SLEEP APNOEA APPLIANCES

Waking up tired? Snoring? Let's discuss your dental treatment options!

Is disrupted, restless sleep or snoring impacting your life or your partner? You may benefit from discussing this with your dentist in Southall to assess whether using a custom-made sleep apnoea dental appliance is for you.

If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to more serious health issues. Custom-made dental appliances can be very effective in treating sleep apnoea, assisting with both snoring and insomnia. You may notice results immediately after the first use of the appliance, contributing to improved sleep and restored health.

WHAT ARE SLEEP APNOEA APPLIANCES?

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea occurs during sleep when some of your muscles in the airway and throat relax, causing you to stop breathing for short periods. We want to assist you in getting the rest your body deserves at night, to rest and refresh. That’s why we offer sleep apnoea appliances designed to help treat your sleep apnoea or similar sleeping conditions at Lady Margaret Road Dental Surgery. These devices are worn at night to hold your jaw forward to keep airways open, allowing you to breathe normally.

Your dentist in Southall fits custom-made sleep apnoea devices. Unlike other sleep apnoea solutions such as CPAP machines, these appliances are very portable, easy to care for, and may be the solution for you.
