Sleep Apnea Treatment at We Smile Dentistry

Call We Smile Dentistry about sleep apnea treatment today!

If you snore loudly, wake up feeling unrefreshed, or have been told that you stop breathing during sleep, you may be experiencing symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). At We Smile Dentistry, our general dentist provides oral appliance therapy as part of a collaborative approach to managing diagnosed sleep apnea.

How Dental Sleep Appliances Work

Oral appliance therapy uses a custom-made device worn during sleep to help keep the airway open. These appliances gently reposition the lower jaw or tongue, reducing airway collapse and improving airflow. Studies show that oral appliances can be an appropriate option for many people with mild to moderate OSA, and for those with severe OSA who cannot tolerate CPAP.

Oral appliances are designed to be:

• Removable
• Portable
• Quiet
• Designed to fit the patient’s mouth and bite
• Adjustable under professional supervision

Sleep Apnea Treatment at We Smile Dentistry

1. Screening and Discussion

We begin with a review of your symptoms, sleep history, and medical background. If you have already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, we will review your sleep study results.

2. Medical Collaboration

Sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a physician or sleep specialist. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our general dentist will determine whether a dental sleep appliance may be suitable.

3. Fitting and Adjustment

Once your device arrives, we show you how to insert, remove, and care for it. We also gradually adjust the appliance over time to find a balanced position that supports airflow while maintaining comfort.

5. Follow-Up Monitoring

Ongoing appointments allow us to monitor your symptoms, evaluate your jaw joint and bite, and make further adjustments. Many patients return for periodic evaluations to ensure continued effectiveness.
