What Patients Are Saying
FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions from our patients.
How does an oral appliance work to treat sleep apnea?
Oral appliances work by gently repositioning your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open during sleep. This helps prevent the soft tissues in your throat from collapsing and obstructing your breathing, which is the primary cause of obstructive sleep apnea. Our custom-fitted appliances are designed to be comfortable and effective, allowing you to breathe freely throughout the night without the need for a CPAP machine.
What are the advantages of laser treatment for sleep apnea?
Laser treatment for sleep apnea offers several advantages over traditional therapies. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed in our office with little to no downtime. It works by using laser energy to tighten and strengthen the soft palate and surrounding tissues, reducing vibrations that cause snoring and helping to keep the airway open. This can lead to long-lasting improvements in sleep apnea symptoms without the need for nightly use of a device.
Is sleep apnea treatment covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans do provide coverage for sleep apnea treatment, including oral appliances and sometimes laser procedures. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific plan and the type of treatment recommended. Our team will work with you to verify your insurance benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs before beginning treatment. We also offer flexible financing options to help make your sleep apnea therapy more affordable.
How long does it take to see results from sleep apnea treatment?
Many patients report improvements in their sleep quality and daytime alertness within the first few weeks of using their oral appliance or receiving laser treatment. However, the full benefits of treatment may take a few months to become apparent as your body adjusts to sleeping with an unobstructed airway. We'll closely monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you're getting the maximum benefit from your treatment.
Generally, sleep apnea can be managed and maintained.
