Improve Your Sleep

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the soft tissues in the throat relax and block the airway. This results in interrupted breathing throughout the night that can cause snoring, frequent waking, morning headaches, and daytime fatigue.

A custom oral appliance is an effective solution for many cases of apnea. It gently positions the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open.

Unlike a CPAP machine, a custom sleep guard is compact, quiet, and easy to use. You can expect a comfortable fit, making it more convenient to wear consistently.

By using a sleep device tailored to your needs, you can experience better rest, improved breathing, and enhanced overall health.

Get Surgical Relief When Needed

If you have severe sleep apnea or do not respond well to oral appliances, your dentist can recommend surgical options. Our oral surgeon can surgically reposition your lower jaw. It creates a larger airway to prevent soft tissue collapse during sleep.

Unlike temporary solutions, jaw surgery provides long-term relief. You will significantly reduce or eliminate your sleep apnea symptoms.

Of course, we do not recommend surgical intervention unless necessary. However, in cases where structural issues are causing severe airway obstruction, it can be the most effective treatment.

Our team carefully evaluates your condition to determine the solution. Whether an oral appliance or surgical intervention is right for you, you will find relief from your sleep apnea in Germantown.

They communicate via text occasionally which is much more convenient than getting on the phone sometimes! All good things from this group. They have a client for life. Even my eldest until he aged out of my family insurance came back for his cleanings rather than find one closer to his home!

Dr. Narendra and Brandy are the best. I had such a wonderful experience. The procedure went smooth. I did not feel any pain at all because they scheduled the proper time in between medication perfectly. No swelling or pain at all. Wonderful job.

Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling. She has been so helpful to me especially during times when there was difficulty getting my insurer to approve specialty treatments. I would also like to point out all the pleasant conversations I had with Daisha... Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea

How do I know if I have sleep apnea?

Common signs include loud snoring, waking up gasping for air, morning headaches, and persistent daytime fatigue. You might also experience irritability, difficulty concentrating, or memory problems throughout the day. Your bed partner may notice pauses in your breathing during sleep, which is a hallmark symptom. A professional evaluation is necessary for proper diagnosis, which we can arrange during your consultation.

What advantages does an oral appliance have over a CPAP machine?

Oral appliances are compact, portable, and don't require electricity or make noise while you sleep. Many patients find them more comfortable and less intrusive than CPAP masks, leading to better treatment compliance. They're easy to clean, maintain, and travel with, causing minimal disruption to your lifestyle. Additionally, oral appliances don't cause the dryness or irritation that some CPAP users experience.

When is surgery necessary for sleep apnea?

Surgery is typically considered when oral appliances and CPAP therapy have failed to provide adequate relief. Patients with severe anatomical obstructions or structural issues affecting the airway may be better candidates for surgical intervention. The decision for surgery is made after careful evaluation of your specific condition and medical history. While not our first recommendation, surgery can provide long-term relief for those with persistent, severe sleep apnea.
