Sleep Apnea Therapy

Sleep apnea therapy is primarily centered on the use of CPAP therapy. If you suffer from such an obstructive sleeping disorder, do not go one day longer risking your health. Be proactive by reaching out to our dental practice at (808) 674-9299 to determine if you have sleep apnea and whether CPAP therapy or another solution will help. The dentist starts out by performing an assessment and asking questions to determine if you might be a sleep apnea sufferer. If necessary, a screening with a sleep dentistry provider will be scheduled.

The dentist will determine if you have sleep apnea and analyze your unique mouth, teeth and gums to determine the best treatment approach. Most sleep apnea patients are prescribed an appliance designed to enhance oral functionality while sleeping. CPAP appliances keep the airway open while sleeping so air can flow without obstruction. The dentist will help fit the appliance you use, ensuring it makes the intended impact. Rely on your dentist for appliance maintenance along with follow up visits and you will rest easy knowing you have done your part to treat your sleep apnea and wake fully rested.
