Snoring & Sleep Apnea

Regain control of your sleep and life with effective, non-invasive solutions for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Custom Oral Appliance Therapy for Restorative Sleep

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) occurs when the airway becomes blocked by relaxing soft tissues, leading to disrupted breathing and chronic fatigue. At Stonehaven Dental, Dr. Timothy Matthews offers a sophisticated alternative to bulky CPAP machines and invasive surgery. Our custom-fitted oral appliances work like a specialized retainer, gently positioning the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open throughout the night. This simple yet effective solution allows for natural breathing, eliminating the need for masks or hoses while protecting your long-term health from risks like hypertension and heart disease.

By significantly reducing snoring and breathing interruptions, you and your partner can enjoy quieter, more restful nights and wake up feeling truly refreshed.

Travel-Friendly Convenience

Compact and portable, our sleep apnea mouthguards are easy to use and carry, making them the perfect solution for patients who are frequently on the move.

Questions

Find answers to common concerns about whitening treatments and what to expect.

What are the common symptoms of sleep apnea?

Key indicators include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, waking up with a dry or sore throat, morning headaches, and excessive daytime fatigue.

How does a nightguard treat sleep apnea?

The appliance gently shifts the lower jaw forward, creating enough space to prevent the tongue from blocking the airway and allowing for easier breathing.

Is this treatment better than a CPAP machine?

For many patients with mild to moderate OSA, an oral appliance is preferred because it is quieter, more comfortable, and does not require electricity or bulky hoses.

How long does it take to adjust to the appliance?

While most patients feel a positive difference within just a few nights, it typically takes a few days to become fully accustomed to the feel of the nightguard.

What are the health risks of untreated sleep apnea?

If left unaddressed, OSA puts vital organs on overdrive, significantly increasing the risk of diabetes, stroke, depression, and heart disease.
