Sleep apnea can affect more than just your sleep. It can impact your energy, focus, mood, and long-term health.
At Land O’ Lakes Dental Care, Dr. Sandra Aljure-Estrada offers dental solutions designed to help patients manage sleep apnea comfortably and effectively. Our goal is to support healthier sleep using personalized, non-invasive treatment options that fit seamlessly into your life.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in airflow during sleep. These pauses can happen dozens of times per hour, often without the person realizing it, preventing the body from getting the oxygen it needs.
Over time, untreated sleep apnea can contribute to daytime fatigue, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and increased risk of conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease. Fortunately, many cases can be managed with custom dental appliances designed to keep the airway open during sleep.
How Dental Sleep Apnea Treatment Can Help.
For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy can be an effective alternative to traditional treatments like CPAP machines. These custom devices gently reposition the jaw to maintain proper airflow throughout the night.
Dental sleep appliances are designed with comfort and convenience in mind, making them easier to wear consistently and integrate into your nightly routine.
Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy.
Patients who use dental sleep apnea appliances often experience:
- Improved sleep quality and fewer nighttime disruptions
- Reduced snoring for both patients and their partners
- Increased daytime energy and mental clarity
- A comfortable, portable alternative to bulky equipment
- Custom-fit treatment designed around your specific needs
Is Sleep Apnea Treatment Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for dental sleep apnea treatment if you snore loudly, wake up feeling tired, or have been diagnosed with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Patients who struggle with CPAP compliance or prefer a less invasive option often find oral appliances to be a practical and effective solution. Dr. Aljure-Estrada works closely with patients and, when needed, their sleep physicians to ensure safe, coordinated care.
What to Expect From Treatment.
Your treatment begins with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, sleep history, and airway health. If oral appliance therapy is recommended, a custom device is created to fit your mouth comfortably and precisely.
Once your appliance is ready, we’ll ensure it fits properly and provide guidance on use and care. Follow-up visits allow us to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to support long-term success.
