Better Sleep Means Better Health
Sleep Apnea Treatment
IMPROVE YOUR LIFE WITH OUR SLEEP APNEA SOLUTIONS
Sleep apnea treatment at Artisan Dental’s Burke, VA and Chevy Chase, MD offices offers patients a comfortable, CPAP-free alternative for managing obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring.
We provide custom-fitted oral appliances small, removable devices worn during sleep that gently reposition the jaw to keep the airway open and prevent the breathing interruptions that characterize sleep apnea.
If you have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or if you are unable to tolerate CPAP therapy, an oral appliance from our Burke or Chevy Chase team may be an effective and life-improving solution. We work in coordination with your sleep physician when a formal diagnosis is involved.
EFFECTS OF SLEEP APNEA ON ORAL & OVERALL HEALTH
When your tongue and soft palate relax into the airway, it hinders the free flow of your breath. This can lead you to wake up feeling exhausted and fatigued throughout your day. Not only that, but it can also contribute to heart disease, diabetes, and other long-term health risks if not addressed.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, dry mouth, difficulty staying asleep, or gasping for breath in the middle of the night, it is essential to seek treatment for sleep apnea. Don’t let this condition compromise your health and quality of life.
SLEEP APNEA TREATMENT & PROCESS
At our dental office, we prioritize your health and wellness, which is why we offer comprehensive screening and a home sleep study for diagnosis.
For patients diagnosed with sleep apnea, we can then create a custom oral appliance (with the referral of a physician) that prevents your tongue from blocking your airway during sleep. This non-invasive option is an excellent alternative to a CPAP machine and can be especially beneficial for those who find it difficult to tolerate the machine.
