Sleep Apnea

Do you snore and often wake up tired? You deserve to enjoy healthy restful sleep. A small sleep apnea device can help!

Snore No More

Do you snore heavily and wake up tired after a full night’s sleep? If so, you may be suffering from sleep apnea. The most common signs and symptoms include loud and chronic snoring, morning headache, attention problems, awakening with a dry mouth or sore throat, episodes of breathing cessation during sleep, abrupt awakenings accompanied by shortness of breath, and feeling irritable, depressed, or having mood swings or personality changes.

Our dentists can accurately diagnose and treat sleep apnea and are dedicated to improving your quality of sleep and quality of life.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a chronic health problem that causes disruptions in your sleep and breathing. The causes vary but you may be at risk for sleep apnea if you have a history of:

Cardiac problems
High blood pressure
Stroke
Diabetes
Depression
Snoring
Taking medications for anxiety or depression

Treating sleep apnea is very important because studies show that a person with untreated sleep apnea lives an average of 5 years less than someone who is receiving treatment. There’s also an increased chance of having a stroke or heart attack.

Sleep Apnea Treatment Options

Sleep apnea screenings are the single most important service we provide other than cancer detection, and we are fully committed to the safety of our patients.

In addition, at Spodak Dental, we offer many different oral appliances to treat sleep apnea. At our office most appliances can be made with digital impressions. This is more comfortable and allows us to have a digital record of the entire process. If something breaks or needs to be remade it can often be take care of without an office visit.

What They say

Our facility was designed with your healing in mind

Bi•o•phil•i•a

noun a scientific movement linking human health and responsiveness to natural environments

Life loves life. It may seem like common sense to some, but it’s actually real science. Recent studies in biophilia have shown that people actually heal faster and perform better when surrounded by nature and natural light, which is why we designed every inch of this facility based on this principle.

Each operatory has floor-to-ceiling windows and live plants, which allow for a calming and healing environment for the patient. Doctors and team members also benefit as natural lighting lowers the occurrence of human errors.

Access to Natural Light

Absence of harmful chemicals

Clean air and filtered water

Frequently Asked Questions

“How do I know if I have sleep apnea?”

Answer these 10 questions if you answer mostly yes you may have sleep apnea.

• I have been told that I snore
• I have been told that I stop breathing when I sleep
• I am sleepy during the day
• I have high blood pressure
• I have been told that I sleep restlessly
• I frequently awaken with a headache
• Others have noted a change in my personality
• The diameter of my neck is 17 inches or larger
• I am likely to sleep or doze while sitting and talking to someone
• I feel a burning, tingling or crawling sensation in my legs when I wake up

“How serious is sleep apnea?”

Sleep apnea is very serious. We believe that offering sleep apnea screenings and subsequent treatment is one of the most important services we provide at our office. Studies show that not treating sleep apnea can rob you of, on average, about 5 years of your life.

“Can sleep apnea be cured?”

No but it can be managed with a CPAP machine or an oral appliance.

“I snore, do I have sleep apnea?”

Not necessarily, but studies show that 20 to 40 percent of people who snore also have sleep apnea.

“What’s the best way to treat sleep apnea? “

The treatment for sleep apnea depends on the level of apnea. But, for most mild to moderate cases, oral appliance therapy is effective. If you sleep apnea is central or severe, you may need a CPAP.
