Sleep Apnea – Las Vegas, NV

Enjoy Peaceful, Restful Nights Once Again

When you wake up in the morning, do you feel refreshed and ready to take on the new day, or do you still feel tired even if you went allowed yourself plenty of time to rest? Sleep apnea could be preventing you from getting a good night’s sleep, and you might not even realize it until you’re already suffering from heart problems and other long-term consequences of the disorder. Dr. West has been trained extensively in treating sleep apnea, and she’s happy to offer solutions for anyone struggling with sleep-disordered breathing.

Why Choose Summerlin Center for Aesthetic Dentistry for Sleep Apnea?

  • Treatment That Addresses the Root of the Problem
  • Therapy Options for Children and Adults Alike
  • Fully Customized, Comfortable Oral Appliances

Oral Appliance Therapy

The most common form of sleep apnea occurs when the upper airway becomes blocked by soft tissues in the mouth or throat. Oral appliances can prevent such obstructions by either preventing the tongue from falling back and blocking the throat or moving the lower jaw forward to keep the airway as clear as possible. (Some oral appliances can do both.) Don’t worry about the appliance falling out at night; it will be customized to fit securely and comfortably on your teeth.

Vivos

One downside of oral appliances and CPAP therapy is that they often only address the symptoms of sleep apnea. With the Vivos Daytime-Nighttime Appliance system, however, we can help you find a much more permanent solution. The appliances you wear will gradually expand your palate to ensure that there’s plenty of room for air so that you can breathe comfortably all throughout the night. In other words, it’s a nonsurgical solution for improving the structure of the airway in order to stop sleep apnea for good.
