Soothing our Patients into Better Sleep
Treating Sleep Apnea and Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Sleep apnea affects more than just your sleep—it can have serious long-term effects on your health, contributing to heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and more. Fortunately, there are non-invasive treatments available that can provide relief. Our team at Harman-Tinnel Complete Family Dentistry works closely with patients to develop personalized solutions, including oral appliance therapy designed to keep your airway open while you sleep. At Harman-Tinnel Complete Family Dentistry, we offer the below services to help our patients combat their struggles with sleep apnea:
- Oral Appliance Therapy: A custom-made device, similar to a mouthguard, that repositions the jaw to prevent airway blockage during sleep. This is a comfortable and effective option for mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea.
- Collaboration with Sleep Specialists: We work alongside your physician or sleep specialist to ensure a coordinated treatment plan that addresses all aspects of your sleep health.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: During your consultation, we will evaluate your airway, bite, and overall oral health to determine the best course of action for your sleep apnea treatment.
If you or someone you know is struggling with sleep apnea, don’t wait to seek treatment. Schedule a consultation with HTCFD today and learn how we can help you get the restful, healthy sleep you deserve.
