Experience the Freedom of Peaceful, Restorative Sleep
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea occurs when your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, often due to a blocked airway. This interruption prevents you from getting the deep, restorative rest your body needs, leading to daytime fatigue and increasing your risk for other health issues.
Common Signs & Symptoms
If you experience any of the following, it may be time to get evaluated:
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Pauses in breathing during sleep (often noticed by a partner)
- Gasping or choking at night
- Morning headaches
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability or mood changes
Risk Factors for Sleep Apnea
While anyone can develop sleep apnea, certain factors increase your risk:
- Being overweight or obese
- Having a large neck circumference
- A family history of sleep apnea
- Being male (though women are also at risk, especially after menopause)
- Smoking
- Alcohol or sedative use before bed
- Nasal congestion or structural airway issues
Our Sleep Apnea Solutions
We understand that every patient’s needs are unique, which is why we provide personalized treatment options:
Custom Oral Appliances
We design custom-fitted oral appliances that gently reposition your jaw to keep your airway open during sleep. They’re comfortable, portable, and an effective alternative for many patients who can’t tolerate CPAP therapy.
- Keep your airway open naturally without machines or noise
- Fit comfortably for uninterrupted, restful sleep
- Easy to travel with and simple to use nightly
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
For more severe cases, we can coordinate CPAP therapy, which delivers a gentle stream of air through a mask to keep your airway open.
- Provides effective treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea
- Improves oxygen flow and sleep quality overnight
- Reduces daytime fatigue and long-term health risks
