Enjoy Healthier, Happier Days and Nights

Sleep gives your body a chance to recover from daily stress and maintain overall health. However, getting enough hours in bed doesn’t guarantee quality rest. Snoring often signals that your breathing is compromised during sleep. This occurs when soft tissues in your mouth collapse onto your airway, causing you to repeatedly stop breathing throughout the night. If you’re experiencing persistent snoring or daytime fatigue, our general dentistry team can help identify the underlying cause. The American Sleep Apnea Association reports that an estimated 22 million Americans have sleep apnea, with many cases going undiagnosed. At Charlotte Dental Arts, our experienced team provides safe, comfortable, and effective sleep apnea treatment to help you overcome this harmful condition.

Helping You Overcome Sleep Apnea

We’re committed to helping you enjoy the benefits of restful nights and productive, energetic days. While snoring serves as the most obvious symptom, sleep apnea can cause a range of problems that affect your daily life. You may struggle to stay alert and focused at work or school. Your loud snoring can disrupt the sleep of others in your household. More seriously, untreated sleep apnea increases your risk for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke. To help you overcome sleep apnea, our team provides custom oral appliances that keep your airway open while you sleep. These devices also prevent destructive teeth grinding that often accompanies sleep disorders. Without proper treatment, you face elevated risks for numerous health complications that could have been prevented. Our restorative dentistry approach ensures your oral health supports your overall wellness.

How Much Does a Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance Cost in Charlotte?

Once you’ve received a sleep apnea diagnosis from your physician, we offer customized oral appliances to protect you from its dangers. These devices resemble the mouthguards athletes use during sports but serve a different purpose. Our team creates precise impressions of your teeth to ensure your oral appliance fits comfortably and securely. When your custom mouthguard is ready, you’ll simply slip it over your teeth at bedtime. The appliance holds your lower jaw slightly forward, which prevents soft tissues from blocking your airway and causing you to snore. Many patients notice improvements virtually immediately, experiencing more energy during the day and quieter, more restful sleep at night. Unlike bulky CPAP machines, oral appliances offer a portable, quiet, and comfortable solution. The device also protects your teeth from grinding damage that can occur during sleep. Beyond helping with sleep apnea, patients who need dental implants or other restorative work often find that treating their sleep disorder first leads to better long-term outcomes. Our comprehensive approach ensures all aspects of your oral health work together to support your overall wellness.
