Our Difference
Airway-Centered Dentistry
We take an airway-focused approach to care, looking at how your teeth, jaw, and airway work together. By addressing the root causes of sleep-disordered breathing, we create more effective, long-term solutions for better sleep and overall health.
Botox for Jaw Tension
Botox can help relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing clenching, grinding, and tension that can impact your overall sleep. This simple treatment supports greater comfort and overall function as part of your care plan.
Invisalign for Airway Health
Invisalign can do more than straighten teeth! By aligning your bite and creating space, clear aligners can support better breathing and complement your sleep apnea treatment.

The Sleep Apnea Treatment Process
Sleep Test And Diagnosis
The first step is seeing a sleep specialist for a diagnosis. If you’ve already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, we will begin with a consultation to discuss your concerns and outline a proposed treatment plan.
Treatment Discussion
Treatment options vary based on the severity of your sleep apnea. For mild cases, a custom retainer may be all that’s needed. More severe cases may require solutions like a CPAP machine or even oral surgery to remove excess tissue. Your sleep specialist will guide you through the best treatment for your needs.
Partnering with Your Dentist
If your treatment involves a retainer, orthodontics, or surgery, our team is here to assist. We’ll collaborate with your sleep specialist to ensure you receive the best care and support for managing your sleep apnea effectively.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) involves wearing a custom-made mouthguard while you sleep. This device gently shifts your jaw to keep your airway open, preventing oral tissue from blocking your airflow. As a result, your breathing remains uninterrupted throughout the night. OAT is most effective for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Along with professional treatments, your sleep specialist and dentist may suggest lifestyle changes to help manage sleep apnea. These could include quitting smoking, exercising, losing weight, avoiding alcohol and drugs (especially before bed), and sleeping on your side rather than your back or stomach.
CPAP, or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, is a machine that delivers a steady stream of pressurized air through a mask while you sleep. This air prevents your airway from collapsing, stopping sleep apnea episodes. CPAP is typically recommended for patients with more severe cases of sleep apnea.
ProSomnus sleep appliances are custom-made oral devices designed to treat sleep apnea by gently keeping your airway open while you sleep. Unlike CPAP machines, these appliances are quiet, comfortable, and easy to travel with. As one of the leading sleep appliance companies in the world, ProSomnus devices are precision-crafted for effectiveness, comfort, and long-term durability—helping you breathe easier and sleep more comfortably.
Snoring is common, but it can also be a warning sign of sleep apnea! When snoring is frequent, loud, or paired with symptoms like gasping, choking, or daytime fatigue, it may indicate that your airway is being partially blocked during sleep. Identifying and treating the cause early can help improve your sleep quality and reduce your risk of more serious health concerns.
Airway-centered dentistry focuses on how your teeth, jaw, and airway work together to support healthy breathing. Instead of only treating symptoms, this approach looks at the root causes of issues like snoring, sleep apnea, and poor sleep quality. By improving airway function, we can help enhance not just your sleep, but your overall health and well-being.
The simple answer is yes! Both Botox and Invisalign can help relieve tension headaches caused by clenching or grinding when treatment is performed by experienced providers. Botox works by relaxing overactive jaw muscles, reducing strain and discomfort, while Invisalign helps align your bite to minimize uneven pressure on your teeth and jaw. Together or individually, these treatments can reduce headaches, improve comfort, and support better overall function.
Somfit is a comfortable, wearable device used for at-home sleep studies. It collects detailed data on your breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and sleep quality while you rest in your own bed. This allows us to better understand how your body functions during sleep and create a more accurate, personalized treatment plan—without the need for an overnight lab study.
