Snoring, daytime fatigue, brain fog, and irritability may be signs of more than just a restless night’s sleep. You could be experiencing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—a serious condition that causes repeated interruptions in breathing while you sleep.
Sleep apnea can lead to frequent pauses in breathing throughout the night, sometimes occurring hundreds of times, negatively affecting your health and overall quality of life. Common symptoms include:
Loud or chronic snoring
Gasping or choking during sleep
Persistent fatigue or low energy
Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
Insomnia, morning headaches, or waking up with a sore throat
At The Town Dentist in Englewood, NJ, we provide personalized sleep apnea treatments designed to help you breathe easier, sleep better, and feel more energized throughout the day.
Schedule a consultation today to learn more about your treatment options and take the first step toward healthier, more restful sleep.
At The Town Dentist, we offer two primary solutions for treating sleep apnea. Based on the severity of your condition, our team in Englewood, NJ will recommend the option that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
Oral appliances are a comfortable and effective treatment for many patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea. There are two common types:
Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD): Gently moves the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open by preventing throat tissues from collapsing during sleep.
Tongue-Retaining Device: Helps stabilize the tongue so it doesn’t fall back and block the airway.
These custom-made appliances are easy to wear, portable, and often preferred by patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.
For patients with more severe sleep apnea, we may work closely with your medical physician to coordinate care. CPAP therapy uses a machine that delivers continuous airflow through a fitted mask worn over the nose and/or mouth, ensuring uninterrupted breathing throughout the night.
At The Town Dentist in Englewood, your post-implant care is handled with precision and compassion. From healing guidance to final restoration, we ensure every step supports long-term success, comfort, and a fully restored, confident smile.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when the airway becomes blocked by relaxed throat muscles, the tongue, or jaw position.
Common signs of sleep apnea include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, excessive daytime fatigue, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, memory issues, irritability, and waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat.
Sleep apnea is typically diagnosed through a sleep study, either conducted in a sleep lab or at home. If you already have a diagnosis, our team can review your results. If not, we can help guide you toward the appropriate testing through a medical provider.
Yes. Dentists trained in dental sleep medicine can provide oral appliance therapy for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. These custom-made devices help keep the airway open during sleep by repositioning the jaw or tongue.
Medical insurance may cover sleep apnea treatment, including oral appliance therapy, depending on your plan and diagnosis. Our team can help verify coverage and explain your benefits.
