Improve Your Breathing, Sleep, and Overall Health
Sleep Apnea Relief at Luxe Dental Arts
Sleep apnea is more than just snoring—it’s a serious condition that disrupts restful sleep, drains your energy, and affects your overall health. At Luxe Dental Arts, we provide advanced, personalized treatments to help you breathe more easily and enjoy restorative sleep.
If you experience loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or other signs of sleep apnea, our team will determine the underlying cause and offer effective, long-term solutions.
What You Need to Know About Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These interruptions can occur many times throughout the night, preventing the deep, restorative rest your body needs.
There are two main types of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Happens when the airway is physically blocked, often due to relaxed throat muscles or excess soft tissue.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): A less common form that occurs when the brain does not send the correct signals to the muscles that control breathing.
Common symptoms include:
- Loud, persistent snoring
- Gasping or choking sensations while sleeping
- Morning headaches
- Excessive daytime fatigue or sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating or memory issues
- Mood swings, irritability, or signs of depression
If left untreated, sleep apnea can raise your risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other serious health complications.
Why Maintaining a Healthy Airway Matters
At Luxe Dental Arts, we focus on an airway-centered approach to dentistry, targeting sleep apnea at its root cause rather than just treating symptoms.
Your airway comprises the nose, mouth, throat, and surrounding structures. When any part of this system is narrowed, blocked, or misaligned, airflow during sleep is restricted. Ensuring proper airway health is essential for long-term relief from sleep-related breathing problems.
We assess for:
- Narrow dental arches or crowded teeth
- Tongue position and soft tissue alignment
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
- Nasal obstructions or chronic allergies
- Jaw development, alignment, and oral posture
By identifying these structural factors, we can develop a personalized treatment plan that effectively addresses your unique needs.
Our Proven Approach to Improving Sleep
1.
Comprehensive Consultation and Advanced Imaging
We start with a detailed consultation that includes a 3D CBCT scan and digital imaging to thoroughly assess your airway and oral structures.
2.
Home Sleep Study
Using a comfortable, wearable ring sensor, you can complete a sleep study from home. This convenient test provides accurate, real-world information about your sleep quality and breathing patterns.
3.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your results, we develop a customized plan that may include a dental sleep appliance, airway development techniques, or tailored lifestyle recommendations to support better breathing and more restorative sleep.

Comfortable Alternatives to CPAP
If a CPAP machine isn’t suitable for you, we offer custom mandibular advancement devices (MADs) that gently move the lower jaw forward to keep your airway open while sleeping. These small, quiet, and comfortable oral appliances are ideal for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or chronic snoring.
