SLEEP APNEA

While sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a medical doctor, we are able to provide expert treatment for your sleep apnea. We accomplish this by using modern oral appliances, which are similar to a retainer or mouth guard and keeps your airway open while you sleep.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a medical condition that causes the patient to stop breathing during sleep due to obstructions in the airway. Because this results in a decreased supply of oxygen to the body, it can be potentially life threatening. Once diagnosed, we can help treat your sleep apnea.
