Sleep Apnea Care at Luxe Dental Arts
Sleep apnea is more than snoring—it’s a serious sleep disorder that interrupts rest, saps energy, and impacts overall health. At Luxe Dental Arts, we offer advanced, personalized treatments designed to help you breathe easier and enjoy restorative, uninterrupted sleep.
If you notice loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or other symptoms of sleep apnea, our team will assess the underlying cause and provide effective, long-term solutions for lasting relief.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These pauses can occur dozens or even hundreds of times each night, preventing the deep, restorative rest your body requires.
The two primary types of sleep apnea are:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Results from a physical blockage of the airway, often caused by relaxed throat muscles or excess soft tissue.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): A less common type that happens when 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
- Ongoing daytime fatigue or sleepiness
- Problems with focus or memory
- Irritability, mood changes, or feelings of depression
If left untreated, sleep apnea can cause 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 address more than just the symptoms by taking an airway-focused approach to dentistry, targeting sleep apnea at its source.
Your airway encompasses the nose, mouth, throat, and surrounding structures. When any part of this system is obstructed, narrowed, or misaligned, airflow during sleep can be disrupted. Keeping your airway clear and properly aligned is crucial for long-term relief from sleep-related breathing problems.
We evaluate:
- Narrow dental arches or crowded teeth
- Tongue position and soft tissue alignment
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
- Nasal blockages 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 lasting solutions.
Our Reliable Path to Restful Sleep
1.
Comprehensive Consultation and Advanced Imaging
We start with a thorough consultation, including a 3D CBCT scan and high-resolution digital imaging, providing a precise view of your airway and oral structures.
2.
Home Sleep Study
Using a comfortable, wearable ring sensor, you can complete a sleep study in your own home. This convenient test offers accurate, real-world insights into your breathing patterns and overall sleep quality.
3.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Once we review your results, we create a customized treatment plan designed specifically for you. Options may include a dental sleep appliance, airway development techniques, or tailored lifestyle recommendations to support healthier breathing and deeper, restorative sleep.
4.
Comfortable Alternatives to CPAP
If CPAP isn’t suitable, we provide custom mandibular advancement devices (MADs) that gently reposition the lower jaw to keep the airway open during the night. These small, quiet, and comfortable oral appliances are ideal for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or persistent snoring.

Regular follow-up appointments allow us to track your improvement and make any necessary adjustments. Your comfort, health, and long-term success remain our top priorities.
