Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea Treatment in Atlanta, GA

Breathe Easy and Sleep Soundly with Expert Care at Atlanta Dental Center

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that affects millions of people, causing interrupted breathing during sleep and leading to a variety of health issues. If you’re experiencing loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or restless sleep, you may be suffering from sleep apnea. At Atlanta Dental Center, located in the heart of Atlanta, GA, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments to help you breathe easier and enjoy a better night’s sleep.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much, causing a blockage in your airway. This interruption in breathing can happen dozens or even hundreds of times a night, leading to poor sleep quality and other serious health problems.e

Why Treating Sleep Apnea Is Important

Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications, including:

  • High Blood Pressure: Frequent interruptions in breathing can increase blood pressure and strain your cardiovascular system.
  • Heart Disease: Sleep apnea is linked to an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and irregular heartbeats.
  • Type 2 Diabetes: Sleep apnea can make it harder to control blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
  • Weight Gain: Poor sleep can affect your metabolism, leading to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
  • Depression and Anxiety: The chronic fatigue and poor sleep associated with sleep apnea can contribute to mental health issues.

By treating sleep apnea, you can significantly reduce these risks and improve your overall health.

Non-Invasive Sleep Apnea Treatment in Atlanta, GA

At Atlanta Dental Center, we specialize in customized oral appliance therapy, a non-invasive and effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. This small, comfortable device is worn in the mouth while you sleep and works by keeping your airway open, preventing the collapse of soft tissues in the throat.

Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy:

  • Comfortable and Easy to Use: Unlike CPAP machines, oral appliances are compact, quiet, and easy to wear.
  • Custom-Fitted for You: Our Atlanta-based dentists will take precise measurements of your mouth to create a custom-fitted appliance that ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness.
  • Improves Sleep Quality: By keeping your airway open, the appliance reduces snoring and prevents breathing interruptions, allowing you to enjoy restful sleep.
  • Portable and Convenient: Oral appliances are easy to travel with, making them a convenient option for managing sleep apnea on the go.

Our Sleep Apnea Treatment Process

1. Comprehensive Evaluation:

During your initial consultation at our Atlanta office, our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if oral appliance therapy is right for you. We may also collaborate with your primary care physician or a sleep specialist to ensure the best possible treatment plan.

2. Custom Appliance Fitting:

If oral appliance therapy is recommended, we will take detailed impressions of your teeth and mouth to create a custom-fitted appliance. This ensures a comfortable fit that effectively keeps your airway open during sleep.

3. Follow-Up and Adjustments:

After you receive your oral appliance, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments at our Atlanta location to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Our goal is to ensure you experience the full benefits of the treatment and enjoy better sleep and improved health.
