FAQs
What is sleep apnea, and how do I know if I have it?
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, often causing loud snoring, fatigue, and morning headaches. If you experience these symptoms or have been told you stop breathing at night, you might have sleep apnea. A sleep study can confirm the diagnosis.
How does a dental appliance help with sleep apnea?
Dental appliances work by repositioning your lower jaw and tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep. This reduces obstructed breathing episodes and improves sleep quality. They’re a convenient alternative to CPAP machines for many patients.
Is the treatment covered by insurance?
Many dental sleep apnea treatments are covered by medical insurance plans, as sleep apnea is a medical condition. Our team can help verify your benefits and guide you through the insurance process.
How long does it take to get used to wearing an oral appliance?
Most patients adapt within a few days to a couple of weeks. We provide follow-up care to adjust the fit and ensure comfort, making the transition as smooth as possible.
Can I use a dental appliance if I wear dentures?
Typically, dental sleep appliances require natural teeth for retention. However, we can evaluate your specific situation and discuss alternative options if you wear dentures.
