Breathe Easier, Sleep Better, Live Healthier
Sleep Apnea Treatment at Luxe Dental Arts
Sleep apnea is more than just snoring—it’s a serious sleep disorder that interrupts rest, reduces energy, and impacts overall health. At Luxe Dental Arts, we offer advanced, personalized treatments to help you breathe easier and enjoy restorative sleep.
If you experience loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or other symptoms of sleep apnea, our team will assess the underlying cause and provide effective, long-term solutions for relief.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These interruptions can occur dozens or even hundreds of times, preventing the deep, restorative sleep your body needs.
There are two primary types of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Occurs when the airway is physically blocked, often due to relaxed throat muscles or excess soft tissue.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): A less common type in which the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
Common symptoms include:
- Loud or frequent snoring
- Choking or gasping during sleep
- Waking up with headaches
- Persistent daytime fatigue or drowsiness
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
- Irritability, mood swings, or feelings of depression
If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other potentially life-threatening conditions.
The Importance of a Healthy Airway
At Luxe Dental Arts, we go beyond treating symptoms—we take an airway-focused approach to dentistry, addressing sleep apnea at its root.
Your airway encompasses the nose, mouth, throat, and surrounding structures. If any part becomes obstructed, narrow, or misaligned, airflow during sleep can be disrupted. Keeping your airway clear and properly aligned is key to long-term relief from sleep-related breathing problems.
We evaluate:
- Narrow dental arches or crowded teeth
- Tongue position and alignment of soft tissues
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
- Nasal obstructions or chronic allergies
- Jaw development, alignment, and oral posture
By pinpointing these structural issues, we can create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, offering more effective and long-lasting solutions.
Our Trusted Approach to Achieving Better Sleep
1.
Comprehensive Consultation and Advanced Imaging
We begin with an in-depth consultation that includes high-resolution digital imaging and a 3D CBCT scan, providing an accurate and detailed view of your airway and oral structures.
2.
Home Sleep Study
Using a comfortable, wearable ring sensor, you can complete a sleep study in the comfort of your home. This easy, convenient test delivers precise insights into your breathing patterns and overall sleep quality.
3.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Once your results are reviewed, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This could involve a dental sleep appliance, airway development strategies, or individualized lifestyle recommendations to promote healthier breathing and restorative sleep.
4.
Comfortable Alternatives to CPAP
If CPAP therapy isn’t suitable, we provide custom mandibular advancement devices (MADs) that gently reposition the lower jaw to keep your airway open overnight. These small, quiet, and comfortable oral appliances are ideal for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or chronic snoring.
