Sleep Apnea Treatment in Cochrane, AB

Reliable Solutions to Help You Sleep Easier

Your quality of sleep can significantly affect your overall well-being. Sleep apnea is a disorder that disrupts your sleep and can have a very serious impact on your health. Lack of proper sleep can result in high blood pressure, heart disease, chronic acid reflux, strokes, and more. At Fifth Avenue Dental Clinic, we care about the health of our patients. We offer various sleep apnea treatment devices for qualifying patients to try and combat sleep apnea and snoring, so you can get the sleep you need.

How Do Dentists Treat Sleep Apnea & Snoring?

To treat snoring and sleep apnea, we use oral appliance therapy. Patients are given a dental device that is worn in the mouth during sleep. It is designed to prevent the airway from closing by ensuring the jaw is supported and rested in a forward position. These appliances are worn like a mouth guard and can result in significantly improved sleep.

What are the benefits of using dental devices to treat sleep apnea?

• They are portable.
• They are discreet.
• They tend to make a difference right away.
• They do not use electricity like CPAP machines.

Do You Qualify for Dental Devices?

While these oral appliances can be extremely effective, they are not for everyone. Typically, those with severe sleep apnea cannot use them. Dr. Kostyk is qualified to consult with you and discuss your case. She works hard to ensure that each patient receives the best treatment for their situation. If you qualify for this type of sleep apnea treatment, a dental device will be custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth. Fifth Avenue Dental Clinic is available to help you learn more about treatments for sleep apnea and snoring.
