Sleep Apnea Therapy
Sleep Apnea Therapy at Holladay Dental Excellence.
Sleep apnea therapy at Holladay Dental Excellence is designed to help individuals who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. Using a custom-fitted dental appliance, we work to keep the lower jaw in a forward position to prevent airway obstruction caused by relaxed throat muscles. This alternative to CPAP therapy offers patients a more comfortable, non-invasive solution that is easy to wear and maintain. The appliance helps improve airflow during sleep, reducing the risks associated with sleep apnea while providing a better night's rest for both the patient and their sleep partner. We collaborate with your doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Sleep Apnea Therapy at Holladay Dental Excellence—Sleep Better, Live Better.
Sleep apnea is a condition where the airway becomes partially or fully blocked during sleep, causing interruptions in breathing. These blockages occur when the muscles in the throat relax too much, leading to tissue collapse occluding the tongue and airway. This results in moments of suffocation, causing the brain to briefly wake the person to resume normal breathing. The repeated disruptions in sleep can lead to daytime fatigue, cognitive issues, and increased risks for serious health problems such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
