Why should I choose Sleep Apnea Treatment?

In the short term, sleep apnea can cause drowsiness and poor quality sleep. And in the long run, it can raise your risk of life-threatening conditions like heart attacks or strokes. Getting treatment means you’ll be able to breathe properly, sleep easily, and take control of your health.

Sleep Appliances

We offer a variety of oral sleep appliances to suit a variety of needs. During your consultation, we will find out what type of appliance will work best for your unique case.

Custom Night Guards For Better, Healthier Sleep

Dealing with minor sleep apnea? A custom oral appliance can move your jaw into a healthier position for less snoring and more sleeping.

At-Home Sleep Testing

Has a loved one told you that you have a snoring problem? Or maybe you feel groggy and tired even after a full-night's sleep? We offer at-home sleep testing to help uncover if sleep apnea could be causing you to miss out on much-needed rest.

Medical Insurance Billing

Because sleep apnea is not just an oral health concern, we can submit claims to your medical insurance if sleep apnea treatment is covered on your plan.

Network of Local Specialists

We work with a network of local providers, including pulmonologists, cardiologists, and ENT (ear, nose & throat) specialists, to help treat and diagnose patients with sleep apnea.

The Benefits of Sleep Apnea Treatment

Get Proper Sleep

Without treatment, low-quality sleep can cause things like irritability, problems focusing, or even drowsiness when driving. But with proper sleep apnea treatment, you’ll be able to sleep properly again. You’ll feel rested after just 7-8 hours of sleep.

Improve Your Health

Sleep apnea treatment helps reduce your risk of health conditions like headaches, diabetes, heart attack and stroke, and more. You’ll be able to breathe properly and without interruptions at night, which is great for your overall health.

Feel More Energetic

Sleep apnea treatment helps you feel more energetic and get through the day more easily. It will be easier to do things like exercise and lose weight. Proper treatment may also help restore your libido and improve intimacy, since sleep apnea is often associated with low sex drive.

The Sleep Apnea Treatment Process

Sleep Test And Diagnosis

First, you'll need to see a sleep specialist for a diagnosis. You may undergo a sleep study, which can be done either at home or in a special lab.

Treatment Discussion

Depending on your condition, your treatment recommendations may differ. Patients with minor apnea may just need an oral sleep appliance from a dentist, while those with more serious apnea may need treatment like a CPAP, or sometimes surgery to correct the jaw position. Your Leitchfield dentist will make the appropriate recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.

How Does Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) Work?

Oral Appliance Therapy, or OAT for short, uses a special mouthguard. This mouthguard changes the position of your jaw when you sleep, which prevents oral tissue from sagging into your airway. This means that your breathing won’t be interrupted at night. OAT is ideal for patients with minor-to-moderate apnea.

What Else Can I Do To Treat Sleep Apnea?

Your sleep specialist and your dentist may make some lifestyle recommendations to help with sleep apnea. These may include quitting smoking, exercising, losing weight, avoiding drugs and alcohol (especially before bed), and sleeping on your side, rather than on your back or your stomach.

What Is A CPAP?

CPAP is short for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This is a type of machine that pumps a steady, gentle stream of pressurized air into your airway through a face mask. This stream prevents your airway tissue from collapsing, which prevents sleep apnea. CPAPs are usually recommended for patients with more severe apnea.
