If you've been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea but struggle to tolerate your CPAP equipment, we can help! Research shows that oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment for both snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. This device is worn only during sleep to help keep your airway open.

​

We can request a copy of your sleep study and consult with your sleep physician to determine if an oral appliance is the right solution for you.

​

If you're experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, mood changes, morning headaches, dry mouth, nighttime sweating, frequent bathroom trips, or if your partner has observed episodes of halted breathing or sudden awakenings, you may be suffering from sleep apnea. We offer a digital questionnaire to screen for this condition and can coordinate your care with the appropriate sleep physician, discussing the different treatment options available to you. Successful treatment of sleep apnea can significantly improve your quality of life!

​

Obstructive sleep apnea doesn’t just affect adults; children can also suffer from this condition, which may manifest as difficulty concentrating or behavioral issues. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications that can impact growth, behavior, or cognitive development. We can evaluate the size of the tonsils, adenoids, arch width, and available space for the tongue, all of which may indicate potential sleep apnea in children.

All of our doctors at Richmond Landing Family Dentistry are trained to treat sleep apnea. If diagnosed, oral appliance therapy may be covered by your medical insurance. Just call our office today and we would be happy to help.
