Sleep Apnea & Snoring Appliances in Milton
4,8 Google Reviews
Sleep apnea is a serious condition where soft tissues collapse and block the airway during sleep, causing breathing interruptions that can last several seconds to over a minute. If left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea can be dangerous and, in some cases, life-threatening.
Understanding Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the throat relax excessively during sleep, narrowing or blocking the airway. This leads to repeated breathing interruptions throughout the night. If you or someone you know experiences snoring, fatigue, or breathing pauses during sleep, it may be time to seek professional evaluation.
Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed because symptoms occur during sleep. However, certain warning signs can indicate that your airway is being repeatedly blocked at night.
Loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep
Difficulty staying asleep
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Episodes of stopped breathing during sleep

Risk Factors for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea can affect adults and children. Certain factors may increase the likelihood of airway obstruction during sleep.
Obesity
Excess weight significantly increases the risk of airway blockage during sleep.
Large Neck Circumference
A thicker neck may indicate a narrower airway.
Family History & Anatomy
Inherited narrow throat structure, enlarged tonsils, or adenoids may contribute to airway obstruction.
Age & Gender
Sleep apnea occurs more frequently in older adults and is more common in men, though risk increases for women after menopause.
Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea & Snoring
If you or someone you know struggles with loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, irritability, memory issues, or insomnia, it may be time to consult an expert to determine whether obstructive sleep apnea is the cause. An oral appliance is a proven and effective treatment option for many sleep apnea patients. These custom-made devices are fitted by a dentist or orthodontist and are worn during sleep to help keep the airway open. By gently repositioning the jaw and supporting the surrounding tissues, oral appliances can reduce airway obstruction, improve breathing, and promote more restful, uninterrupted sleep.

I had my dental cleaning with the hygienist Lina today. As usual, Lina is very caring and meticulous at her work. She does not rush and keeps reminding us about how to keep our teeth healthy and clean. The receptionists at Denali Dental are super friendly and always receiving patients with a warm and welcoming smile. I am looking forward to my next appointment.

Absolutely amazing. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I'm kicking myself in the butt for not remembering the female dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth. I've never left the dentist not sore from a teeth cleaning. Today was the first in 50 years! She was gentle and made sure I was comfortable. You won't regret going here. Thank you.
Amazing clinic starting from the reception all thr way to the dentist and dental assistant.
