AIRWAY HEALTH & SLEEP CARE
Your Dentist Can Help You Sleep
Loud snoring, gasping awake, morning headaches, feeling exhausted after a full night’s sleep, these can be signs of an airway problem. Dentistry plays a real role here: for many snorers, and for people with diagnosed mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea who can’t tolerate a CPAP machine, a custom oral appliance worn at night can keep the airway open, small, silent, and travel-friendly. Conveniently located in Kingsland Plaza on Macleod Trail — minutes from Acadia, Fairview, Haysboro, Southwood, and Chinook Station.
How Oral Appliance Therapy Works
- Assessment — we examine your airway, jaw, and teeth, and review your symptoms and any sleep study results.
- Diagnosis where needed — sleep apnea itself is diagnosed by a physician through a sleep study; we work alongside your doctor to make sure treatment fits your diagnosis.
- Your custom appliance — precisely fitted to gently position your jaw so the airway stays open while you sleep.
- Follow-up — comfort adjustments and check-ins to make sure it’s working.
What Does It Cost?
Appliance therapy is quoted individually, you’ll receive a clear written quote after your assessment, and we’ll check whether your insurance contributes (many plans do when there’s a physician’s diagnosis) and bill directly where possible.
Common Questions
Is an oral appliance as good as CPAP? CPAP remains the gold standard for moderate-to-severe apnea, but the best treatment is the one you’ll actually use. For snoring and many mild-to-moderate cases, a well-fitted appliance is an effective, physician-endorsed alternative.
How do I know if it’s apnea or just snoring? You can’t know for sure without a sleep study, that’s why we coordinate with your physician. Either way, the assessment starts the path.
Is it comfortable? It’s custom-molded and slim, most patients adapt within a week or two.
