SLEEP
APNEA TREATMENT PROGRAM
We all know someone who snores, but did you know
that up to 75% of the population suffers from some level
of sleep interruption? Snoring is the sound produced when
tissue partially blocking our airway vibrates, causing
sound. Symptoms of poor sleep hygiene can include increased
weight or obesity, diabetes, depression and cardiac problems,
as well as social issues and daytime fatigue.
Alpha Dental Care now offers take home sleep studies done
in the comfort of your own bedroom at your convenience.
Once you take our easy overnight study your results are
analyzed by a medical Doctor and a diagnosis is reached.
Alpha Dental Care can then treat mild to moderate sleep
apnea and snoring here in our office by making a small,
customized oral appliance which is worn at night.
CPAPs (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machines) are
considered to be the gold standard of treatment for severe
sleep apnea sufferers. However, not everyone is able or
willing to tolerate long-term use of a CPAP. Although Alpha
Dental Care strongly advocates CPAP as the best method
of treatment for severe sleep apnea, we are able to make
appliances for severe sufferers who find the CPAP unusable.
These custom appliances reduce discomfort, improve sleep
and snoring and increase general health and quality of
life immediately and long term.
If you or someone you love is suffering, please consider
a free sleep study consultation at Alpha Dental Care. Imagine
enjoying nights of peace and silence, and mornings of waking
up refreshed, in better health overall and ready for life!
