Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep Apnea Treatment
If you struggle with loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or frequent waking at night, you may have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects your breathing and overall health. At Pelican Dental, we provide sleep apnea treatments, including home sleep testing with MD diagnosis, NightLase laser therapy, and custom oral appliances to help you breathe easier and sleep better.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. These interruptions can occur dozens or even hundreds of times a night, leading to oxygen deprivation and disrupted sleep cycles.
Veneers: Porcelain and Direct Resin
Veneers can completely transform the look of your smile by covering discoloration, chips, gaps, and irregularly shaped teeth.
Common Signs of Sleep Apnea
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Gasping or choking sounds during sleep
- Daytime drowsiness and fatigue
- Morning headaches or dry mouth
- Difficulty concentrating or irritability
Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other serious health concerns.
Our Sleep Apnea Treatment Options
Sleep Testing with MD Diagnosis
We work closely with medical doctors to provide at-home sleep testing, allowing you to complete the test comfortably in your own bed. The results are reviewed and diagnosed by a licensed physician, ensuring accurate identification of sleep apnea severity and proper treatment planning.
NightLase Laser Therapy
NightLase is a non-invasive laser treatment that gently tightens and strengthens oral tissues, reducing airway collapse and snoring:
Custom Oral Appliance Therapy
For many patients, a custom-fitted oral appliance is a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP machines:
- Comfortable and Portable: Similar to a sports mouthguard, easy to wear nightly.
- Improves Airflow: Positions the lower jaw slightly forward to keep the airway open.
- Quiet Solution: No noise, no masks, and no tubes.
