Sleep Apnea
Treatment

Lack of oxygen and lack of sleep can have serious ramifications on your health, as well as your day-to-day quality of living. Patients with sleep apnea often report excessive daytime drowsiness, inability to concentrate, and short tempers. Fortunately, treatment for sleep apnea has simplified over the years, allowing dentists to provide a safe, effective, and comfortable alternative to the traditional CPAP machine.

Blocked
Airways

Loud snorers can bear the brunt of bad jokes, but in reality snoring is no laughing matter. In some cases, snoring can signify blocked airways – a condition known as obstructive sleep apnea. As the air forces its way through, it creates noisy vibrations, but for patients with sleep apnea, the air may not be getting through at all.

What is a
CPAP?

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure better known as a cpap machine, delivers a constant flow of pressurized air and keeps the throat from collapsing. Although this treatment is effective, many patients find the machine cumbersome and intolerable. In fact, 70% discontinue using a CPAP machine.

Oral Appliance
Therapy

An alternative to the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine, an oral appliance can open airways, hold the jaw forward, prevent snoring, and allow air to flow easily. Commack Hills Dental Group can custom-fit an oral appliance that forms to the contours of your mouth for maximum comfort and efficiency. Relief from sleep- and oxygen-deprivation can begin immediately – the first night you wear the appliance.

Advantages of Sleep Apnea Treatment

  • Daytime Alertness

    Sleepiness and daytime fatigue are common symptoms of sleep apnea. Oral Appliance Therapy can restore your normal sleep pattern and increase your total sleep time by eliminating breathing pauses in your sleep. This will help you wake up feeling more refreshed and boost your energy throughout the day.

  • Concentration

    Untreated, severe sleep apnea can damage your brain tissue. As a result you may have trouble concentrating. You also may suffer from memory loss. Oral Appliance Therapy may improve your ability to think, concentrate and make decisions. This also can improve your productivity and decrease your chance of making a costly mistake at work.

  • Emotional Stability

    Untreated sleep apnea increases your risk of depression. Oral Appliance Therapy can help improve your mood, reduce your risk of depression and improve your overall quality of life.

Sleep Apnea has been linked to serious conditions, such as:

  • Memory loss
  • High blood pressure
  • Depression
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Premature death
