Comfortable Oral Appliance Therapy at Corona Prime Dental
At Corona Prime Dental, we provide dental solutions to help patients manage sleep apnea, a serious sleep disorder that affects breathing during sleep. Untreated sleep apnea can impact both rest and overall wellness, often leading to fatigue and disrupted sleep patterns.
For many patients, oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to traditional CPAP machines. Our goal is to help you breathe easier and enjoy more restful sleep.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when the airway becomes blocked due to relaxed throat muscles.
Common symptoms include:
- Loud or chronic snoring
- Pauses in breathing during sleep
- Gasping or choking sounds at night
- Excessive daytime fatigue
- Morning headaches
- Difficulty concentrating
A proper diagnosis from a physician or sleep specialist is required before treatment.
How Oral Appliance Therapy Helps
Oral appliances are custom-made devices worn during sleep. They gently reposition the jaw and tongue to help keep the airway open throughout the night.
Dental oral appliances are:
- Custom-fitted for comfort
- Easy to wear and maintain
- Portable and travel-friendly
- Quiet and non-invasive
Our dentist will evaluate your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate solution for your needs.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Sleep Apnea Treatment?
Oral appliance therapy may be recommended for:
- Patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
- Individuals who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy
- Patients seeking an alternative sleep solution
- Those experiencing snoring related to airway obstruction
A consultation and review of your sleep study results help determine candidacy.
