Understanding Sleep Apnea: Symptoms and Impact

Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where the muscles in the throat relax excessively, causing a temporary blockage of the airway. This results in decreased oxygen levels in the blood and can lead to a range of health issues, including fatigue, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart disease.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, choking or gasping during sleep, restless nights, difficulty staying asleep / insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty focusing during the day or while driving, and irritability. If left untreated, sleep apnea can have serious consequences for your overall health and well-being.

How Oral Appliance Therapy Works

Consultation

We begin with a sleep apnea consultation with Dr. Allen Ewell at Dentistry of Arizona in Surprise. We will evaluate risk factors, perform non-invasive and simple tests on your airway, and set up an at-home sleep study. This process is covered by medical insurance.

At-Home Sleep Study

We will arrange for an at-home sleep study where we will determine your degree of sleep apnea, where the obstruction is happening in your airway, and how to best design an appliance that will ensure continuous oxygen while you sleep.

Create a Custom Oral Sleep Appliance

Using information from your consultation and sleep study, we will take impressions or scans to make your custom appliance.

Follow-Up Care

We will see you periodically to make sure your appliance is comfortable and is resolving your sleep apnea.

Unlike a CPAP, a custom oral appliance is small, silent, and fits within the mouth. Consistent use of the appliance improves sleep quality and overall health–no more snoring, more energy to focus at work, more stamina to do the things you need and want to do, and no longer catching yourself falling asleep driving. Treatment also reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes complications, dementia, and Alzheimer's.
