wearing a large CPAP machine.
Most patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea can benefit from the type of oral device that we use to treat the condition. To determine if you would benefit from this treatment, we’ll review your health and medical history as well as any sleep study tests that you’ve had done in the past. With this knowledge, we will be able to determine if you would benefit from this type of treatment.
We take immense pride in providing exceptional dental care, and nothing brings us more joy than hearing from those whose lives we've touched. Read reviews and testimonials featuring our patients.
More ReviewsAfter going to the same dentist for 50 years I was faced with finding a new one. I am very happy I found Dr Patel. I’ve had a few fillings done and also a couple of teeth replaced and I couldn’t be happier.
I never thought I would look forward to getting my teeth cleaned until I found Brentwood Orchard Dentistry! The receptionists are very welcoming and the dental hygienist is wonderful.
Dr. Patel and his staff are very professional and kind. He takes the time to make sure all work is done perfectly and as painless as possible. The staff in the front are also great!
Can’t thank the staff enough for the care and compassion they show to both my kids , both of whom have special needs and require extra support and assistance. Without y’all my family would be in such a different place.
Dr. Patel, and his staff ARE amazing. I have been going to Orchard Dental for several years now. Today I had to go in and get some fillings replaced, I was very nervous from previous dental experiences.
