Sleep Apnea Therapy
in Trophy Club, TX

Most people would agree that it can be annoying when your bed partner snores every night. However, it can do more than interfere with your quality of rest; it may be a symptom of a serious sleep disorder called sleep apnea.

What is sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form of the disorder, occurs when tissues in the throat collapse and block the airway during sleep hours. The brain sends an urgent signal to the body due to lack of oxygen, forcing you to wake up and breathe. Even if you don’t remember these instances of waking, they can happen dozens of times a night. They can leave you unable to reach the deep, restful stages of sleep, feeling exhausted the next day.

What are some symptoms of sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious sleep disorder characterized by shallow or paused breathing throughout the night. Common symptoms associated with OSA include:

Nocturnal choking or gasping
Loud and irregular snoring
Observed apneas (pauses in breathing) during sleep
Dry mouth
Headaches when waking

Why should I seek treatment for my sleep apnea?

A robust body of research has consistently demonstrated an association between sleep apnea and serious health problems such as type 2 diabetes, strokes, heart attacks, and a heightened risk of mortality. Studies have shown that these complications may be related to the body's inability to absorb oxygen while sleeping, causing lasting physiological damage.

It is therefore important for individuals with sleep apnea to seek treatment without delay in order to mitigate any potential long-term health impacts. It is important to focus on the overall pattern associated with the intensity and duration of any individual symptom to correctly diagnose the condition, and an evaluation by a medical professional is necessary.

How is sleep apnea treated?

Traditional sleep apnea treatment involves a CPAP machine, which keeps the airway open by constantly blowing air through a mask worn over the nose and mouth. This treatment is cumbersome, which is why we offer oral appliance therapy as a more convenient alternative.

We can craft a personalized tray that fits over your teeth and gently shifts your lower jaw forward, keeping your airway open at night and making it easier to breathe. These appliances are designed to be comfortable and non-intrusive.

Why should I see my dentist for sleep apnea?

Seeing a dentist for sleep apnea can be a life-changing experience.

Many oral appliance treatments are available, provided in partnership with primary care physicians and sleep specialists as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Our Trophy Club dentist can evaluate and maintain a patient’s dental health while fitting them with properly sized and maintained oral appliances, for optimal long-term care for those suffering from OSA. By attending regular dental visits and proper maintenance of your oral appliances, you can ensure an improved quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea Treatment

Can a dentist treat sleep apnea?

Yes. Dentists who have received training in sleep medicine can provide oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. At Complete Dentistry in Trophy Club, our team partners with Sleep Architects, a sleep apnea therapy program, to evaluate your condition and create a custom oral appliance that gently repositions your lower jaw to keep your airway open during sleep. Treatment is coordinated with your physician or sleep specialist for comprehensive care.

What is an oral appliance for sleep apnea?

An oral appliance is a custom-fitted tray that fits over your teeth and gently shifts your lower jaw forward while you sleep. This repositioning helps keep your airway open, reducing snoring and the breathing interruptions associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Patients at our Trophy Club office find oral appliances comfortable, portable, quiet, and easy to maintain compared to a CPAP machine.

Is a dental sleep apnea device covered by insurance?

Many medical insurance plans cover oral appliance therapy for diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. Coverage typically requires a formal sleep study and a diagnosis from a physician. Our team at Complete Dentistry can help you navigate the insurance process and determine your benefits. We also offer financing through Proceed Finance, CareCredit, and Sunbit for any out-of-pocket costs.

What is the difference between a CPAP and a dental appliance for sleep apnea?

A CPAP machine delivers continuous air pressure through a mask worn over the nose and mouth to keep the airway open during sleep. It is effective but can be cumbersome, noisy, and difficult for some patients to tolerate. A dental oral appliance is a smaller, quieter alternative that fits in your mouth like a mouthguard and works by repositioning the jaw. Many patients at Complete Dentistry prefer the oral appliance for its comfort, portability, and ease of use.
