Do you wake up in the morning feeling less than rested? Does your sleeping partner often tell you that your snoring and gasping for air throughout the night is not only affecting the quality of their sleep but raising concerns about your health? Do you suspect that you may be experiencing sleep apnea but are hesitant to treat the condition with a cumbersome and uncomfortable face mask attached to a breathing machine?

If you answered “yes” to even one of the above questions, you’d be pleased to read that Dr. Alexander and her team at Alexander Family Dental can provide sleep apnea treatment near you with the ease of an obstructive sleep apnea mouthguard.

Good News in Sleep Apnea Treatment Near You

The American Sleep Association reports that dental appliances such as an obstructive sleep apnea mouthguard are becoming more common and efficient as a treatment for sleeping disorders. Not only are they more cost-effective than CPAP machines, but they are more discreet and convenient. Plus, because they do not require electricity like a CPAP machine, your customized sleep apnea treatment from Dr. Alexander will be more energy efficient.

Another benefit of a mouth guard for sleep apnea treatment from Dr. Alexander is that you will receive personalized one-on-one care, unlike over-the-counter (OTC) treatments that often over-promise and under-deliver. Plus, should any adjustments need to be made during your mouthguard sleep apnea treatment, you have the comfort of knowing that our dentist in Queen Creek, AZ, is only a phone call or a short drive away.

If you’ve tried online or OTC sleep apnea mouthguards in the past but have not had success, we encourage you to make an appointment with Alexander Family Dental to experience the difference that personalized care provides. Not only is a better night’s sleep a benefit of professional mouthguard sleep apnea treatment, but the many other benefits of effective treatment such as increased energy and weight loss are only a phone call away!

FAQ's

What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is basically a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This can cause interruptions in your sleep cycle, thus leading to poor sleep quality, fatigue, and other health problems. There are two major types: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused due to a blockage in the airway, and central sleep apnea, which takes place when the brain doesn’t send adequate signals to the muscles that control breathing.
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Common signs of sleep apnea include loud snoring, choking or gasping for air during sleep, extreme daytime sleepiness, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and dry mouth or sore throat upon waking. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to see your dentist or doctor for an evaluation.
How can dental treatment help with sleep apnea?
At Alexander Family Dental, we offer oral appliance therapy to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This involves wearing a custom-fitted device that repositions your lower jaw and tongue in order to keep your airway open while you sleep. It’s a non-invasive alternative to traditional CPAP therapy for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
What is an oral appliance for sleep apnea?
An oral appliance is a lab made device that you wear during sleep. It works by carefully repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway clear, allowing you to breathe properly throughout the night. It’s a discreet and effective treatment for people who cannot tolerate CPAP machines.
Is oral appliance therapy effective for sleep apnea?
Yes, oral appliance therapy is a highly effective treatment for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. A lot of patients experience significant improvements in sleep quality, reduced snoring, and less daytime fatigue. It is a well-accepted treatment option, especially for those who find CPAP machines uncomfortable.
How do I get an oral appliance for sleep apnea?
To get an oral appliance, you’ll first have a consultation with us at Alexander Family Dental. We will conduct a complete examination to determine the severity of your sleep apnea. Then, we’ll create a custom-fitted appliance designed to meet your specific needs and improve your sleep.
Are there any side effects of using an oral appliance for sleep apnea?
Some people may experience mild side effects, such as a dry mouth, jaw discomfort, or tooth sensitivity, especially when first using the appliance. These side effects are usually temporary and can be adjusted as you become accustomed to wearing the device. If you have concerns, we can make adjustments to the appliance for your comfort.
Can sleep apnea be cured?
While sleep apnea may not be fully "cured", it can be effectively managed with treatment. Oral appliance therapy, lifestyle changes, weight management, and sometimes surgery can help control the symptoms and improve your quality of life.
How long do I need to wear the oral appliance?
Oral appliances are typically worn every night to manage sleep apnea effectively. Many patients wear the appliance for years, as it continues to help improve sleep quality and lessen the health risks associated with sleep apnea. We’ll monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed during follow-up visits.
Is sleep apnea treatment covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea, especially if it’s recommended as an alternative to CPAP therapy. Coverage can vary, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider. At Alexander Family Dental, we can help verify your benefits and assist with the claims process to ensure you get the care you need.
