Sleep apnea treatment at Surf City Dental is designed to provide safe and comfortable sleep. We have partnered with Breathe Easy Spa to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea and snoring through the use of night guards and snore guards. Remember, snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea but not always an indication that you have the condition.
Appliance Therapy Solutions with Your Surf City Dentist
Many patients can’t acclimate to the CPAP machine, the most common sleep apnea treatment. This machine is cumbersome and can be disruptive as well as uncomfortable.
Fortunately, some patients do well with appliance therapy. This can mean a snore guard to promote an open airway during the night. The guard gently separates the upper and lower jaw at the back of the mouth, preventing airway collapse, which is the hallmark of obstructive sleep apnea.
Your dentist will evaluate your case to determine whether appliance therapy Is the solution.
Sometimes, patients continue with their CPAP device but use their oral appliance for more accessible travel.
