Sleep Dentistry in Sugar Land

What is Sleep Dentistry?

Sleep dentistry, also known as dental sleep medicine, is a specialized area of dentistry that focuses on the treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders such as snoring, sleep apnea, and upper airway resistance syndrome. If left untreated, these conditions can significantly impact one's quality of life, causing daytime fatigue, headaches, and even serious health complications. At Sunrise Dentistry, we now offer comprehensive sleep dentistry services, including take-home medical sleep tests and customized oral appliances, to help our patients achieve a better night's sleep.

Sleep Evaluation

Your journey to better sleep begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Jankowski and our team will conduct an in-depth consultation to understand your symptoms and sleep patterns. We offer take-home sleep tests that you can use in the comfort of your own bed, which provide us with valuable data about your sleep quality and any potential disorders.

Diagnosis

Your sleep test results are analyzed by medical doctors who specialize in sleep and airway conditions. They will provide a detailed report, including a diagnosis if a sleep breathing disorder is detected. Dr. Jankowski will review these findings with you and discuss the most suitable treatment options.

Treatment

If you're diagnosed with a sleep breathing disorder, we can create a special oral appliance tailored to your needs.

These devices are designed to keep your airway open while you sleep, and are often more comfortable and convenient than a CPAP machine.

The Benefits Of Oral Appliances

Enhanced Comfort and Ease of Use

Oral appliances offer a more comfortable and user-friendly alternative to CPAP machines for treating sleep apnea and snoring. Unlike the CPAP's mask and hose, oral appliances are compact, fitting inside the mouth to gently adjust the position of the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. This simplicity in design eliminates the discomfort and inconvenience associated with wearing a mask, making it easier for patients to adhere to their treatment every night.

Convenient for Travel

The compact size and portability of oral appliances make them an ideal solution for patients who travel frequently. CPAP machines require a power source and special care during transport, while oral appliances can easily fit into a small carrying case. This allows patients to maintain their sleep apnea treatment regardless of where they are.

A Quieter, More Restful Night

Oral appliances provide a significantly quieter solution to sleep apnea and snoring, ensuring that both you and your partner can enjoy a more peaceful night's sleep. By eliminating the need for a loud CPAP machine, this treatment option removes one of the common barriers to a restful night for both you and your partner. Both you and your partner deserve to sleep soundly.
