At Stunning Smiles, our most popular Santa Rosa sleep apnea treatment option are oral appliances. For us to create your customized oral appliance, we require that you have a medical referral and diagnosis before visiting our office. Once we have the information we need, Dr. Attri will take detailed impressions of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Our team will then craft your appliance using your impressions so that it fits comfortably and securely in your mouth. We'll also take this time to answer any questions you may have about your new appliance and break down cleaning and care instructions.
Regardless of your sleep apnea severity, we'll put all our knowledge and resources to work to improve your quality of life. Our Santa Rosa sleep apnea team enjoys answering questions and encourages you to ask them as they come to mind. Some of the most frequently asked questions about sleep apnea include:
If I snore loudly, do I have sleep apnea?
Loud snoring does not necessarily mean you have sleep apnea. Simple snoring is caused by a partial blockage of the airway but is not accompanied by pauses in breathing.
Do I have an increased risk of sleep apnea?
Certain individuals are more susceptible to developing sleep apnea. Some of the most common risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and obesity. We highly recommend that you discuss these factors with your primary care physician when you get your medical referral.
Does sleep apnea only affect adults?
Sleep apnea can affect patients of all ages. Luckily, oral appliances can be made to fit any smile and help you get back to having restful and productive nights.
Are oral appliances awkward to wear?
Your appliance will be specially designed to fit your mouth comfortably. There may be a short period of time where your body will adjust to the appliance. Additionally, your sleeping position won't impact the effectiveness of your appliance.
